TeckChek address the needs of the mobile recruitment professional
TeckChek, one of the leading provider's of vendor-independent IT skills assessment services, has launched an upgraded version of TeckChek Offline, a suite of skills assessment tests designed for the desktop.
The suite can reside either on a desktop or a laptop, enabling recruitment consultants to access the tests without the need to use the Internet.
Introducing the new upgrade Richard Newton, managing director, TeckChek, said: "What we are seeing in today's recruitment environment is the need for a mobile solution - one that does not necessarily depend on the Internet.
"To put it plainly how many times do recruitment consultants have to organise interviews at hotels, conference centres of even airports. And, more importantly, how difficult it can be to access the Internet from remote locations such as these when you are dependent on mobile phones and the like for dial up.
"Furthermore, given that these tests can last up to an hour or more TeckChek Offline is an ideal solution when, for example, you are in a geographical market where either Internet access is not reliable or cost prohibitive."
The newly upgraded range of adaptive test subjects and assessments enable recruitment consultants to evaluate the knowledge and practical experience of IT professionals in a wide variety of advanced technologies, without the need of Internet access.
The latest version of TechChek Offline has been completely reengineered with a range of new security features designed to ensure that its integrity is not compromised. It has already been shipped to Wal-Mart in the US and is now actively being marketed in the UK.
