Improving Candidate Experience with Voice Assessments

Candidate experience matters. A positive assessment experience not only helps you attract top talent but also reflects well on your organization. Voice assessments create a more engaging, accessible, and fair evaluation process that candidates actually enjoy.

Why Candidate Experience Matters

• Top candidates evaluate you as much as you evaluate them
• Positive experiences improve your employer brand
• Better experience leads to higher completion rates
• Candidates share their experiences with others
• Poor experience can drive away great talent

How Voice Assessments Improve Experience

1. More Natural Format

Speaking feels more natural than writing, especially for candidates who may not be strong writers but are excellent communicators verbally.

2. Less Stressful

The conversational format reduces test anxiety. Candidates can think out loud and explain their reasoning naturally.

3. Faster Completion

Voice assessments typically take less time than written tests, making them more convenient for busy candidates.

4. Better Accessibility

Voice assessments are more accessible for candidates with writing difficulties or learning differences, providing a fairer evaluation.

Best Practices for Candidate Experience

• Provide clear instructions before the assessment
• Set realistic time limits
• Offer practice questions if possible
• Give candidates the option to re-record answers
• Provide feedback after completion
• Ensure the process is mobile-friendly

Measuring Success

Track metrics like completion rates, candidate feedback, and time-to-complete to measure the success of your voice assessment program. A positive candidate experience will show in these metrics.
