Testing candidates and even existing employees for programming skills and other IT skills is a task assigned to recruiters, HR, and small business owners. That very process borders on the ridiculous if not idiocy. The problem with this practice is that computer skills testing without the proper background is like interviewing a candidate whose only language is completely foreign to you. Programming language is another language just like Spanish, French, Farsi, and Mandarin to name a few. If you can’t speak it, you don’t understand a word the other person is saying.
Here’s a more better way
Confused by PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C#, Python? If you don’t “speak” these languages, how can you screen candidates? eSkill IT & programming skills tests offer you an easy to use, affordable solution. Instead of passing unqualified applicants on to the IT manager, why not screen out the inexperienced candidate and refer only the qualified candidate? Not only is that a sign that your screening process is working but it’s your job!
Stop being awed by candidates who list a bunch of acronyms on their resumes but haven’t a clue how to actually apply them. Stop hiring the novice programmer when you need employees with more advanced skills. Stop wasting managers’ time by referring them applicants who can’t meet minimum requirements.
Use eSkill, an online skill assessment test service that allows recruiters to test for programming, application and web development proficiency before you spend a lot of time screening and interviewing the candidate. eSkill programming & IT skills tests measure real, job-related skills from ASP to XML. eSkill also tests for Microsoft Office skills including Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, Hardware & Networking, and Operating System and Internet Browsers.
