How candidate testing ensures fair work compliance and eliminate fair work concerns?

Recruiting of the candidate through an interview solely on the basis of their resume may not be sufficient for hiring in every case. Although many interviewers successfully judge the overall personality of the candidate but factors like intelligence, critical reasoning and personality assessment of every candidate needs catering too. Also, it is very important to test the skills or the abilities mentioned in the resume of the candidate to check whether they can actually do what they have mentioned in their curriculum vitae or not, that’s where the testing system during a recruitment process jumps in and ensures fair recruitment and eliminates fair work concerns.
