Using talent assessments to evaluate job candidates can sometimes prove to be a real juggling act, with multiple providers to manage and differing practices to consider. Employers can offer a simpler process, improving the candidate experience without compromising the quality and depth of insight they gain. During this hour-long complimentary webinar, The Home Depot and Mutual of Omaha will share how they are leveraging pan’s single source, multi-publisher testing platform to effectively assess candidates’ abilities and characteristics, gain efficiencies in the application process and reduce turnover rates.

Webinar attendees will hear how The Home Depot uses the new platform’s business process modeling to manage and automate the application process as candidates move through a combination of proprietary and off-the-shelf assessments on the way to an interview. They will also learn how Mutual of Omaha recruiters and staffing managers save time and improve the candidate experience by packaging varying assessments from multiple publishers into a single, targeted decision engine for any given position.
