Technical testing – IKM
Technical recruitment is a tricky business. How do you know that the candidates you interview have the right level of technical ability? The usual way to find this out is to interview them, but often you will find that your time has been wasted because the candidate doesn’t meet the required standard.
This is why we are the only Midlands-based IT recruitment company to offer technical testing as a standard part of our process, at no additional cost. This eliminates the need to spend time conducting technical interviews / tests of your own, and the results provide invaluable advance information about the candidates that you do interview.
