"We found one simple marginal improvement was moving the phase of the interview process we utilised competency testing. We found the test provided too much friction at a time in the process when the candidate had several options. By moving the testing to later in the process, we got to connect with the candidate on a human level at a critical point in their selection process. We’ve seen excellent results."
