I'm sorry you didn't find the skills testing process to be positive. Nothing that is produced in the course of skills testing is used for production work - either for ourselves or for our clients. We find skills tests to be a necessary and advantageous way to higher in a very competitive industry. Some candidates talk a big game about their capabilities only to fall short of what they promised in interviews and on resumes. Skills tests help qualified candidates prove their mettle and value, and helps us avoid costly mistakes.
