About Virtual Job Tryout®. (And how it can transform your staffing process and pre-employment assessment.)

The industry-leading Virtual Job Tryout is a unique and innovative candidate evaluation built specifically for your organization to drive performance outcomes that matter to you. Not only does the Virtual Job Tryout give your hiring managers the best information with which to make more accurate hiring decisions, it also presents your candidates with an intriguing and educational view of the job so that they can understand the job's true opportunities and challenges.

Important facts you should know about Virtual Job Tryout:

An Improved Candidate Experience

  • Highly-engaging with real, on-the-job scenarios. Virtual Job Tryout is as high fidelity and interactive as possible to increase applicant interest. Work sample simulations and exercises throughout provide a glimpse of what the job is really like.
  • Two-way information exchange. That is, the applicant learns something about the job and organization, while you also learn about the applicant. This is much more respectful of the applicant than a typical test process, in which the discovery is completely one-sided.
  • Self-selecting process. Virtual Job Tryout can be tailored to feature a description of both the rewards and challenges of a job. It’s not a marketing piece designed to convince people to apply, but rather an honest and balanced look at the position and the issues that might cause a person to succeed or fail. Sharing this information helps poor-fit applicants to self-select out of the process, saving you both time and money.

An Improved Company/Executive Experience

  • Highly customizable for your job/organization. Research has shown repeatedly that customized assessments, targeted to your unique objectives, are much more valid predictors of new hire success. This results in saving you money and adding value to your enterprise. In fact, a full documented return on investment in the first year of using Virtual Job Tryout is common. (To see how, check out our ROI Calculators.)
  • Easily integrated into your technology platform. Virtual Job Tryout is designed to mesh seamlessly with your existing technology platforms. Integrations are in place with many of today's leading ATSs, including Taleo, Kenexa/BrassRing, PeopleClick, PeopleSoft e-Recruit, Authoria, My Staffing Pro and more.

An Improved Recruiter Experience

  • Get to qualified candidates faster. Virtual Job Tryout reports an overall rating plus documents competency-level results to efficiently rank and stack all candidates. Which allows you to get to best-fit candidates quickly.
  • Reduce interview-to-hire ratio. By working with higher quality candidate pools, you begin interviewing candidates most likely to be successful, plus, you're armed with interview questions based upon work sample simulation and work history (biodata) responses.
  • Make more accurate hiring decisions. Virtual Job Tryout documents and measures traits and characteristics difficult to measure with more traditional methods. In other words, it gives you decision confidence you need by enabling you to rely on data sets versus personal judgment.
