Recruiters: We Built Something To Help You Better Assess Candidate Skills At Scale

Reading a CV only gets you a tiny fraction of the picture. To truly understand candidates, you need to know a lot more.?

In the past, that’s taken multiple tools and a lot of recruiter time.?

So we built something better.

First, I’m proud to say Willo’s video interview platform already saves Recruiters six hours per week on average...?

But now we have a new feature that will save even more time and help consolidate your recruiting tech stack: Multiple choice questions (MCQ).

This new answer type enables skills assessments and data collection right in Willo, enabling Recruiters to get the full story about a candidate in a single platform.

Get the full picture of a candidate

Let’s say you have two recent graduate candidates apply for a role; both have similar grades and extracurricular activities. How can you tell which one is a better fit?

Our customers routinely told us this type of problem is both time consuming and, unfortunately, typical. In early careers or high-volume hiring especially, it’s difficult to get the whole story about a candidate through a CV.

This is where the Willo candidate screening stack comes into play. In our secure platform, Recruiters can build human-first assessments with:

• One-way video or audio responses so candidates can explain things in their own words.
• Text responses or secure document upload so you can assess deliverables or see work samples.?
• Identity verification to ensure applicants are eligible to work in the country you’re hiring for.
• And now, multiple choice questions to add skill-testing questions or simple data collection.

As talent teams look to simplify their tech stack, reduce overhead, and increase Recruiter capacity, MCQs can help. And if you still use other tools, don’t worry—Willo integrates with over 5,000 software platforms, including native integrations with all major ATS platforms, including Teamtailor , Greenhouse Software , Lever and Zapier

A final note

Our customers asked for this feature, but it’s also from best-practice research on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

One of the best ways to mitigate bias in the hiring process is asking every candidate the same questions—we now enable that for skill-testing questions with the MCQ feature. Then, of course, you can review every candidate against the same criteria using a candidate Scorecard.?

This feature is free for all Willo plans. Not a customer yet? I’d be happy to show you the platform and see if it’s a fit for your needs.
