Staffing process expert Mr. Murphyís IPMA-HR Conference presentation: Job Tryouts Go Virtual, will share examples of best in class candidate experiences that allow applicants to take the job for a test drive while demonstrating their capabilities and sharing past work experiences that predict on-the job performance. No resume needed.
Today's candidates are digital natives and thrive in multi-media experiences that are based upon a two way exchange of information. 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.
The Annual International Public Management Association Assessment Council Conference in Oakland, CA June 8-11, 2008 will feature Joseph P. Murphy, vice president of Shaker Consulting Group on Tuesday June 10th at 3:00 PM
