ISVís Fastpath Online further developed

to allow full simulated software functionality within Flash based Web experience

ISV beats technology challenge to provide recruiters with fast and complete web-based candidate testing & assessments

ISV Group, the UK technology training company, has announced that it has overcome one of the recruitment industryís biggest technical challenges for online Web testing and assessments: the combination of full functionality and high-speed downloads. Unlike other software vendors in this space, ISV uses Flash* programming for its Fastpath Online Web assessment and testing software. Flash programmes and Web sites are found throughout the Internet, because Flash offers users a fast download experience and smooth rendering of graphics. The continual development of Fastpath Online by ISV now means that users can experience full functionality, including the ability to use and be assessed for right mouse click functions when using simulation tests and assessments for applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access.

Managing Director of ISV Group, Laurie Dobson, comments, ìThis is a major breakthrough for recruiters using online testing and assessments. More than 90% of Web users have access to Flash player, so almost any candidate can be tested from their own home using just a 56Kbps modem. In such a typical environment, download time for Fastpath Online take a matter of 14 seconds, which is almost instantaneous when compared to non-Flash products from other vendors which can takes as long as 20 minutes. The combination of Flash-based programming and full software simulation means that recruiters can now provide the optimum experience for Web-based tests as well as more accurate assessments, safe in the knowledge that candidates are challenged by the tests alone, and not by the technology behind them.î
