Assessment tests are one of the fool-proof ways of shortlisting the right candidates at a campus recruitment drive. These assessment tests evaluate the students for their subject knowledge, aptitude and other skills, and the selected candidates then move on to the interview rounds for further evaluation. Typically, the HR conducts two to three rounds of objective and subjective tests which comprise aptitude, reasoning, or logical questions, verbal reasoning questions and subject-specific questions. This helps them to identify the potential candidates who can be interviewed and recruited into the company based on their performance.
Assessment tests are either designed by the hiring company in-house with the help of its internal teams or outsourced to a third party company based on their requirement. The tests created by the third-party are generic, focusing more on evaluating the general skills such as English, aptitude and problem-solving ability of the students, unless and until specified by the recruiting company to add subject-related questions as well. These tests are meant for basic-level screening and cannot completely test the students for their subject expertise and other skills. For a more comprehensive evaluation, it is necessary to create self-prepared question bank since it provides an opportunity to align questions with the skill sets desired by the interviewers or the recruiters and assess students for them before shortlisting candidates for hire.
If you are a recruiting firm seeking an opinion on creating your own assessment tests package with specific questions to test the candidates’ knowledge in a detailed manner, read till the end of this blog post as we walk you through the advantages of doing so.
Advantages of Having Your Own Question Bank
In a campus recruitment drive, if you carry your own question bank rather than depending on some third-party agencies to prepare them, you will spend less time filtering candidates appearing in various rounds; you will target the right set of candidates and shortlist the top performers quickly and efficiently. Discussed below are the advantages of creating your question banks while visiting a college for conducting a campus recruitment drive.
In a nutshell
It is important for the recruiters to not completely bank on third-party assessment tests when they seeking candidates with specific skill sets for the job profile. In such a situation, creating their own question bank comes handy in evaluating the candidates better and shortlisting only the right ones for the interview round. This saves a lot of time for the HR as well as the interviewer since they will only have to focus on assessing the shortlisted candidates further and make a final call on hiring them.
