Lasse Hønsen sharing some stats and details on how our break functionality on ability tests is being used by candidates and which problems it helps solve 👇
❓How about a break❓ At Fairsight, we believe in putting the candidate experience first, and our innovative ability test do just that. I'm excited to highlight some datea from our candidate-centric feature: the ability to pause the test for breaks. 🎉 Our data shows that this feature is a game-changer: 🌟 30% of candidates have utilized the pause feature to take a break. 🌟 On average, candidates take a 75 second break. You can use 3 minutes if you want. 🌟 Most candidates use the pause feature once during their test. 🧠 Why is this so important? We understand that cognitive performance can fluctuate, and providing the option to take a break can help candidates stay fresh and focused, leading to a more accurate representation of their abilities. Benefits of a break: ✅ Reduce test anxiety: By allowing candidates to pause and take breaks, we help mitigate the pressure and stress often associated with continuous testing. This leads to a more relaxed and authentic performance. ✅ Solve for distractions: Life happens. Whether it's a phone call, a doorbell, or just needing a moment to clear your head, the pause feature ensures candidates can manage distractions without impacting their performance. ✅ Face validity for real-life problem solving: In real-world job scenarios, complex problem-solving often includes opportunities for short breaks. Our feature mirrors this reality, making the test experience more realistic and fair. Here’s how it works: 💪 Flexibility: Candidates can pause the test at any point to take a short break between tasks. This ensures they can recharge and return to the test with a clear mind. ⚖️ Fairness: Our goal is to provide a level playing field where all candidates can perform at their best, without the pressure of continuous testing. 👌 User-Friendly: The pause feature is simple to use, integrated seamlessly into the test interface. 🤝 We believe that a more relaxed candidate is a more authentic candidate. This approach aligns with our commitment to fairness and innovation in the recruitment process. So, next time your asked to take an assessment and feel stressed or not at your best - how about a break?
