2011-05-20

TORONTO, ON, May 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) Brinks North America has made a strategic risk management decision to Test Drive - provide Hiring Simulation Assessments for key hires throughout the firm. By allowing hiring managers and team members to see candidates in action (as if they are on the job) will allow management to make logical - not emotional hires.

"You can teach technical skills but you cannot teach personality. The Hiring Simulations at Hire Results Limited allows Employers to see the Personality at Work. There's nothing greater than observing the top few candidates carrying out tangible scenarios. It is the greatest Human Resources funnelling effect Brink's Canada has experienced. After the interviews and behavioural assessments, the Hire Results System is the cherry on top". - Bonnie B. Hakim, B.A., CHRP, Human Resources-Brink's.

The Hiring Simulation Assessment system has been used since 2002 with firms throughout North America to allow hiring managers to move away from traditional interviewing, where candidates can easily perform well, and into "experiencing" candidates in key activities of the job. The company's nine year history of dramatically increasing clients hiring success moved Hire Results Ltd to develop and release their SaaS based assessment tool in late 2001. Brinks North America was the first to implement it for all of North America.

Hire Results Ltd - developers of the Hiring Simulation Assessment system have been assisting organization in managing hiring risk since early 2002. The Hiring Simulation Assessment tool is the first of its kinds that combines true face to face touch assessments with online scoring tools for both the hiring team and candidates.
