Use Case

Companies want to consider more than just resumes and academic records during the initial screening process. CYQUEST online assessments support the (pre-)selection of applicants through internet-based tests, enable early, reliable, and comparable assessments, and provide a more holistic picture of suitability, potential, and cultural fit.

The processes combine valid diagnostics with employer branding elements, increase acceptance among candidates, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing applicant management processes. They also help improve recruitment quality, increase the number of suitable applications, and reduce misjudgments, mismatches, and dropouts.

CYQUEST offers a wide range of validated online assessment methods for personnel selection, personnel development, and personnel marketing. Companies can choose pre-designed assessment packages for specific target groups or develop a customized online assessment based on a requirements analysis.

For colleges and universities, Online Study Orientation tools provide scalable support for realistic study decisions. They offer interactive insights into degree programs, assess interests, aptitudes, and academic suitability, and help reduce poor decisions and dropout rates while strengthening institutional branding and applicant confidence.
