Trouble Finding Quality Applicants? Try ZipRecruiter’s Customizable Quiz Feature

It’s no surprise that employers are facing challenges with recruitment. Companies cannot find qualified workers to fulfill roles, more and more job seekers are using mobile search apps to apply for jobs, yet many companies don’t have optimized career sites, and with cutbacks in HR departments, employers have less staff trying to handle more work, i.e. applicant overload.

What oh what are today’s companies to do? Just how can companies effectively source top talent in a way that’s cost effective and also time saving? ZipRecruiter has a feature for that.

The online job distribution service offers an optional, customizable quiz feature for employers. Here’s how it works:

• Hiring managers and recruiters can choose to include a short quiz within their applications.

•  The quiz may include various question types, such as job specific, basic, yes/no, multiple choice, and open ended. For example, employers may ask everything from a basic question like “Do you have a gmail account?” to a job specific question like “How many years of experience do you have in XYZ field?”

• Once applicants answer the questions, employers can view their responses in conjunction with their resume.

ZipRecruiter’s popular feature allows companies to easily and effectively screen potential candidates, which can minimize applicant overload as companies filter in only the most suitable applicants.

And the site also helps companies attract those mobile job seekers offering a “mobile apply process.” Companies can have mobile optimized pages making it easy for any job seeker to apply while on the go.
