From cherry searching to cherry picking

When we talk to recruiters - that are recruiting online marketing professionals - they often tell us; “I have so many tasks nowadays, it is hard to find the time to read and file all application letters and CVs”, and “As digital roles are getting more and more complex, it is difficult for me to review applicants on their digital knowledge and skill level”.

Pre-selection

What can recruiters do to overcome these problems? Simple! Have applicants qualify themselves first, before they’re allowed to send in their applications. How? Via an online marketing pre-selection test. If the applicant’s test score isn’t good enough - something you as a recruiter determine for yourself - the applicant is not allowed to proceed to the next step in your recruitment process; he/she isn’t allowed to send in his or her resume and motivation, or to fill out the digital application form.

No more sifting through tons of CVs

So you cherry pick only the candidates with the appropriate knowledge and skill set for the job you’re recruiting for. This way of working saves you time on sifting through tons of application letters and CVs, on sending lots of rejection letters or emails and on doing too much interviews without any results. Thus making your recruitment process much more efficient; saving you time and money!

Inbound testing

Sqillzer can help you with your pre-selection testing of online marketing professionals. We call it ‘Inbound Testing’. It works like this:

1. You compile a relevant test - consisting of multiple of the more than 900 online marketing related questions we have in our database - for the job your are recruiting for

2. You integrate the test in your recruitment website or webpage

3. Visitors who want to apply for the job take the test

4. You cherry pick the candidates that have the appropriate knowledge and skills level and check only their CVs

If it all adds up to a positive image, you invite only these cherry picked candidates for a job interview. Inbound testing: from cherry searching to cherry picking.
