Candidate screening is one of the most demanding and least favorite tasks of recruitment specialists. It is often very time-consuming, and requires a high degree of expertise in candidate evaluation.
Reading a CV and interviewing an applicant is no longer enough for hiring the right person. Companies that realize this now place more emphasis on pre-selection using screening.
They use a variety of psychological tests and questionnaires to help them discover the candidates' personal characteristics, assess their qualities and talent, and predict performance and motivation. Alternatively, they also hire external experts who do the screening for them.
However, the development of new technologies based on automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning brings many solutions that can significantly speed up and improve the pre-selection of candidates. Recruiters can thus gain more time for personal communication with managers and with candidates who really meet the required criteria.
