Shorter, smarter assessments drive higher completion rates; help organizations build stronger teams
symplr, a leading provider of enterprise healthcare operations software, announced the launch of the Short Form Staff Assessment, a new feature in symplr Assessments that empowers healthcare organizations to make faster, more confident hiring decisions. Designed specifically for staff-level positions, the new Short Form Assessment reduces the time it takes candidates to complete their application by about 40%, delivering a faster, more engaging experience with a reported 53% reduction in drop-offs before completion.
Developed in collaboration with international scholar, Frederick P. Morgeson, Ph.D., a prominent figure in human resource management, the assessment is tailored to predict retention and measure essential competencies for healthcare success, such as accountability, communication, customer focus, emotional evenness, and teamwork.
