One of the biggest trends in today’s talent management software is the ability to accurately capture candidates’ critical skills for the specific jobs they’re applying for. Companies are now laser-focused on narrowing down the talent pool to quickly identify and prioritize the most qualified candidates.
It’s essential to ask skill-related questions early in the application process without compromising the simplicity and usability of the easy-apply experience. True leaders in recruitment management software have integrated their products with best-in-class assessment providers to enhance precision in candidate evaluation.
Two leaders in the Applicant Tracking space, Pereless Systems and ATS OnDemand have realized that assessments’ are no longer nice to have but are a must have for companies to compete for talent at the highest level.
We believe that assessments are key to the process of employee attraction and retention. We realized that we needed to partner with the best in breed providers in this space. We implemented this process early in 2000 and it has really helped our clients realize faster time to hire and employees that are in for the long run.

Bradfords take on Skill assessments –
Integrating skill assessment software with your talent management system can enhance workforce development and organizational efficiency. This integration allows for precise identification of employee competencies and skill gaps, leading to targeted training and informed talent strategies.
Benefits:
• Enhanced Skill Mapping: AI-driven tools can analyze employee data to assess current skills and predict future needs, facilitating effective workforce planning. For instance, Johnson & Johnson employs an AI process called “skills inference” to evaluate and enhance workforce capabilities.
• Personalized Training: Identifying individual skill gaps enables the creation of customized training programs, improving employee performance and engagement.
• Internal Mobility: Understanding employee skills supports internal hiring by matching candidates to suitable roles, reducing recruitment costs and retaining talent. DHL’s “career marketplace” utilizes AI to align employee skills with open positions, promoting internal career advancement.
Considerations:
• Data Quality: The effectiveness of AI-driven assessments depends on accurate and comprehensive data. Incomplete or biased data can lead to incorrect evaluations.
• Human Oversight: While AI can process large datasets efficiently, human judgment is essential for nuanced decisions, especially in high-stakes evaluations.
• Employee Participation: Engaging employees in the process and allowing them to update their skill profiles can enhance the accuracy of assessments and acceptance of the system.
Incorporating skill assessment software into your talent management system can provide a data-driven foundation for workforce development, aligning employee capabilities with organizational goals.
