Client Services

 

Testing & Benchmarking

 

Any client who has entrusted A for Appointments to search for a prospective employee can be assured that each applicant will be selected on the basis of their skills test, if this is relevant to the post being offered. The excellent system we use offers the ability to select and identify the most talented candidates. With over 800 validated assessments for clerical, software, call centre, financial, healthcare, industrial, legal and technical job classifications we are able to gain a competitive advantage when testing and training.

 

The tests simulate desktop applications or any area of work in which our clients operate. The validated assessments can also be used in connection with our clients to benchmark their existing staff and set a clear level of skill required in the company.

 

In addition, we are able to offer learning tools in the shape of various tutorials to our candidates. We are also able to offer these to our clients in connection with the benchmarking facility to develop staff.
