KTester & CyberProctor - a Savior in current economic downtrend
In the current economic downturn and in the long run, a major solution will come by being able to select quality candidates willing to accept cost effective packages by increasing the geographical spread of selection to Tier II and Tier III & IV cities.
This will increase the supply base of candidates significantly - in fact take the selection process to any house that has a talented candidate in any part of the country.
Since before selection, a shortlisted candidate can be tested on several platforms- at different times, from his home - it will increase rate of success on-job and reduce training needs as well as decrease employee turnover rate thereby significantly reducing HR and operational costs while enhancing efficiency.
As companies are concentrated in and around main cities, due to the time and travel costs involved in shortlisting applicants from locations away from city hubs, their non-manegirial work force is largely drawn from a small catchment area. Apart from this, the logistics of informing, inviting and physically testing the prospective candidates in cities , limit the selection process to an unfortunately smaller domain of talents.
