Can You Afford to Recruit Without Testing?

Hiring the right person can be a game-changer for your team. But hiring the wrong one? That can cost more than just time and money — it can impact morale, productivity, and even your customer experience.


Yet many businesses still rely on CVs and interviews alone to make that decision.

At eRecruitSmart, we’re asking the question every employer should consider:


Can you really afford to recruit without testing?


💡 Why Skills Testing Matters

CVs can tell you what a candidate says they can do. Testing shows you what they can actually do.


Our new Skills Testing Suite gives you access to over 350 assessments designed to help you make confident, data-driven hiring decisions. Whether you’re hiring for admin, finance, sales, customer service, IT or management roles, we’ve got you covered.


🧠 What Can You Test?

  • Admin & Office Skills – Typing speed, MS Word, Excel, data entry, attention to detail

  • Sales & Customer Service – Listening, persuasion, empathy, complaint handling

  • Numerical, Verbal & Logical Reasoning – Perfect for roles that require analytical thinking

  • IT & Technical Skills – From basic digital literacy to advanced programming

  • Personality & Behavioural Profiling – Understand how a candidate fits into your culture and team

  • Aptitude & Problem Solving – Identify high-potential individuals even without experience


🛠️We’ll Handle It All

We know you're busy — so we make it simple.

  • We do the setup

  • We recommend up to 5 relevant tests per role

  • You can test up to 5 candidates per role

  • All results are automatically fed into your ATS, so you can see scores right next to each application.


Need something specific? You can easily swap tests out to suit your exact role or industry.


📊 Real Data. Smarter Hiring.

Whether you're building a customer service team or looking for a new PA, skills testing helps you shortlist the right people before you get to interview. That means:

✅ Less time wasted

✅ Better interviews

✅ Higher quality hires

✅ Lower risk of poor fit or early turnover
