Adam Berman, Director-in-Charge of Kreischer Miller's Human Capital Resources group, was recently interviewed for an article on CareerBuilder.com that discusses the pros and cons of asking candidates to complete test projects or spec work as part of the interview process. In the article, Adam talks about how these test assignments can be beneficial to both the applicant and the hiring company. They can help a candidate get a sense of what their day-to-day will be like in the new role and determine whether they will be a good cultural fit with the company. From a hiring perspective, these projects allow the company to get a good feel for a candidate's work style and skillsets and assess whether their abilities can be applied to the company's needs.
