Igloo RPO announces launch of new online skills testing service

Igloo RPO is pleased to addition of online testing to its service portfolio.

As a service provider, Igloo RPO already offers a markedly different and beneficial service to technology customers throughout the UK. Working as a fully managed recruitment service provider to technology businesses and companies hiring IT staff, Igloo becomes each end-clientís recruitment department.

Until now, Igloo has used a variety of methods to attract, and select the right individuals for each of its clients. These include unrivalled advertising coverage, use of the latest interview and selection approaches, psychometric assessment and assessment days where appropriate.

In response to a growing number of requests Igloo has now also put in place online skills and ability testing which enables benchmarking against existing staff in literally hundreds of different areas. In addition to being used as another aspect of the selection process, the service can also be used to accurately pinpoint training and development needs in potential, new and long-standing members of staff.

As well as technical tests on the development, administration and support skills for vast majority of major technologies, the service also enables testing on a wide-range of workplace skills and tasks.

Another benefit of the service being available online is its cost-efficiency. With traditional testing services requiring implementation on-site, the costs associated with licensing and maintaining such services could not always be justified by smaller businesses and those with staff based in multiple locations.

With the online system it is possible for Igloo to offer smaller businesses access to a wide range of very powerful testing tools without the price barrier and minimum spend associated with traditional skills testing.
