#pre employment assessments

[lady-t-driver]

It took 2 weeks to hear back from my interview 🙈 I had started to think that I hadn't been successful, but thankfully, I did pass this stage. I was invited to attend a second assessment day in April, which would involve computerised tests and a multi-modal interview.

There were only 5 of us at this assessment day, and we were all taken into a room (full of computers) and allocated a desk each.

In this set of assessments, the computerised tests we were required to complete a situational judgement exercise and some vigilance & perception tests.

If we were successful with these, then we would be given a multi-modal interview with an assessor.

These exercises have been designed to assess a range of different characteristics that are required of a trainee driver either in training or whilst performing the job.

I found these tests ok, but I have to admit, I didn't find them as enjoyable as the first set of assessments 😅

Vigilance test.

During this test, the screen displayed a white screen, and in the middle of the white screen was a grey square that was constantly flashing. Throughout the test, this square occasionally got darker in colour. When this happened, I had to press a button on the keyboard as quickly as possible.

This tests vigilance and reaction speed. I had to to respond as quickly and accurately as possible during this test, as you are penalised for errors.

This test lasted for approximately 30 minutes.

A vigilance test.

During this test, i was presented with a series of photos of traffic scenes. I had a list of items to look out for within each scene, such as pedestrians, traffic lights, etc. After each picture briefly flashed on the screen, I had to select which items I saw in each picture. This was repeated several times with different images.

2 hand coordination test

This was my favourite 😅 its a bit like the game where you pass the loop over the electric wire without it touching.

In this test, you had 2 joysticks. The left joystick only operates left to right, and the right only operates up and down. On the screen, you will see a shape. You have to direct a ball, using your joysticks, through the shape from one side of the screen to the other, and keep it within the lines as best you can.

There are 10 shapes to complete in this test.

Situational judgement exercise.

This is a computerised questionnaire. It aims to measure how compatible your preferred ways of behaving are with the

safety requirements and characteristics of the train driving job.

The test consists of 21 everyday dilemma scenarios, each with one or more response options. Each response option describes actions that could be taken to try and resolve the situation. You will rate how helpful or unhelpful each response option is in dealing with the situation.

For example -

You arrive to collect your manager and drive him to the station. He has been in a meeting and sounds angry. You both go back to your car and get in. You put on your

seatbelt but he does not. You are aware that it is company policy for the driver to make sure that passengers have their seatbelts on.You say to your manager that you are all supposed to put seatbelts on but that you do not mind whether he does or not, it is his choice.

How helpful would this action be in resolving the situation?

1 Very unhelpful

2 Unhelpful

3 Neither helpful nor unhelpful

4 Helpful

5 Very helpful

Your ratings for all of the response options are used to calculate a measure of how closely your preferences match the ideal train driver in terms of behaviour.

Research has shown that train drivers who score highly on the SJE tend to be rated highly by their managers on the behavioural aspects of their performance.

Multi-modal interview

This interview is a special type of structured interview that

has been designed specifically to assess the characteristics needed for safe train driving.

The results of the interview are used together with the results from the situational judgement exercise and the other assessment methods to decide if you are suitable to become a train driver.

I was asked to give examples of different types of experiences that I have had. (You can use examples from training, education, leisure or family life. The interviewer will evaluate your answers in the same way regardless of the context so do not worry that non-work examples will be seen as less valuable.)

Once again, i did not find out my results on the day, i was told to keep an eye on my emails and thanked for attending.

Trainability

Hiring managers and recruiters often struggle to identify the best candidates because they don't have enough time or resources to conduct thorough background checks. This leads them to hire unqualified applicants who might turn out to be bad hires. Learn more: https://blog.hirenest.com/why-recruiters-should-look-trainability/

The average hiring manager spends only 2 hours per week screening resumes. That means they miss out on hundreds of qualified candidates every month. A study conducted by one big company found that nearly half (46%) of employers say their biggest challenge is finding qualified talent. In addition, over 40% of companies report having difficulty filling open positions due to lack of skills and experience. If you're looking for a job, it's important to keep your resume updated. Every few months, update your resume with new skills and experiences. It will help you stand out from the crowd and give you a competitive edge.

