Online testing for freshers who apply for job postings will be attractive to think but in real case its a toughest task to manage. Even great assessment firms are aware of the consequences and stay away from the idea.
"The job vacancies are posted in the internet". The problem starts from this point. Pre-screening for the particular vacancy is an idea evolved in recent times and many candidates are not patient enough to grasp the idea. The hiring company may leave the prescreening to its vendors who have an online platform to conduct exams. From the day of vacancy post of online exam the candidates start querying regarding the prescreening, registration to the exam, time of exam, exam pattern, next process after prescreening and so on. The greatest fact is that every details will be clearly prescribed in the job posting itself. But many candidates don't read it fully and start posting in the forums or in the query part. If the queries are not answered properly the frustrated and impatient candidates start seeing the company as fake. This makes a bad impression about the company when exposed in internet .
Another problem will be when disclosing the results. If results are published transparently in the internet then the candidates who are not satisfied with the marks start commenting as if the correction has some mistakes. The pathetic company have to answer the questions related to this issue also. If the company has a forum connected to social networking websites then the issue gets even bigger as the information passes in a viral manner. Now a days there are public forums where the candidates form group and have discussion about the hiring companies and the hiring process. So if one starts commenting badly about the online exam then the discussion leads to some bad impression about the company and hiring process.
If the company delays the next process of interview after the prescreening then vendor company who did the online exam will be affected badly which should answer to the candidates who are waiting for next step of interview. The hiring company will be least bothered about this issue because they however get a publicity among the candidates and the vendor company is blamed. Instead the candidates will start posting in forums as "the vendor company is fake and they did it for a publicity hunt". This leads to a total damage.
The company prefers for screening through online exam instead of prescreening then also the problem of handling exams to many candidates in a given slot of time, low internet speed, browser crash, network failure, power cut arises. Since screening is done for a mass server should have the capacity to overcome which can be solved with the help of technology. But issues like power, network all are in candidates side which is hard to be resolved. The scheduled exams should overcome all such problems.
So for off campus screening or prescreening online testing will not be an effective method. Only paper and pencil mode of conducting exams and scoring instantly will help to overcome the issues.
