Brainbench the global leader in online skills measurement, Perform Information & Communication Technology Company (PerformICT), and AlHoshan Consultants today announced a partnership to deliver to the Middle East client base the Brainbench suite of skills assessments.
Focused on helping its corporate customers find and hire the highest quality candidates, the partnership improves the candidate pipeline, accelerates the hiring process and optimizes a candidate's time to productivity. The partnership delivers these benefits by providing objective measurement of the candidate and their skills ensuring that employers hire those candidates who truly are the best fit.
'Using an objective platform to assess and measure interest, attitude, and skills will ensure that the right person is hired for the right job,' said AlHoshan Consultants CEO, Omar AlHoshan. 'For this reason, we are excited that best business practices, technology, and local knowledge and experience have partnered to avail to the local market Brainbench's deep breadth of skills tests that compliment the Human Resource initiatives in the region.'
According to Mike Russiello, CEO of Brainbench, 'Two of three new hires will disappoint in the first year and 95 of 100 applicants will 'exaggerate' to get a job. For this reason, it is important that companies select and invest in the right candidates from the start for their company's success. This partnership allows companies to do just this, by providing them with objective measurement of the job candidates' knowledge and aptitudes, helping employers identify those candidates with the best possible fit into their organizations.'
With this partnership, the three companies have integrated Brainbench skills tests into a localized offering where assessments are available in many languages including Arabic.
The Brainbench library includes assessments covering over 1400 skills across all facets of operation, from IT to administration, management, health, and industry knowledge.
Online delivery enables candidates to take skills assessment at any time, from any location. In addition, the results detail the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate's skills and are immediately available eliminating weeks of grading and scoring associated with manual assessment processes.
