Internet Job Postings Explained

We test for technical aptitude using technical tests developed for specific areas of engineering. Once a qualified engineer has been evaluated and deemed suitable, we can confidently recommend them to your company. Although we do the preliminary work for you, it is also important for you to have an interview plan. We suggest that you prepare a checklist of questions you will ask each candidate.

It is a good idea to include some open-ended questions in order to get better insight into the candidate’s communication skills and how their experience relates to the position.
