Virtual Job Audition®
The Next Generation of Assessment.

All employers face the ongoing responsibility of selecting the most qualified, skilled candidates. Add to that the challenge of identifying individuals who are a good fit for the organization. A bad hiring decision can cost a company millions of dollars. And keeping the wrong person in a position decreases productivity and eliminates the opportunity for having the right person in place.

Select International offers unparalleled accuracy and realism in the hiring process with its Virtual Job Audition® (VJA®), enabling companies to make better hiring predictions.

So what is a Virtual Job Audition?

By creating an authentic job environment, companies are able to capture more of how a candidate would perform, feel and react while on the job.

More than just web-based assessments, Select International's VJAs combines advanced assessment technology with psychology. The Virtual Job Auditions has the unique ability to predict human behavior, which is very complex and can’t be accurately measured with paper and pencil testing. VJAs can be configured to include key measurements that will predict potential success in core competency areas as accurately as if you were conducting the assessment in an organization’s actual environment.

Every aspect of the hiring process is designed to be a virtual job simulation, allowing candidates to

  • respond to strategic business challenges
  • demonstrate innovation
  • show leadership potential
  • problem solve
  • deliver results
  • balance priorities
  • drive business improvements, and
  • exhibit commitment and accountability

This approach benefits not only employers, but also candidates. Giving candidates the opportunity to virtually experience the job before accepting an offer helps to increase job satisfaction and productivity, and reduce turnover.

Sample VJA Scenarios

  • Prospective sales associates interact with customers and demonstrate true sales skills through a Web-based “virtual reality” scenario.
  • Call center applicants field “virtual” telephone calls from unhappy customers who are making unreasonable requests.
  • Entry level manufacturing candidates monitor equipment, multitask on a production line and solve problems in a realistic industrial environment.
  • Executive-level candidates are placed in a “virtual” office setting, where they respond to business issues that play on core competencies needed to be successful on the job. The candidates are asked to monitor their virtual in-box, respond to inquiries and field phone calls appropriately.

Regardless of the job position or level, the Virtual Job Auditions accurately assesses skill sets to ensure an appropriate fit for both the candidate and the employer.
