The Hindu BusinessLine publishes an article penned by Venkatraman Umakanth, Business Head of HireMee (of The Sona Group)
In his article for The Hindu Businessline titled “Right Assessments Key in War for Talent”, Venkatraman Umakanth, Business Head of HireMee (of The Sona Group) lays stress on the fact that finding the right candidate for a job role needs the assessment of both hard and soft skills.
“While the expertise level on domain and technical skills can be identified from the individual’s degree (undergraduate or postgraduate) and certifications, the rest is best evaluated using appropriate assessments. In my personal experience, I have come across several instances where candidates are chosen based on their domain competency but fall woefully short because of poor communication and collaboration skills. Therefore, A holistic assessment of candidates is key to determining the fitment against specific job roles. The success mantra would be in choosing the right set of assessments depending on the job role, experience level, and of course, the right assessment partner,” writes Venkatraman.
Hiring a suitable candidate is crucial for organizations to enhance their business reach. Choosing the right assessment is the key element in evaluating candidate performance effectively.
