Adapted from Crain’s Cleveland Business Magazine, December 2006

“Shaker Consulting created the Virtual Job Tryout® to create a comprehensive look at a candidate. At the same time, the candidate gets to take the job for a test drive to see some of the things that they will be doing on the job, which is tailored to for each individual employer. It creates a two-way information exchange and helps both parties make a more informed decision.”
