• The candidate’s resume should match the candidate’s current skill proficiency.
• Beyond certifications, the candidate should have practical knowledge of stated concepts.
• Recruiting managers/ hiring managers should not be burdened with assessing skills they lack knowledge or expertise in.
• Getting the right questions, different levels of questions for job functions, and vacancies for assessing candidates. ·
• Quality over quantity – Shortlisting skilled and relevant candidates from a large pipeline to drill down to the most relevant candidates could save ample time.
  
• In the case of remote tests, ensure the candidate taking the assessment is the same candidate that appears for further rounds.

Remote assessments would prove an ideal solution to address all of these challenges. While a custom tool for conducting assessments was available in-house, the challenge for this international organization was not in the tool per se. The initial attraction for them was iMocha’s expansive skill library. With a 2,000+ skill library, being empowered by a platform that functioned as an external team with the prompt capability to produce assessments to test specific subject expertise, be it supply chain or a different skill, within a short period was the highlight. Eliminating the need for HR to depend on SMEs for creating tests and ultimately saving time in the process.
