2.Pros and cons of using virtual assessment for employee selection
National City uses a computerized simulation of specific job-related tasks known as "Virtual Job Tryout” to select candidates for jobs. In effect, job candidates get to audition for the job they
want. The company believes that this type of assessment does more than help the company select the right people. The process also gives National City Corporation a dist
inctive recruit
ing experience
that creates a unique impression on applicants and helps build the employer brand of the company.
National City worked with a consult
ing firm to develop several virtual simulations. The simulations have audio and video
interactivity and are quite appeal
ing to younger job applicants such as Gen
Y'ers. Call center applicants, for
instance, are given scenarios requir
ing them to solve customer service problems. Branch manager applicants have to demonstrate their skills at develop
ing client
relationships and mak
ing quick personnel decisions. Of course, these onl
ine assessments are just part of the overall selection process, but they are the next step
in gett
ing hired after complet
ing
the application process.
The firm believes that this part of its selection process is an educational tool that helps potential employees learn about the company. Accord
ing to one of the consultants
involved
in the
development of the simulation,
innovative companies are look
ing for unique experiences such as this one to make their selection process stand out.
