Make talent quality your leading analytic with skills-based hiring solution.
Hiring for non technical roles presents unique challenges. Resumes often list inferred skills without concrete evidence of a candidate’s real world capabilities. This influx of unverified talent leaves HR and talent acquisition teams struggling to differentiate top candidates from those with polished but unsubstantiated applications. Glider AI’s non technical skill assessments offer a transformative approach, helping organizations validate skills and streamline hiring processes with data backed precision.
A recent survey by SHRM found that 85 percent of hiring managers have encountered candidates who exaggerate or misrepresent their skills on resumes. The rise of AI tools that enhance resumes has only amplified this issue, increasing the risk of hiring mistakes and longer recruitment cycles. A study by CareerBuilder found that a single bad hire can cost a company nearly $15,000, and 74 percent of companies admit to hiring the wrong person for a position at some point.
Glider AI provides role specific assessments tailored to functions like marketing, sales, finance, business operations, and more. The platform uses AI technology to help ensure that only the best candidates make it through the hiring process.
Glider AI’s assessments are tailored to specific roles and responsibilities, evaluating candidates through hands on tasks and situational assessments that mirror real world challenges.
The Glider AI Skills Validation Platform assesses candidates on how well they apply their skills in practical scenarios, using AI evaluation of candidate performance to offer unbiased, objective insight.
Beyond evaluating hard skills, meaning how well a candidate addresses the technical requirements of the job, Glider AI assesses the soft skills and business acumen that are often the key to success in non technical roles.
One of Glider AI’s standout features is its AI proctoring technology, which helps ensure the authenticity of assessments.
A study by Talent Board found that 43 percent of hiring managers discovered fraudulent behavior during unproctored assessments, underscoring the importance of AI proctoring.
A global business services company implemented Glider AI to improve hiring for sales and customer service roles after struggling with unqualified candidates advancing to final interview stages and wasting valuable time and resources. After adopting Glider AI, the company saw a 30 percent increase in hiring efficiency from eliminating unsuitable candidates early, a 50 percent reduction in its interview to hire ratio, and stronger alignment between job expectations and new hire performance.
What is a non technical skill assessment?
A non technical skill assessment evaluates candidates for roles like sales, finance, marketing, and business operations through hands on tasks and situational exercises rather than relying on a resume alone.
Why do non technical roles need skill assessments?
Resumes for non technical roles often list skills with no concrete evidence behind them, and surveys have found a high share of hiring managers encounter candidates who exaggerate their abilities, making practical validation especially valuable.
How does AI proctoring prevent assessment fraud?
AI proctoring uses real time monitoring, including facial recognition, gaze tracking, and behavior analysis, to flag suspicious activity such as looking away from the screen or using a secondary device during an assessment.
What soft skills can be measured with a skill assessment?
Persuasion and negotiation, active listening and emotional intelligence, and critical thinking and problem solving are among the soft skills that structured, role specific assessments can help measure.
What results can companies expect from using skill assessments for non technical hiring?
Results vary by organization, but documented outcomes include meaningful gains in hiring efficiency and a lower interview to hire ratio when unqualified candidates are filtered out earlier in the process.
Glider AI’s skill assessment platform combines role specific tasks, soft skills evaluation, and AI proctoring to help you validate non technical candidates with data backed confidence, so your hiring team spends time confirming fit rather than screening from scratch.
Take home assignment outsourcing happens when a candidate has someone else, a freelancer, a friend, or a paid ghost writing service, complete their take home coding, design, or writing test for them. Because the assignment is done alone, on the candidate’s own schedule, and away from any interviewer or proctor, nothing about the format itself […]
Leaked interview questions are exact, or nearly exact, copies of a company’s real assessment or interview questions that have been collected, compiled, and shared, often for a price, so that later candidates can memorize the answer before they ever see the question live. This is a test bank leak: a candidate is not solving a […]
Technical skills assessments have become the foundation of modern engineering hiring. Yet just a few years ago, most technical hiring teams still relied heavily on resumes, recruiter screenings, and live whiteboard interviews to evaluate engineers. While common, these methods were often slow, inconsistent, and prone to favouring candidates who performed well in interviews rather than […]
