Event Information
Traditional hiring assessments aim to identify “high-potential” candidates—but they often miss the mark when it comes to delivering high quality candidates. In this session, we’ll explore why aptitude tests alone don’t guarantee strong interviews or great hires—and how Job Simulations offer a more practical, effective way to find candidates who are aligned to your business.
Join us to hear how replacing assessments with Job Sims saves time, improves candidate quality, and gives hiring managers what they really need: people who understand the work.
Participants Will Hear
- Why aptitude tests often fall short when it comes to real-world job fit
- How Job Sims help candidates show they can do the work—and talk about it with confidence
- The time-saving benefit for hiring managers and recruiters
- How one company saw stronger alignment and better interviews after making the switch
