HOUSTON -- To help dealers recruit and hire employees who are a "good fit" for their business, a new Web-based applicant screening solution has been launched, reported Auto Remarketing.

TestFirstHiring.com is designed to equip dealers to "hire better employees the first time around, promoting lower turnover rates and higher productivity among better-matched employees," the company stated.

"Historically, in the hiring process, one of two things typically occurs," said Trey Hiers, marketing manager for TestFirst Hiring. "Organizations either invest a great deal of time and money evaluating applicants, or they simply hire blindly due to a lack of resources. We created TestFirstHiring.com to help companies in both situations by providing an economical solution that enables every business to screen numerous applicants quickly, without breaking the bank."

According to the company, customized screening tests, position descriptions and questions are set up on the TestFirst Web site, based on each client's specific needs. Prospective employee candidates then access a secure testing Web site using a unique password, which offers increased control and security.

Within this site, applicants complete a screening test, which they can take from any computer connected to the Internet. Test results are then instantly e-mailed to management, enabling them to compare each applicant's skills with the job requirements, as well as measure the organizational fit and potential of the candidate.
