What is an online Laravel test? How will it help you?
An online Laravel test is a skills-based assessment that helps you evaluate your candidates’ expertise in the Laravel PHP framework.
In today’s market, finding the right candidate with the right set of skills is difficult. And this is especially true when hiring programmers and software developers. Finding a strong candidate with a subset of skills in the PHP programming language (Laravel framework) can be an even harder task.
Added to that, three issues are impacting the recruitment process and reducing your chances of hiring the right candidate:
• Limited candidate pool: Even if employers are getting more applications than ever, the general quality of these applications has declined. Many candidates are opting for a “shotgun approach,” sending their resumes to as many companies as possible without looking at the requirements for the vacancy, hoping one of their applications will work out. This only creates additional work for the hiring managers who need to go through piles of resumes to find suitably qualified candidates.
• Hiring bias: Once the manager has gone through all the resumes and has found candidates they think might be a good match, unconscious biases often take over. The hiring manager can try to prevent biases affecting their decisions, but there’s a reason they’re called unconscious: they will sway hiring decisions without the recruiter noticing. Even if the hiring manager deals with the Halo effect, problems with confirmation bias may remain.
• Resume dependence: On top of biases, hiring managers have to sift through hundreds of CVs to see if any applicants meet the skill requirements for the role (Laravel in this case). With this approach, the hiring manager isn’t actually assessing candidates’ Laravel skills, but their skills when it comes to writing CVs.
Luckily, all three of these problems can be solved by using a pre-employment test in your hiring.
