In a traditional paper intensive hiring practice, you may receive hundreds of applications and resumes for ONE<\/strong> job posting! I can remember after holding a day long Job Fair for a Call Center I would sit at my desk with the immense PILE of applications and began the ‘sorting process’.\u00a0 Anything we could think of as a way of saying NOPE<\/strong> – that one goes into the NO<\/strong> Pile!!<\/p>\n

Are you sorting your employment applications into the \u2018NO\u2019<\/b> pile based on spelling errors, grammatical errors, or other mistakes?<\/p>\n

Do you spend time reading the resumes only to find at the bottom of the page they don\u2019t have the required experience of skills?<\/p>\n

Are you reviewing resumes that are three pages long (or longer) and so full of \u2018stuff\u2019 that it makes you say “Get to the point already”?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Would you rather sort the applications on whether the applicant values honesty and integrity?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or the person desires to be of service and support to others \u2013 who wants to be the Director of First Impressions<\/i><\/span>?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Or even the person who is dependable, punctual and will fulfill the requirements of the job?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How about sorting the stack of resumes based on who is positive even in the face of difficulties and challenges and is a problem solver?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you looking for someone who brings high energy and enthusiasm to work, wants to be highly productive and is DRIVEN to do quality?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our pre-employment assessment tool, TargetSketch\u2122<\/b><\/em> makes it easy to filter out the highly qualified candidates based on their intrinsic qualities without touching paper or spending any of YOUR<\/strong> time.<\/p>\n

Candidates apply online 24\/7, and you get an easy-to-use report that provides a predictive indicator of the candidates \u201cFIT<\/strong>\u201d for the position.<\/p>\n

This state of the art enhancement to your hiring system will lower turnover, improve employee productivity, increase profits and reduce costs.
