Can Online Tools Like Interviewstreet and Mettl Help Pre-Screen Non-Technical Candidates?

Can Technology Services Pre-Screen Non-Technical Candidates?

The question I want to present is: can technology services like interviewstreet.com and Mettl.com be used to pre-screen candidates for non-technical roles, perhaps by developing some sort of psychometric analysis tests? Would that be useful enough?

Is anyone using any such online services? Would this add value to recruiters if they are able to get candidates pre-screened in some way? Can consultants create job-specific questionnaires to pre-screen candidates if such a service was available at nominal rates?

Hmmm... So a pre-screening test platform for non-technical profiles probably does not make that much sense. But they do work marvelously well when it comes to technical profiles. Let's see what others have to say about this. So, doing some sort of pre-screening via a written online test is not a required thing by recruiters?

I liked the way Mettl has shared its process for preventing cheating. That answers every doubt regarding its validation.

Role-Specific Assessments

Every role, right from the entry level to the junior-mid level, requires assessments. Most firms have their in-house software or buy it from Mafoi or other hiring consultancies. This will only remain specific to domain knowledge and not social or experiential learning.
