Emerging approaches to candidate evaluation include creating on-line simulations of key job tasks in a Web 2.0 environment. By completing an on-line work sample, candidates learn a great deal about the job and are in a better position to decide if the job is right for them. Over 90% of candidates completing on-line work samples state they will tell others about the opportunity based upon the positive nature of the application process. On-line job tryouts provide recruiters with objective data which evaluates a candidate’s job relevant competencies. This data improves the quality of the hiring decision. Recruiters using on-line work samples are able to document the return on investment from their staffing process through monitoring new hire performance. Companies using on-line work samples have seen performance gains across a wide range of business outcomes such as increased sales, improved brand promise delivery, higher training success rates, increased retention and reductions in staffing waste.
