    With low unemployment and job skills evolving, competition for top talent remains a key challenge for organizations across industries and geographies, particularly the need to improve quality of hire.

    Companies are seeking help from multiple resources and tools, including assessments, the best of which utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to enable better decision making in recruiting, hiring and bottom-line business outcomes.

    The latest study from Aptitude Research Partners shows that by using assessments, companies are four times more likely to improve quality of hire and three times more likely to improve retention, leading to measurable cost savings and increased productivity.

    Organizations using best-practices in talent acquisition are beating their competition and growing their revenue faster.

    Keeping up in today’s hyper-competitive world means more than what many leaders may realize, meaning without the use of AI, an improved candidate experience, and processes that drive business results, their companies are bound to fall behind.

    New research will be revealed to help you:

    • Understand key trends impacting today’s best assessment practices
    • Address challenges in the competitive landscape that make great hiring hard to achieve
    • Lay out steps that leading companies take to leverage predictive analytics assessments
    • Source the best tools and processes for improving recruitment efforts
    • Develop a plan to implement predictive analytics for strategic talent acquisition success

    The demand for pre-assessments has never been greater. According to the latest study from Aptitude Research, companies have steadily increased their investment in assessments over the past three years.

    As organizations face mounting pressure to compete for talent across industries and improve quality of hire, assessments enable organizations to make better decisions around talent and improve business outcomes.

    In fact, companies that invest in assessment are four times more likely to improve quality of hire and three times more likely to improve retention.

    The assessment landscape has dramatically changed over the past few years. In order to keep up, companies need to start shifting the way they think about assessments and invest in partners that will ensure validity, truly understand and implement AI, improve the candidate experience, and most importantly, drive business outcomes.

    In this webinar, Madeline Laurano (LinkedIn profile) Co-Founder & Chief Research Officer, Aptitude Research Partners will present the new research, that examines the key trends impacting assessments today and highlights how leading companies are leveraging assessments to improve recruitment efforts.
