In 2022 Gary Benedik, president of Arch Advisory Group, realized that there was an urgent need to find a better way to assess and evaluate candidates at scale.
At the time, he and his team followed the following process:
Screening interviews and resumes assisted recruiters in identifying highly suitable candidates, but he realized there was a need to evaluate the candidate’s real-world skills better.
What problems were they facing?
Arch Advisory Group screened and processed numerous candidates, upwards of 80+ every month, for mid to senior-level roles across a plethora of industries.
This meant interviewing and assessing numerous resumes and subjectively comparing each candidate based on what Arch’s end-client needed.
The challenge was to find the best people for their clients. Not only to interview potential candidates, but to validate the skills they had on the resume/CV were, in fact, accurate.
But how could they tell if a candidate had the necessary technical skills to fill a high-tech role?
The more technical the role, the more complex the field, and it was harder to know if they had the technical skills for a job role.
Gary sought a more reliable method of evaluating candidates and comparing their skills.
The Solution
Gary started using Testlify after he signed up for a free trial. He explored the platform and soon decided to use it in his recruitment process.
He quickly realized he could improve his recruitment process in the following ways:
Once a candidate was approved, they were sent a Testlify assessment to complete.
The results of those assessments were then handed over to the hiring manager with the candidate’s resume and any other information.
This gave hiring managers a broader array of information and deeper insights to help them select the best candidates.
How did Testlify improve the hiring process?
Arch Advisory Group used Testify to enhance their hiring process by integrating it into their workflow.
The assessments offered the hiring managers more reliable and accurate evaluations of candidates, not only for technical skills but also for vital skillsets like cognitive ability and role-specific tests.
This offered valuable insights for hiring managers to compare candidates in a standardized way.
