“My team spent too much time interviewing irrelevant candidates due to the varying ranges of English proficiency. We went to the iTEP Conversation test to pre-screen job candidates. They take the test online so we don’t have to take time to give a test or provide a room or proctors. Using iTEP Conversation for pre-screening, in our last hiring round, we were able to filter 170 good candidates from the pool of 300.”

Results to drive your hiring decisions when using English proficiency tests for business

Low levels of English are often sources of misunderstanding and delay, and in many cases, they are blocking points for career progression. For an HR manager, identifying those who need extra support in a timely and efficient manner is difficult. But with any of the iTEP exams, regular, company-wide standardized English testing is now a realistic proposal.

“When hiring, I had to assess the applicants on their logical reasoning & aptitude. I’m not qualified to assess English proficiency. However, assessing a large pool of candidates & acquiring unbiased results without any human hustle is difficult without a sound testing solution. With iTEP English proficiency tests, I was able to filter more than 500 candidates within a short span of time.”