The ability to learn new skills quickly is one of the most important traits in any employee. And yet, we often overlook this trait when hiring people. We assume that everyone has the same level of trainability as us. This assumption is wrong. In fact, some people are more trainable than others. 

What makes a person trainable?

“Trainability” refers to someone's ability to learn new skills quickly and easily. In fact, trainable people tend to be more successful than those with high IQs but low trainability. You can find out more in our article: https://blog.hirenest.com/why-recruiters-should-look-trainability/

The answer lies in the way we think about training. If you look at the history of sports, it was only after people started thinking of training as a process of adaptation that they began to see improvements in performance. This is why I believe that the best approach to training is not just to focus on what you want to improve but rather to understand where you currently stand and then work backwards from there. The most important thing I learned was that it's not just about what people say they want; it's about what they actually do. If someone says he wants something, but doesn't act like he really does, then we should assume he doesn't really want it. This is why I think it's so important to look at behavior change from the outside, rather than focusing only on what people tell us they're doing.

Trainability Addresses the Widening Skills Gap

The skills gap has become one of the most pressing issues facing our economy today. In fact, it’s so important that President Obama recently called it “the defining challenge of our time.” According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly half of all jobs will require some form of training by 2020. And yet, only about 20 percent of Americans say they feel prepared for those new roles.

So what does this mean? It means we must train people differently than we did before. It means we must teach them not just how to do things but why they should care about doing them. It means we must help them understand the importance of being able to perform at high levels consistently.

This is where the power of gamification comes into play. Gamification isn’t just another buzzword—it’s a proven way to motivate employees and increase engagement. Companies like Zappos, Disney, and Google have used gamification to great success. They know that if you want someone to complete something, give them a little incentive. If you want them to work harder, give them a bigger reward. If you want them excited about their job, give them a chance to compete against others. 

Conclusion

A recent study found that hiring managers rate trainable candidates as more desirable than those with experience. This was true even when the candidate had no relevant work experience. In fact, recruiters rated trainable candidates as much more desirable than experienced ones. So why does this happen?

The answer lies in our brains. While we tend to think of ourselves as rational beings who weigh all information before making decisions, new research suggests otherwise. Our decision-making process is actually based on emotions rather than logic. Researchers at Cornell University conducted two experiments to test whether people would prefer to hire someone with little experience but lots of potential versus someone with years of experience but less potential. They asked job applicants to complete a personality questionnaire called the Big Five Inventory (BFI). Applicants were then given mock interviews where they answered interview questions. Afterward, they completed another BFI survey. Those who scored high on extraversion and conscientiousness were deemed “trainable.” Trainable candidates received higher scores from both the interviewer and applicant surveys. But what really stood out was that the results held regardless of the applicant’s level of experience. Even though the trainable candidates had fewer years of experience, they still received higher ratings from the interviewer and applicant surveys than did the experienced candidates. This study shows that even with less experience, trainable candidates were rated more highly by interviewers and applicants. It also showed that the difference between the two groups was consistent across all levels of experience. So, while some people may think that hiring managers prefer experienced candidates over those with less experience, this study suggests that they don't necessarily make such distinctions when evaluating candidates.

The study found that interviewers were able to identify trainable candidates at rates similar to those who scored well on the applicant survey. This suggests that hiring managers may not need to rely solely on applicant feedback to identify potential trainees. It turns out that the way we perceive others has a lot to do with how we feel about ourselves. For example, if we believe that we’re not smart enough to succeed, it will affect how we view others who seem smarter than us. If we don’t see ourselves as capable, we won’t try hard enough to achieve success. And if we don’t like ourselves, we won’ t want to help others improve either.

