How Can Certifications Help Your Hiring Process
Using credible SDS certifications helps you improve your hiring process, three ways:
Expand your hiring pool by pre-qualifying candidates that will not make it through your ATS filters. Studies show that ATS filters block up to 75% of qualified candidates from getting a chance to interview. That is a lot of talent that you are missing in your process.
Improve filtering of candidates that earn interviews. The cost of fully interviewing a candidate can be as high as $500 and that does not factor in the opportunity cost for your sales leadership team. Your ATS does a good job of filtering for experience and education but it does not qualify candidates based on their knowledge of skills. Our certification test does.
Your interview team is best qualified to test candidates for cultural fit and for unique job specific knowledge and skills. If your team is confident that certified candidates have the basic knowledge and skills required for your positions, they can spend more time exploring cultural fit and diving deeper on your unique requirements.
