Assessments can help provide objective insight into a candidate’s skills, knowledge, and job-related competencies. They allow hiring teams to make more informed hiring decisions. When used with interviews, they can help find candidates who are best match the job requirements.
Paycor Recruiting works with Tavio. Tavio connects to different assessment providers to help you review job candidates. Tavio charges a separate fee for its subscription service.
To turn on the Tavio assessment integration, contact the Recruiting Support team and request the Tavio job assessment integration for Recruiting.