Navigating the Maze: Choosing the Ideal Pre-Employment Assessment Test

Selecting the right pre-employment assessment software is a crucial step in streamlining your hiring process and identifying top talent. With a myriad of options available, finding the perfect fit for your organization can be daunting. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this intricate terrain:

1. Budget and Pricing: Budget considerations play a pivotal role in selecting the ideal assessment software. Evaluate pricing models offered by different vendors, considering factors such as per-job or per-test pricing, minimum commitments, and additional fees for admins and users. Opt for a pricing structure that aligns with your hiring needs and budget constraints.

2. Verify Software Fit: Assess whether the software meets your specific hiring requirements. Scrutinize the relevance and quality of question banks provided, ensuring they align with your assessment needs, whether technical, psychometric, or aptitude-based. Choose a solution tailored to your hiring scale and process requirements.

3. Reporting Mechanism: Efficient decision-making hinges on robust reporting mechanisms. Opt for software that automates candidate ranking based on test scores, generating comprehensive performance reports aligned with predefined rubrics. Ensure seamless integration with existing HR systems for easy report sharing and analysis.

4. Usability: Simplicity is key. Prioritize user-friendly software with intuitive interfaces, minimizing clicks to accomplish tasks. Smooth navigation and thoughtful design enhance user experience, empowering your HR team to work efficiently and effectively.

5. Candidate Usability: A seamless candidate experience is paramount. Choose software that offers hassle-free test-taking experiences, accessible from any Internet-enabled device without requiring downloads or visits to assessment centers. A positive candidate experience reflects well on your organization and enhances employer branding.

6. Anti-fraud Mechanism: Ensure the software incorporates robust anti-fraud mechanisms to maintain the integrity of assessments. Features like webcam proctoring and copy-paste detection deter fraudulent practices, ensuring fair evaluation of candidates.

7. Technical Aspects: Simplify operations with user-friendly software that requires minimal technical expertise. Avoid overly complex systems that hinder adoption and require extensive training. Look for clear operational manuals and responsive support to address technical queries promptly.

8. Support: Prioritize software vendors offering comprehensive support throughout the hiring process. Evaluate support offerings for different pricing plans, including live chat, phone support, and turnaround times for support requests. Timely assistance is crucial for seamless operations.

9. Customization and Branding: Enhance employer branding with customized assessments aligned with your company culture. Choose software offering branding options like logo display and white-labeling to reinforce your brand identity throughout the assessment process.

10. Integrations: Streamline HR processes with seamless integration between assessment software and other HR systems like ATS and onboarding tools. Ensure compatibility with existing systems and inquire about additional costs for integrations.

11. Compliance Requirements: Ensure compliance with organizational policies and regulatory standards. Verify certifications like ISO, EEOC, and GDPR compliance, prioritizing the security and privacy of candidate data. Clarify data collection, storage practices, and vendor compliance with organizational hiring practices.

12. Mode of Deployment: Consider deployment options based on organizational preferences and IT requirements. Cloud-based solutions offer flexibility and scalability, while on-premise deployments cater to organizations with dedicated IT infrastructure.

In conclusion, selecting the best pre-employment assessment software entails careful consideration of budget, fit, usability, support, and compliance. By aligning these factors with your organization's hiring needs, you can streamline your recruitment process and identify the right talent efficiently.

How and Where to Incorporate Pre-Employment Testing into Your Hiring Process

Hiring the wrong person can reduce productivity and even cost your business thousands of dollars. Hence, a pre-employment skills assessment has become a key tool in the hiring process—a smart and efficient way to make the right hiring decision. These tests enable companies to evaluate applicants' skills fairly and make better hires.

 A  is an effective way for businesses to ensure that the employees they hire are skilled enough for the intended role. These tests showcase the candidate's ability to carry out the role successfully and perform well if hired. Read on to learn how to choose the right tests and where to incorporate them in hiring.

