HiringBranch with Skill Assessment Implementation Leads to 400% Reduction in Bad Hire Rate.
At HiringBranch, we focus on delivering performance for our customers, and as a result have done that successfully. To be recognized for the value we’re creating for hiring teams is unbelievably rewarding. Being a finalist in the eAssessment Awards is a huge honour for the entire HiringBranch team.
Mercer | Mettl with Mercer | Mettl & Sky Italy's Butterfly Project
The Butterfly project serves as a compelling example of how new technologies can be placed in the human context, enhancing and accelerating work, rather than replacing humans. Moreover, the adoption of a people-centric approach that aligns with the needs, capabilities, and aspirations of individuals has enabled human achievement. In the post-pandemic era, several macroeconomic factors are impacting the world of work, and work practices are being reinvented. Mercer’s latest Global Talent Trends report suggests that three out of five executives believe that jobs, rather than individuals, should be made redundant, and employees expect their company to redeploy them if their role is eliminated. These facts underscore the importance of talent insights and enhanced predictive capabilities. As Mercer, we wholeheartedly agree with such findings. In fact, we firmly believe that the productivity equation can be solved through the strategic utilization of AI, assessment tools, and innovative work design.
telc gGmbH with Empowering EU Talents: Comprehensive Digital Language Assessments
In our pursuit of excellence, we have invested significant resources and effort to innovate and refine our e-assessment capabilities. Being shortlisted with our project for the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) resonates deeply with our shared vision with the European Union to make language assessment more accessible and thus open up new opportunities for individuals in terms of migration, integration, personal and professional growth. This recognition fuels our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in support of our mission. We are grateful for this opportunity, and it encourages us to move forward, knowing that our work contributes to a world where languages build bridges between people and cultures.
