Skillsarena today announced its strategic relationship with Effectivate, the software and services company, which will help employers accurately predict a candidateís suitability for any job role.
The relationship will enable the companies to partner on a case-by-case basis, as required by their clients. It will couple Skillsarenaís online testing facilities with the multi-media assessment solutions of Effectivateís Savvy recruitment software, to enable in depth candidate profiling of both skills and personality traits.
The combination of products from Skillsarena and Effectivate offers a more dependable approach to individual assessment than traditional interview methods, and will enable both companies to exceed client requirements and offer a more complete recruitment solution.
Jonathan Oldershaw, Business Development Manager at Skillsarena, believes the relationship is a major step for both companies ìOur suite of online assessment tools compliments Effectivateís software. Skillsarena verifies whether someone has got the skills and knowledge to do the job while Savvy measures how well a person will perform in terms of actual work skills and psychometric traits, such as their ability to manage stressful situations. Skillsarena are delighted to have been chosen to provide the hard skills element and we look forward to working together and delivering this powerful tool to companies keen to improve their recruitment and people development strategies.î
Tim Hodder, Managing Director at Effectivate, believes that the partnership will bring considerable savings to their clientís recruitment processes.
ìThe difference between having the right person for the job and the wrong person costs organisations thousands of pounds each year. We would expect clients to see a clear return on investment using Skillsarena and Savvy. I look forward to the avenues this partnership will create for 2004 and beyond.î
Skillsarena and Effectivate started working together in August 2004.
