SHL announces Smart Interview Professional, a new solution that helps organizations conduct structured interviews at scale, in a fair and consistent way while enhancing the candidate experience.
“The interview process is long overdue for reinvention,” says Andy Nelesen, solutions lead, talent acquisition at SHL. “With around 4 billion interviews conducted each year, organizations waste precious time and resources on outdated interview methods that fail to reveal true candidate potential and fit. It’s time for a new generation of interviewing, powered by science and analytics, that delivers real results.”