How to Choose a Pre-Employment Assessment

You can make the most out of your pre-employment assessment by using a combination of tests. You can combine role-based aptitude tests with specific questions about the candidate's problem-solving, numerical reasoning, and critical thinking skills.

Your choice will ultimately depend on the ideal candidate profile you have created for the job role and the role you are hiring for. For an entry-level job, general cognitive ability may be the key. But for other roles like sales, marketing, or engineering, you can go for specific skills tests.

For instance, if you are hiring for a junior UI developer, a good mix of tests can include programming skills tests with some probing questions about their general mental ability. This will give candidates with good potential a fair shot. A basic, short technical skills assessment can help you narrow down the applicants quickly. The best ones chosen from this test can be given a structured interview and even extra interviews if you still have doubts.

For a senior role, you have to dig deeper into the candidate's skills from the start, for which you can combine a basic pre-employment test with an open-ended coding assignment to evaluate a broader scope of skills.

You can also add an asynchronous video interview, like a pre-recorded video Q&A, created by the candidate and sharing more information about their experiences, skills, and knowledge. If your senior role includes managerial duties, you may add a behavioral interview to evaluate the candidate's situational judgment, people management skills, and communication skills.

How and Where in the Recruitment Process to Fit a Pre-employment Assessment

Candidate screening: you can identify qualified candidates quickly at the beginning of the hiring process through short, standardized tests. These tests should be designed to evaluate the applicant's core competencies and aptitude for the role. These candidate screening tests include cognitive ability tests, language proficiency pre-employment assessments, technical skills assessments, and role-based job knowledge tests.

Candidate shortlisting: You can use a combination of open-ended assignments and structured interviews to get extra data for decision-making. This will reduce bias by focusing on the candidate's abilities and character traits.

Candidate selection: You can get a final proof of competency by evaluating the candidate's skills in action with job simulations that represent real-world tasks and challenges in their new role.

To Sum Up

Pre-employment testing is a modern, efficient, engaging, and fair way to screen candidates for any job role. These assessments strengthen the recruitment process and also enable data-driven hiring and, thus, smarter HR decisions.

Providing Constructive Criticism

How often should you provide constructive criticism? There are two types of feedback: positive and negative. Positive feedback helps us improve our performance, whereas negative feedback motivates us to change our behavior. The problem is, that sometimes we don’t realize when we’re providing negative feedback. This leads to resentment, frustration, and even anger. Learn more: https://blog.hirenest.com/providing-constructive-criticism-to-employees/

When giving feedback, focus on the positives. If you want to motivate someone, give them only positive feedback. In this case, I was trying to help him understand why he wasn't getting any responses from his audience. He had already tried to figure out what was wrong by himself, but it didn't work. So I pointed out the obvious mistake (he forgot to include the "?") and told him not to worry about it because people will forget things like that. It's just part of being human.

What are Examples of Constructive Criticism?

The first step in any writing project is to write down what you want to say. Then edit it so it makes sense. If you don’t know where to start, try brainstorming ideas. Once you have some ideas, narrow them down into a list of topics. You can find out more in our article: https://blog.hirenest.com/providing-constructive-criticism-to-employees/

How do I avoid being too critical? When giving feedback, focus on the positive aspects of someone's work rather than criticizing mistakes. Instead of saying "You're wrong," say something like "I think this could be improved by..."  

How do I give constructive criticism? The best way to give constructive criticism is to ask yourself if you would benefit from the information. For example, if you notice that a colleague has a habit of leaving his desk at lunchtime without telling anyone, then you might consider asking him why he does this. It may not seem like a big deal but it could help him improve his productivity.

In order to achieve success, we must take responsibility for our actions. This means taking ownership of our decisions, instead of blaming others. It also means accepting accountability for our failures.

Why is Constructive Criticism in the Workplace Important?

