Hirint prepares a test of soft skills together with Infojobs

Although Human Resources departments usually evaluate CVs to assess a candidate’s ability to apply for a job, there are other factors that are increasingly taken into account: soft skills.

InfoJobs goes one step further in its goal of helping companies find the best talent and it does so through its new skills test. It does so hand in hand with Hirint, a company that offers a platform for assess and identify competencies of the candidates. The new service is now available at ePreset (InfoJobs’ selection process manager) that allows human resources professionals to measure the different skills (soft skills) of candidates, such as communication skills, teamwork, planning, initiative or leadership, among others.

How does the ePreselec skills test work? The first step is to access ePreselec and go to the menu. Right in this section appears the option to “Send skills test” to the candidate. This invitation to the test can be sent at any time during the selection process and to the candidates that the recruiter wants.

Once the candidate has answered the questions, a label will be displayed in the ePreselec list to indicate to the recruiter that they can consult the results.

When consulting the results, the recruiter will be able to see a report with the evaluation of 20 competencies, which will be accompanied by a description based on the score obtained.

What are the advantages of this skills test?

  1. Get to know the candidates better: having this information will allow the recruiter to get the most out of the face-to-face interview.
  2. Reduce employee turnover: this test helps determine if the candidate is a good fit for the position and thus, the time spent in the company may increase.
  3. Create bias-free processes: the test algorithms do not know gender, race or age, they are only based on the information that the candidate has answered.
  4. Improve the candidate experience: the test is very easy to take and by doing so, the candidate will receive a feedback report, always positive. According to Hirint data, the satisfaction of the candidates after taking the test is 97%.
