Pros:

The system itself is typically very robust and we have had few issues, however, when they have cropped up the support team has been incredible. They have been incredibly quick with responding to all requests/queries and nothing seems to be too big an ask or too silly for them to consider. Every individual I have encountered from Skills Arena has been brilliant but I would specifically like to mention [sensitive content hidden], very knowledgeable in his field and always on hand to support!

Cons:

The only thing for me is the reporting, but this is more due to the integration we have with our other system rather than a Skills Arena issue.

Review of Skillsarena

The platform has added an additional unbiased element to our hiring stage and helped us to make more informed decisions.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Firstly, the customer service is excellent and so responsive. The platform itself is pretty easy to use and there is a good range of pre-loaded tests to cater for most roles. The grading system is good and easy to use.

Cons:

A few more specific tests for the legal industry and the UX could be a bit better. There isn't the opportunity as an Admin to view the test to determine if its relevant for the role you are assessing against, although this does get sent out very quickly if you email your Account Manager.

Skills Arena Testing - Would not be without it

Fantastic and responsive business with ever-helpful staff. They always want to go the extra mile to support our business and take time to explain features and benefits very carefully.

Functionality

Pros:

Secom use the system for an array for features and predominantly for Personality Profiling. It provides an excellent insight into the candidate makeup and one that you may not ordinarily see during the interview process. It allows us to position questions to tease out salient responses from candidates who may not have ordinarily wanted to cover potentially difficult/weaker areas. The colour wheel also allows us to ensure that team members will work well together and complement one another.

Cons:

I really cannot think of any major negatives.

Reasons for choosing skillsarena

The tests are easy to administer and the results are comprehensive, but not overwhelming. The team took the time to explain how their system would integrate and benefit Secom and were not overly pushy to close. There was/is a personal touch to Skills Arena that you simply do not find in many companies these days.

Pros:

The wide variety of options meaning we can screen / test for skills across a multitude of departments and levels. In addition the personality profile adds a great dimension.

Cons:

The remote feature isn't always seamless in that it can go into a candidate's junk mail. There is a good work around for this but it could be better.

Reasons for choosing skillsarena

The overall good range and reasonable pricing.
