It used to be you had to make a choice between your
own productivity and the quality of your hires. Now with
TalentScout from MCS, you can cut pre-employment testing time
in half and get more in-depth analysis of an applicant’s job-specific competencies.
SkillCheck TalentScout is a revolutionary new testing solution that enables you to determine, with a single test and in half the time
required by traditional testing, whether a job applicant has the knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors needed to be successful in
particular position. Using advanced testing technologies such as computer adaptive testing (CAT) and performance-based interactive
simulations, TalentScout gives you the most information about a candidate in the least amount of time.
TalentScout is a revolutionary new testing system that allows you to determine if a job candidate has all of the skills needed for a job in a single, fast, efficient, accurate assessment. Using TalentScout, you can, in half the time of traditional testing, determine if a candidate has the knowledge, skills and abilities to handle a job.
By making use of computer adaptive testing (CAT) and other advanced testing technologies, TalentScout can shrink test time in your office by more than 50%. This means more candidates can be tested in the same number of hours (saving you the cost of additional testing computers). It also means that testing can take a smaller share of the recruitment process, giving you more time for in-depth interviewing of candidates or more time for in depth testing on additional important skills. How much more efficient and effective would your service be if you could promise job candidates that they could get through the entire screening process in under an hour? How many more candidates could you recruit and place? How much faster could you get candidates into jobs? The revolutionary new TalentScout system brings these and other benefits to your staffing organization.
A TalentScout exam can provide you with more information about a candidate’s abilities in a shorter amount of time.
TalentScout makes use of computer adaptive testing (CAT) which allows a test to adapt or change based on a candidate’s response to a particular question. Using adaptive testing, a candidate’s skill level can be determined in the shortest amount of time. TalentScout also bundles all of the most job-critical assessments into a single TalentScout test to create a broader profile of a candidate with all inter-related skills required for the job.
An adaptive test automatically mimics a wise examiner who asks questions based on test takers’ responses. Specifically, if an examiner asks a question that is too difficult for the test taker, the next question asked should be easier. If the question turns out to be too easy, a more difficult question should be asked. We learn more when we accurately direct our questions at the same level as the test taker’s proficiency.
