Source candidates

To be successful in sourcing talent, you must utilize the right channels to find the best candidates. Building a talent pool will save an amazing amount of time when finding suitable candidates.

3

Keep your sourced candidates engaged

The next step is to keep your candidate engaged, as your competitor is also seeking the best talent for their organization. By maintaining consistent communication with your candidate during the hiring process, you will be able to retain their attention.

4

Evaluation Parameters to Judge Problem Solving

1

Fundamentals

In fact, this could also be applied in most of the other roles out there. To perform better, candidates need to have a firm grasp of problem solving skills fundamentals to do their best.

2

Hands-on

An individual’s skill level when performing a task in the real world is determined by how well they perform hands-on assignments within a given field. 

3

Technical Communication

Technical communication is vital in terms of individual work as well as collaborative work between members of a team. Thus, it is one of the most essential evaluative criteria in our problem solving skills assessment test for hiring.

4

Code Quality

High-quality code makes it easier for teams to collaborate on comments, proper indentation, clear notation, and simplicity of flow. This way, high-quality code becomes easier to read, modify, and edit. Therefore, it plays an important role in every candidate’s evaluation.

5

Code Plagiarism

When hiring problem solvers, plagiarism is one of the strict no-nos. If a problem solver cannot use logic, creativity, and imagination to analyze and develop suitable solutions to organizational situations independently, then there is no point in putting them on large-scale projects.

6

Problem Solving Aptitude

Undoubtedly, problem solvers, at their core, are instrumental to the growth of an organization. Therefore, when a problem arises, they must be able to solve it naturally. 

7

Productivity in each Skills

Hiring a problem solver with good skills but poor productivity is not beneficial. Regardless of their skill level, such a person will negatively impact the project’s completion rate.

8

Rank / Precentile Among Others

9

Attitude / Team Work
