Applicant Screening
Are you overwhelmed by the volume of applicants you are receiving for each of your open jobs? Is it taking up too much of your valuable time trying to identify the most suitable applicants? Are other companies getting to the best applicants before you have managed to review their CV’s?
Allen Recruitment Consulting can provide you a quick cost effective applicant screening service that will let you quickly identify the most suitable applicants for you jobs. We have been successfully screening applicants since 1998 and can help you get to that top talent before your competitors do.
How does this work?
We provide you with a web link through which all applicants apply for your job. You include this web link in your job advertisements on job boards and/or traditional print and on your web site. This will bring the applicant to a web page which gives them details of your job and the application process.
Applicants will:
- Enter their personal details.
- Attach a CV and cover letter.
- Complete a set of screening questions based on your requirements.
- Complete an assessment to establish the applicants’ job fit for your role. We do this by asking screening questions which have been developed over years of screening applicants for numerous different role types. Based on each applicant’s responses and your specific job requirements we give each applicant a job fit score.
- Complete an online skills test based on the skills required for your job to establish the applicants skills fit. We have over 200 skills tests that cover everything from accounting, clerical, customer service, engineering, industrial, medical, retail, technical (Java, SQL Server, Linux etc) and computer skills (MS Word, Excel etc). Based on each applicant’s results they are given a skills test score.
We combine the scores from the Screening Questions, Job Fit assessment and Skills Fit test to give an overall application screening score. The applicant’s details, overall score and their results for each individual assessment are available for you to review online or can be outputted for upload to your Applicant Tracking System or we can email them to you. We will happily answer any queries you have on each application.
