You've found someone who looks promising, but what you really need is to understand if they will be able to do the job. JOBJACK's Assessment & Checks Hub gives you practical assessment and screening tools that help businesses, big and small, check who a candidate is and whether they’ll fit the job before you make the hire.

How much do you really know about the person you're about to hire?

For any business, getting a hiring decision wrong can cost you a lot time and money.

A new employee who struggles to keep up in their role can mean more time lost on retraining, and the eventual rehiring just adds to the workload of an already stretched team. The challenge is that not every business has an HR department, recruitment specialist or a dedicated team to manage assessments and background checks.

But hiring doesn't have to be complicated, even when you're managing the process yourself. JOBJACK offers tools to support different stages of recruitment, from finding and managing applicants with JOBJACK Lite to assessing and screening candidates already in your recruitment pipeline.

JOBJACK's Assessment & Checks Hub offers a straightforward way for businesses to assess candidates and run additional checks, arming employers with more information about who they are hiring.

Assessments and checks matter to understand who you’re hiring in your store

Assessments

Most bad hires aren’t bad people; they’re just people who weren’t cut out for the role. You find out too late, when they leave within weeks, don’t do the job properly, stop turning up, abscond or end up in a disciplinary.

A CV and an interview only tell you what someone says about themselves. Our in-house assessments show you whether they can do what the role needs, where the gaps are and what to watch for or train before they start.

Send the invite by email or SMS, and the candidate completes it online on their phone or computer, in their own time. You get an easy-to-read overview of each person’s results, including an overall FIT score for the role. Use it as part of your decision-making on who to hire, see where someone will need support and plan their onboarding.

Pre-employment checks

Your employees are trusted with stock, cash, equipment and, in many cases, access to your business. This is why you need to be sure you know who you are hiring.

Fraudulent IDs, undisclosed criminal records and qualifications that don't check out are an unfortunate reality that can expose your business to unnecessary risks. These aren't just hypothetical concerns; businesses have experienced theft, fraud and identity-related issues that could have been identified through the right pre-employment checks.

Our integrated pre-employment checks help you verify important information before bringing someone into your business. Simply request a check using the candidate's South African ID number, with consent collected through the platform. You can choose the checks relevant to the role and manage your requests and results in one place.

Choose from Credit & ID checks, for results on a candidate's financial credibility, Risk checks to identify whether an applicant has previously been arrested and/or has a case against them and Matric checks, which verify whether a candidate passed their Matric examination.

Make decisions based on facts, not just people’s word, to protect your business from fraud and disciplinary actions.

Assessments and screening made simple; you don’t even need a team to do it

Whether you're hiring your first employee or growing an existing team, having more information about the people you're considering can help you make decisions with greater confidence.

But assessments and pre-employment checks don't have to mean complicated processes, multiple service providers or an HR team to manage them.

The JOBJACK Assessment & Checks Hub brings everything together in one place. You can send candidates assessments, request additional checks and track results through a single dashboard. It's self-service, easy to use and gives you access to the tools you need, when you need them.
