Employee/candidate assessment

The performance and productivity of an employee depends on several factors and their interaction. The task of the manager is to recruit those employees who are most productive in their work and will potentially co-operate in long-term, thus bringing profit for the company. Managers cannot risk by concluding that an employee is not suitable for the job only when the trial period comes to an end: this must be predicted already when recruiting the employee, otherwise more company resources will be spent for seeking new employees.

Job interview is only a part of the wide scope of methods for assessing candidates. The need for using other methods depends on the job specifics. Nevertheless, the most comprehensive assessment of candidates can be acquired by using a complex combination of methods that evaluate most of those employee’s traits and skills which affect his or her work performance.
