Why Smart Firm Owners and HR Managers Use Testing

Think of the processes required to know your clients. Now, compare that to your current process to know your candidate. Trying to get objective evidence during the hiring process is trickier than it's ever been. Hiring managers and firm owners have to deal with resumes generated by AI, interviews with candidates who have done it all before and know what you want to hear - this makes hiring a qualified person, objectively and without bias, very difficult. Testing is the only way you'll get objective evidence to help make fast and unbiased selection decisions. This webinar will explain its benefits and how to choose the testing that will suit your hiring, with a focus specifically on accountants, tax pros, auditors and bookkeepers. Intended audience - those involved in hiring experienced accountants and bookkeepers
