Make objective hiring decisions with assessments
The interview process is tedious, and it is important that recruiters only shortlist the best candidates for interviews. In order to do this, you will need to objectively measure every candidate’s competency.

The average cost of a bad hire is at least 30% of the individual’s first-year expected salary.
With the help of recruitment assessment tools, you can:
- Add more objectivity into your hiring process.
- Eliminate unconscious bias.
- Hire for competency.
- Test skill sets listed on a candidate’s resume.
Evaluate candidates with three categories of assessments
Candidate Assessment
Recruiters and hiring managers can evaluate applicants with preliminary assessments. After a candidate completes a questionnaire, responses are automatically saved in Zoho Recruit.
Recruiter's Assessment
Record notes about your candidates and rate their quality using the Recruiter's Assessment. This keeps all the stakeholders on board with the decisions you make about the candidate.
Interviewer's Assessment
Maintain accurate records of each conversation you've had with your candidate during the interview and evaluate their performance.
Assessing candidates with scorecards is key to eliminate implicit bias
Define ideal qualifications for each role, benchmark candidates, and ensure that all the recruiters are evaluating candidates against the same scorecard. This way you can ensure that all candidates are given the same opportunity and confidently decide who can move forward in the recruitment pipeline.

Pre-screening
Filter candidates as they apply for your roles. With pre-screening assessments, you can assign point values to each answer choice and automatically rate applicants based on their qualifications. Associate assessments with job postings or email them directly to candidates.
Behavioural screening
A good candidate should be a great fit for the role and the employees that the candidate will be working with. Measure a candidate's soft skills and gauge their fit with your company culture by using behavioural screening assessments.
Background screening
Background screening is crucial to verify if your candidates are truly who they say they are. Gain a better understanding of a candidate's employment and education history with background screening assessments.
General screening
Understand your candidate's strengths and weaknesses, as well as how they align with the long term goals of your company. Determine a candidate's overall skill set, personality, goals, and background by combining questions from all screening types.

Zoho Recruit has created a diverse set of assessment templates with a list of questions that you can use to evaluate your candidates.
