We here at Shaker Consulting Group are extremely excited to announce our first annual Virtual Job Tryout® (VJT) Customer Survey! The feedback of our end-users is very important to us, and as a way to say ‘thank you’, one lucky survey participant will win a brand-spanking new Apple iPad! All you have to do is complete our short survey, and share your brilliant hiring-process ideas. You do of course have to be a current VJT user (sorry Shaker employees, but you don’t count!), and if your company policy prevents you from accepting the iPad, we will make a donation to a charitable organization of your choosing instead.
Improving your employee selection process is important to us. We want to collect your ideas to help improve the ROI you get from the Virtual Job Tryout.
Watch your inbox for our survey link, which is being released now. And watch this space for our report on what we learn as we analyze your responses (of course, we will keep your name confidential). We can’t wait to hear what you have to say!
