Advanced Prescreening Applicants Testing, an IT Web-based Application, March 2004
DESCRIPTION

Advanced Prescreening Applicants Testing ("APAT") focuses on saving valuable times and expenses before the first face-to-face interview by prescreening the applicants for you.

The APAT is a web-based application for testing all of our new recruits and online applicants. The APAT enables a uniform hiring practice across the multiple divisions. The three factors that comprised the composite score are:

  • Critical Skills (60%)
    The critical skills section is vital to for any hiring decision. It should free HR personnel from conducting technical, in-depth interview. The critical skills topic are ranging from C-programming, IT-networking, business analysis, project management, to Adobe Photoshop proficiency.
  • Corporate Culture Compatibility (30% to 40%)
    Each hiring manager will be able to select from a list of approved corporate culture compatibility questionnaires. It is ranging from the level of education and/or certification required, salary ranges, to written and spoken language proficiency.
  • Personality Profile (10%, Optional)
    Depending on the hiring managers and/or the job description, the Personality Profile section is optional. It is based on a derivative of the Jung´s Topology and Myers-Briggs four personality factors:
    • Extroversion - Introversion
    • Sensing - Intuition
    • Thinking - Feeling
    • Judging - Perceiving

Sounds like you have a blast at the presentation. Kevin said that the board is very impressed with the work.

I love that we are now have a clear blueprint for the APAT. I would start the implementation tomorrow if the board give us the greenlight! We must do lunch before I transfer to my new region. Thank you for the excellent job you did on the blueprint.
