Remote Physical Ability Testing: Streamline Pre-Hire Assessment
Finding the right candidate for a physically demanding job should involve job-specific pre-hire physical ability testing (PAT). Typically, this means coordinating schedules with a local clinic where the applicant well be tested or having an evaluator come onsite.
But what if there was a simpler, more efficient way to assess your candidate’s ability to perform the physical requirements of the job, one that saves you time, money, and headaches?
Enter Remote Pre-Hire Physical Ability Testing, a game-changer for busy employers and job candidates.
The Challenges with Traditional Physical Abilities Testing (PAT):
Imagine this: You’ve found the perfect candidate for your team, someone with the skills and experience you need. But you want them to take your pre-hire physical abilities test. You need to:
Identify a nearby clinic: Skilled evaluators in rehab clinics are often fully booked, especially if you’re in a remote location.
Coordinate schedules: Aligning the evaluator’s availability with the candidate’s schedule can be challenging – especially if the candidate is currently working.
Deal with limited options: Traditional pre-hire PAT relies on local outpatient rehab facilities, restricting choice and flexibility.
Alternatively, test onsite: You’ll pay for the evaluators’ travel and evaluation time. And you may have to guarantee a minimum number of tests to make the trip to your location worth it for the evaluator.
Depending on your unique situation, these factors may create some challenges to smooth and efficient hiring.
There may be a better way to accomplish your goals and further streamline the testing process.
Enter the Remote Pre-Hire PAT Revolution!
Remote pre-hire Physical Abilities Testing eliminates the geographical and logistical challenges of traditional testing methods.
Here’s how it works:
Candidate onsite, evaluator remote: Your applicant visits your onsite facility where the testing equipment (lifting stations, weights, sleds) is located.
Live video monitoring: An expert evaluator observes the candidate’s performance remotely via secure video technology.
Real-time scoring and reporting: The evaluator scores the test and creates the report in real-time, ensuring objective and transparent assessment.
Immediate Results: Your Talent Acquisition Team gets the results of the PAT as soon as the candidate finishes the test.
Here's why Remote Pre-Hire Physical Abilities Testing is a win-win for employers:
Enhanced Scheduling Flexibility: Schedule tests at your and your candidates’ convenience.
Reduced Costs: Eliminate travel expenses for onsite evaluators and potentially negotiate lower testing fees due to increased efficiency.
Improved Efficiency: Streamline the hiring process by completing PAT quickly and easily, without logistical delays.
Enhanced expertise: Evaluators are experts who perform evaluations daily compared to a local clinician who may test weekly, monthly, or less often.
Beyond Convenience: Ensuring Accurate Assessments:
Concerns about the accuracy of remote testing are understandable. However, advancements in technology address these concerns:
High-quality video: Secure video feeds with clear audio allow evaluators to observe movements and details as effectively as in person.
Standardized equipment: Consistent testing equipment at your facility ensures fair and comparable results across candidates.
Expert evaluators: ErgoScience remote evaluators are highly qualified professionals with exceptional expertise in physical assessment and remote testing protocols. They conduct testing daily – compared to local clinicians who may only test periodically.
