Business Wire IndiaPragnya Meter, a proprietary tool developed by Wisdomjobs.com – a Hyderabad-based Top 5 job portal in India - promises to change the way employers assess and shortlist candidates in the pre-interview stage.
An online assessment platform designed to assess candidate skills and competencies across 6000+ skillsets, it brings in objectivity to candidate shortlisting while significantly reducing recruiter time and effort, as well as hiring costs. Pragnya Meter enables employers/recruiters to create/customize assessments online, and to send them out simultaneously to a large number of potential candidates.
Flexible testing methodology
The platform offers employers the option of creating assessments based on their specific requirements or customizing an existing assessment from the extensive test library. Assessments can be carried out on core skills as well as to test communication skills, aptitude, and psychometrics of candidates.
A variety of question formats such as multiple choice, checkbox type, fill-in-the-blank, short answer and long answer can be used in creating the assessments. For IT hiring requirements, the platform also offers the facility to run coding and programming tests online. The Pragnya Meter question bank contains nearly 5 Crore questions at present.
Highly secure testing environment
It guarantees integrity and security of the tests through multi-level monitoring, from screen monitoring through customizable tolerance settings to video monitoring through live webcam recordings. Screen grabs of the test takers are also provided along with a real-time monitoring facility. Employers can also enable IP-based restrictions to add a further layer of security to the tests they conduct through Pragnya Meter.
Simple user interface
Pragnya Meter is a highly user-friendly tool. After registration, employers can access the assessments, on a pay-per-assessment basis, through the website www.pragnyameter.com. They have the option of sharing assessments with individual candidates via email links as well as bulk assigning them via a secure system generated code. Post assessment, employers can access detailed analytical and graphical reports for every assessment conducted. They can also view video recordings of tests takers to verify integrity of the tests.
One platform, multiple applications
In addition to pre-hiring assessments, Pragnya Meter also serves as a powerful tool for an organization’s HR department to benchmark employee competency during training and appraisal. The aptitude and psychometric components of the assessments can also aid HR in evaluating best fit scenarios for various job roles.
In summary
Pragnya Meter provides an innovative solution to address the biggest pain point for recruiters – that of objectively assessing the suitability of each candidate/application that they process. By reducing dependency on face to face interviews for candidate screening, it allows recruiters and organizations to focus on assessing the candidates’ skill levels and their competency to fill the positions that they are hiring for. As a training and benchmarking aid, it also enables HR heads to round out the appraisal process by adding a skill assessment component to it.
