ASE shortlisted for Best Technical Innovation in Online Recruitment at the Onrec Awards 2007

ASEís new online testing and assessment system, Testingworldwide.com, has been shortlisted in the Best Technical Innovation in Recruitment category at this yearís Onrec Awards. The online system is designed to deliver a comprehensive range of ASEís leading psychometric tests, helping clients to identify the best candidates at an early stage, whist reducing recruitment costs and timeframes. The results will be announced on Wednesday 7 March, 2007.

Launched in October 2006, Testingworldwide.com has made its presence felt in the market already, with a number of organisations moving to ASE as the preferred provider of online assessments. A wide range of ASEís most popular tests are available on the platform, including PeopleMapper; General Ability Tests 2; Executive, Management and Graduate Item Bank; and the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire.

Testingworldwide.com allows companies to schedule ASE tests at times to suit both the company and the candidates. The system offers a range of additional important capabilities, such as the ability to provide randomised item bank assessments for the sifting of executives, managers and graduates. It also includes a new technology, the Secure Test System, to ensure that a candidateís identification is verified in order to eliminate the chance of cheating.

Once candidates have completed their online test, Testingworldwide.com delivers reports directly to the designated contact at the organisation ñ quickly and securely. Testingworldwide.com can also be integrated into a clientís applicant tracking software.

Jeremy Pemberton-Pigott, ASEís Operations Director, commented: ìIntegrated online testing is increasingly becoming a central part of the modern recruitment process, and there is clear evidence that online assessment improves an organisationís ability to select suitable candidates early in the recruitment process. Online testing allows for scientific, transparent and fair methods for independent evaluation of large volumes of candidates.î

ìWe are delighted to have reached the finals of this important category. Testingworldwide.com is the result of continuous client research and feedback, and we believe it is one of the most robust and reliable online testing systems on the market, with a range of features entirely new to the industry. The positive feedback we have received from customers indicates that it fulfils an important need, particularly with the introduction of our new data forensic reporting system,î he concludes.
