[quote user="HRBaby"] Do you think I should recommend using a 3rd party to conduct the tests? For example, a company I heard of called experttraining ? [/quote] That's not really necessary for skills testing so much as ensuring that the test is equi…

[quote user="HRBaby"] I'm concerned with the consistency of the questions being asked. Also, the results could be subjective because there's an actual person giving the test, rather than a software or system. I think they do it to save money on b…

Paying for nothing is usually a bad business proposition. One could say you are buying loyalty and good will, but I think you are really just asking for abuse of the payroll budget. It will lead to overtime, eventually. Of course, you could get i…
