Resumes often form the basis of hiring decisions today. The problem with this method is that a resume cannot possibly contain the information you really need to make accurate decisions – and the abundance of mediocre employees proves it. Isn't it true that if good hiring decisions could be made just from resumes – wouldn't every company have only the best employees? Getting the best employees requires that other tools be added to the process. A tool that has been well tested and continues to deliver the best is a Skills Survey. This tool enables you to assess your candidates with greater precision, removes much the guesswork and possibly even some of the favoritism that may also be present in the hiring process. The Skills Survey was developed by Patrick Ropella, an executive recruiter of 25 years who has been providing top talent to many mega-corporations. These companies include such household names as Dow, Johnson & Johnson, DuPont, BASF, Shell, GE, Pfizer, and more, and they continue to use his services when they need more top positions filled. This eBook, Developing a Skills Survey for Better Candidate Screening, shows you how to use the Skills Survey to be able to fill in many gaps that resumes typically leave unanswered. It will also enable you to view the candidates on a more level playing field – making the choice of selecting the best talent that much easier for your hiring team.Providing your team with a highly customizable tool is only part of what you need to make the best decisions. You are also shown how to decipher the information you obtain from the Survey, and given a number of tips to improve your interview process. Altogether, this valuable information will help you to assess and hire that top talent you need to take your company forward to success.