It helps us improve our performance. If we don’t hear feedback from others, we may not know what we’re doing well or where we could improve. This means we might miss out on opportunities to grow and develop. I think it’s important to give honest feedback. But if someone criticises me too harshly, they risk making me feel defensive and resentful. That will lead to them losing respect for me, which will affect our working relationship.

Benefits of Constructive Criticism in the Workplace

The most important thing I learned from this experience was to never give up. If you want something badly enough, you will find a way to achieve it. A lot of people think they don't know anything about business management, but if you're willing to study, you'll quickly realize that you do know quite a bit. In order to succeed at work, you must first understand what motivates you. What makes you tick? Why do you wake up every morning? What keeps you going through all the stress and pressure of life? Once you figure out why you do what you do, then you can start working towards making those things better.

It's not just about the money. There are many reasons why someone would choose to become self employed. For some, it's because they enjoy being their own boss. Others may prefer to work independently so they can set their own hours. Some like the flexibility of having their own schedule. Whatever the case may be, becoming self employed means taking control of your future.

Providing Constructive Criticism to Employees

The first step in providing constructive criticism is to identify what needs improvement. This may seem like a simple task but it’s often difficult because people don’t want to hear negative feedback. They might feel they’ve done something wrong or that the person giving them the feedback doesn’t know anything about their work. If you do decide to provide constructive criticism, try not to focus too much on the negatives. Instead, focus on the positives. For example, if you notice that someone has made mistakes in the past, ask them how they plan to improve next time. Or, if you see that a particular area of weakness is causing problems for others, explain why this is important so that they understand the impact of their actions. 

Provide Feedback to Your Team Members. Once you’ve identified areas where improvements could be made, give your team members specific examples of what you noticed. Don’t just say “you did a bad job”; instead, describe exactly what went wrong and offer suggestions for how they can fix it. Be sure to include any positive aspects of their performance.

Tips on How to Give Constructive Criticism

The first step is to identify what you like about the person. This will help you avoid criticizing something they don't care about. For example, if you're talking about their appearance, it's better to say "You look great today" than "Your face looks terrible." If you want to criticize them, focus on one thing at a time. It's easier to give constructive criticism if you keep things simple.

Next, think about why you feel this way. Is it because they did something wrong? Did they do something right but not enough? Was it just bad luck? Or maybe you dislike them because they remind you of someone else who was mean to you. Whatever the reason, try to understand where it comes from before deciding whether or not to share your thoughts. The first step in giving constructive criticism is to identify what needs improvement. This means being specific and clear about what it is you want to see changed. For example, if you notice that someone has trouble following through on assignments, say so directly rather than saying something like “I don’t think you did enough work this week.”

If you find yourself getting frustrated by a colleague’s lack of progress, try not to take things personally. Instead, focus on the task at hand. Ask yourself whether you could do better, then ask yourself why you might not be able to. It may help to write down your thoughts.

Conclusion

If you want your employees to improve, then constructive criticism is one of the best ways to go about doing so. This article provides some great tips on how to provide effective feedback to your team members. When providing feedback to your employees, make sure you are being as specific as possible. It's easy to give vague feedback, but when you're trying to help someone improve, you need to be more direct with what needs to change. Don't just say "you should work harder" or "I think you should try something new." Instead, tell them exactly what you mean by those statements. Be clear about what you expect from them and why.

Feedback is not always positive. Sometimes it may feel like you're criticizing your employee, which could lead to defensiveness or resentment. Try to avoid this situation by making sure you're giving honest feedback. While you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, you do want to encourage growth and improvement. Make sure you're focusing on areas where they can grow rather than things that aren't working well.

Employee Work Schedules

How often should employees get paid? Should they get paid every week or once a month? Is it better to pay weekly or biweekly? The answer to these questions depends on the type of employee you have. If you are a salaried worker, then you should receive your salary at least twice a year. On the other hand, hourly workers usually get their wages only once a month. Learn more: https://blog.hirenest.com/employee-work-schedules-youll-encounter-as-an-hr-manager-this-2022/

There are pros and cons to each schedule. For example, paying salaries weekly allows managers to plan ahead and budget accordingly. On the other hand, biweekly payments allow employees to save some cash during the slow months.

