Autopay is a company consisting of 110 employees within the auto loan financing industry. Since they found some current employees making mistakes, they needed assessments to test for detail orientation during the hiring process. The employer tested applicants for the Accounts positions and intended to use the assessments for the Loan Specialist and Business Development Representatives applicants. Autopay had two candidates they were eager to test in order to make a quick decision. The Hire Talent’s pay per test option made it easier for Autopay to act quickly without a long term commitment. If they are pleased with the results they still have a chance to get a better bundle at a later point.

Autopay found the Attention to Detail assessment extremely helpful when hiring for administrative and clerical positions and intend to apply further assessments to two upcoming Sales positions as well.
