Candidate Assessment

Rigorous and Predictive Science

Not all assessments are the same. Just because an assessment can tell you about someone's traits or capabilities does not mean that it is useful for identifying actual job fit and their potential to be a great employee.

Rigorous science is a defining feature of this automotive retail assessment. This assessment system has been customized and configured to provide validated assessments for specific automotive retail positions. We've calibrated each assessment in this offering to identify and predict the competencies needed to become a top performer. Longstanding problems with staffing shortages and chronic turnover have left automotive retail dealerships exposed financially and operationally. Simply put, using science-based tools to hire smarter leads to improved performance, lower turnover, and increased profitability. The only way to identify and predict performance before a hiring decision is made, is to include a validated assessment as part of a robust sourcing and recruiting process.

Predictions based on our assessments are more accurate because our approach is based on validated science across the automotive retail industry. Assess and manage with confidence! Make informed decisions. Hire stronger performers. Get the most out of your talent.

Realistic depictions of automotive retail job environments

During the assessment, candidates are presented with an engaging role-playing activity that immerses them within an automotive dealership environment and work scenario. The inclusion of these high-fidelity scenarios presents candidates with a preview of what it is like working within your organization - something a typical job description cannot do. Science also tells us that presenting assessment questions in a specific automotive retail job-related context can improve the ultimate utility of information contained in candidates' responses to those questions. In other words, presenting visual automotive scenarios improves your ability to understand how potential candidates will behave when working for you.

Engaging candidate experience

The assessment combines several different testing protocols during the assessment, and utilizes advanced response gathering technologies such as visual slider bars. These features keep candidates focused and engaged, eliminating user fatigue that leads to response rut and other data integrity problems. Candidates completing our assessments typically finish within 15-20 minutes, and we regularly see > 90% completion rates!

Mobility

Your automotive retail assessment system adapts to any mobile device so the user experience is seamless on any PC, tablet, or mobile device. Research shows that business-related text messages are read, on average, a mere 90 seconds after receipt!

With people touching their phone around 2,600 times per day (including tapping, scrolling, and typing), texting is an ultra-efficient way to reach people. With this in mind, our system also allows companies to send assessment invitations by text making it easier and faster for candidates to complete an assessment. And, since texting is native to every cell phone, candidates can connect anytime, anywhere. This SMS texting feature raises the bar for candidate-friendly assessment applications.
