the challenges
Spread across numerous locations, most operations are in conflict-ridden and war-torn countries, making it difficult to move around. With offices having limited space, pre-hiring assessments brought an additional set of logistical issues.
The challenge
  • Security challenges
  • Possibility of unfair practices during tests
  • Legacy processes
  • Time & cost
  • Reserving a space for assessments
  • Providing requisite materials
  • Getting all candidates to appear for the test at a particular date and time 

While this was a costly and time-consuming process, there was also a major security threat with the possibility of imposters showing up in the office under the pretext of being a candidate attempting the test. In smaller locations where the tests would be conducted over a couple of days, there was also the risk of candidates sharing test questions with other candidates yet to take the test.

Remote assessments would prove an ideal solution to address all of these challenges. iMocha’s remote assessment features proved the ideal solution, enabling candidates to attempt the tests as per the time frame set by the hiring team. The advanced image and video proctoring, window lock with test termination, question randomization, and disabled copy/paste features ensured candidates did not participate in any unfair means and only deserving candidates would be shortlisted. Besides this, the WFP team was also happy about the added flexibility for the candidates – no need to take an entire day out of their schedule to travel to the test location, and attempting the test at their convenience helped improve the candidate experience as well. With all the candidate test data in a single repository, it was easier for the hiring manager to make a hiring decision. The advanced analytics and visual reporting were an added plus point.

Step by step explanation of the workflow:

  • They did not have a large recruitment team that could reach out to these universities across the USA to participate in career fairs and interact with the students. This hampered their recruitment roadmap.
