Why you should use work sample tests in your recruitment funnel instead of CVs
Airlie Hilliard
Almost every job opening asks applicants to provide their CV and/or fill in an application form that largely contains information that would be included in a CV, such as education and past experience. This is typically the first step in the process. Due to the large volume of applicants, mechanisms are used to screen applicants and reduce the size of the applicant pool so that resources can be invested into applicants that demonstrate more promise. While this makes intuitive sense, evidence shows us that CVs are bad predictors of future job performance.
