In fact, one of the hypotheses of the impact of Covid-19 in Kenya, and the larger East African region, is its substantive impact on employment, more specifically, job losses.
Career platform, BrighterMonday Kenya, has picked up these gaps in the recruitment process, following feedback from employers.
This inspired development of an Assessment Tool for recruitment, which ensures a more comprehensive evaluation of all job applicants in addition to the normal job interviews, to identify the right hire.
The tool tests a candidate’s core competencies and hard skills required for a specific role, during the hiring process, beyond what is captured on their resumes.
On one hand, it benefits candidates by testing them for different core competencies and knowledge for specific jobs and tasks.
