"So You Don't Test? A Closer Look at Why You Should Consider It" is episode 7 of the 'Testing, Testing 1-2-3' podcast by TestGenius and Biddle Consulting Group. In this episode, hosts Mike Callen and Jenny Arnez of Biddle Consulting Group's TestGenius podcast address common concerns and misconceptions about testing in recruitment. Many elements of the hiring process are inherently tests, distinguish between subjective and objective measures, and discuss the importance of ensuring tests' validity and consistency with business necessity. In this episode, the hosts will highlight the benefits of using skill and ability tests, personality tests and situational judgment tests to improve hiring effectiveness, employee engagement, and defensibility. Real-world examples and detailed explanations reinforce the crucial role of testing in creating a fair and efficient recruitment process.
