About TheLinksGuy
TheLinksGuy (TLG) is a premier link-building agency that helps well-established brands and growing businesses increase their online visibility. Known for their emphasis on quality and innovation, TLG is dedicated to delivering exceptional results for their clients.
To maintain their high standards, TLG needed to recruit top-tier talent capable of upholding the agency’s reputation for excellence. However, their existing recruitment process faced several challenges, prompting them to explore proctoring solutions. This search led them to OnlineExamMaker (OEM).
Challenges in Recruitment
Before integrating OnlineExamMaker, TLG faced multiple issues that impacted the efficiency and reliability of their hiring process:
1. Ensuring Test Integrity: The systems previously used lacked effective proctoring capabilities, leaving TLG unable to verify whether candidates completed assessments independently.
2. Need for Customization: The recruitment process required specialized questions to evaluate niche skills specific to link building, which many platforms could not accommodate.
3. Operational Delays: Manual grading processes and cumbersome interfaces slowed down the recruitment cycle, delaying decision-making.
4. Cost Efficiency: Many available solutions were prohibitively expensive, making them impractical for the volume of candidates TLG needed to assess.
How OnlineExamMaker Addressed These Issues?
The team at TheLinksGuy adopted OnlineExamMaker to streamline their recruitment process, addressing these pain points with tailored features and tools:
● Proctoring Capabilities: OnlineExamMaker’s advanced proctoring features ensured test integrity by monitoring candidates during assessments, providing reliable results for informed hiring decisions. For example, the person marking the assessment could judge if the person was away from the camera too many times. If there were loud noises on the microphone if multiple faces were detected, among other observations.
The flexibility of OnlineExamMaker’s proctoring settings also allowed for some level of leniency, – so that candidates could either be failed during the test on the basis of breaking some rules, or for breaking them after a certain number of times. Or it could simply be set to “0” which allowed the human marking the exam, to look at the report and make that decision themself.
● Customizable Assessments: The platform enabled TLG to design bespoke questions that aligned with their specific requirements, ensuring evaluations were directly relevant to the skills needed.
● Efficient Workflow: Automated grading and a user-friendly interface reduced administrative workload, allowing TLG to assess and onboard candidates faster. Essential since they were trying to assess large volumes of candidates for 3 main job roles.
● Cost-Effective Solution: OnlineExamMaker’s scalable pricing model supported high-volume candidate assessments without exceeding budget constraints.
