Testing of English,
Soft, and Hard skills for tech companies
Testing will be useful for your company if:
- you're not sure about your team progress: without regular testing, you might miss important insights about their learning
- you need to know if your education investments pay off: you spend money on learning, but you don't know if it helps your business
- HR team spends too much time arranging tests: during the performance review, people spend weeks organizing tests and can’t focus on the other tasks
- there's concern about subjective feedback: the info you get seems one-sided and based on personal opinions.