In addition to the financial advantages, there are many other reasons why employers prefer to pay monthly rather than weekly. First, it saves money by reducing payroll processing costs. Second, it makes it easier for employees to manage their finances since they don't have to worry about missing out on any paychecks. Third, it helps reduce the risk of fraud because it's harder to commit identity theft if you're not receiving checks from your employer. Fourth, it gives employees more flexibility in managing their personal lives. They can spend less time worrying about whether they'll miss work due to illness or family emergencies. And finally, it encourages people to stay longer at their jobs since they won't feel like they're being penalized for taking time off. You can find out more in our article: https://blog.hirenest.com/employee-work-schedules-youll-encounter-as-an-hr-manager-this-2022/

It's important to note that this is just one way to calculate the number of hours worked per day. Other methods include dividing the total number of hours worked into two equal parts (e.g., 8 hours divided into two 4-hour shifts), or calculating the average number of hours worked per week.

What Is an Employee Work Schedule?

The employee work schedule is the number of hours worked per week by employees. It includes both paid and unpaid overtime. In general, employers must pay overtime if an employee works more than 40 hours per week. Employees who work less than 40 hours per week do not qualify for overtime pay. An employer pays overtime wages at one and half times the regular hourly rate for every hour worked beyond 40 hours in a given week. For example, if an employee earns $20 per hour, then he or she will earn $40 per hour for each hour worked above 40 hours during a particular week.

Why is a work schedule important?

A regular routine helps us feel better physically and mentally. It gives our bodies something predictable to anticipate and prepare for. It allows us to plan ahead and set aside time for things we want to do. And it makes life easier by giving us structure and predictability. If you don't like your job, then change jobs! There's always another opportunity out there somewhere. Don't let yourself become stuck at one place because you're not happy with what you're doing.

The best way to find a new job is to start looking now. Start networking with people who know people. Get referrals from friends and family members. Look online for openings in your field. Talk to recruiters if they come calling.

Types Of Work Schedules

What kind of schedule would you prefer? Are you someone who likes to plan ahead or does spontaneity rule your life?

There are two types of schedules: fixed and variable. Fixed means you have a specific time slot every day where you perform certain activities. Variable means you don't have a specific time slot each day. Instead, you decide when you want to get things done.

Fixed schedules are great because they give you structure and predictability. They also allow you to focus on tasks that require high concentration. On the other hand, variable schedules are flexible and allow you to take advantage of opportunities that arise throughout the day.

The most common type of work schedule is called a "9–5" job. This means you start at 9 AM and finish at 5 PM. If you're lucky enough to have a flexible schedule, you might be able to choose different hours. For example, if you like working out after lunch, you could set aside one hour from 12–1 PM. Or maybe you'd rather do some writing during your commute home. Whatever works best for you! 

Conclusion

Employee work schedules are often complicated by the fact that employees may need to take time off during the week. This makes it difficult to plan out when certain tasks should be completed. It also creates problems with scheduling meetings and appointments. A calendar system can help solve both of those issues. Calendars allow people to schedule events and appointments. They also make it easier to keep track of what needs to be done each day.

The most common type of calendar used today is paper-based. Paper calendars are easy to set up and print out. They are also cheap to produce. However, they do not offer many features beyond tracking dates and times. For example, they cannot easily be shared with others. They also require space to store them. If you want something more advanced than a simple paper calendar, you will need to look at software solutions. These programs usually come in two forms. Desktop applications run on computers. Web-based services operate from a web browser. Both types of solutions provide similar functionality.

There are several different types of calendars available. Some are designed specifically for business purposes. Others are geared towards personal use. Business calendars are useful if you manage a team of employees. They allow you to share information among all members of your organization. Personal calendars are helpful if you want to organize your life. They let you see everything going on in your life at once.
