How Our Skills Assessment
Works
We take a structured, data-backed approach to evaluating candidates:
We break down each job into functional skills, behaviors, and performance indicators—tailored to your actual needs, not generic job descriptions.
Every candidate completes an intake process focused on how they’ve applied skills in real-world roles—not just what’s listed on a resume.
Using platforms like TestGorilla, Vervoe, and Kandio, we run industry-specific simulations, scenario tasks, and technical tests relevant to:
-
Healthcare: EHR simulations, HIPAA quizzes, scheduling logic.
-
Facilities Management: Work order triage, incident response.
-
Admin/Clerical: Typing tests, Microsoft Office, document handling.
-
Human Resources: Policy interpretation, onboarding walkthroughs, conflict resolution.
-
We use validated tools like DiSC and emotional intelligence indicators to evaluate communication, adaptability, and alignment with your company’s culture.
Candidates are scored using a proprietary rubric focused on task accuracy, decision-making, coachability, and overall job readiness.
You get a clear, concise report showing skill validation results, behavior insights, and how soon the candidate can contribute value.

Why Partner with MyHRLane?
Skills-based hiring focuses on what candidates can do rather than where they’ve worked or what degree they hold. Instead of relying solely on resumes, we evaluate real-world capabilities through role-specific assessments, simulations, and behavioral evaluations that directly relate to job success.
We use a combination of tailored simulations, structured interviews, and technical or behavioral assessments. Every assessment is mapped to the actual requirements of the role—ensuring that candidates demonstrate the exact skills they'll need on the job.
We specialize in staffing for healthcare, facilities management, administrative, and HR roles, with customized assessments aligned to each industry’s unique demands—from HIPAA compliance and EHR systems to Excel mastery and policy interpretation.
Our process removes résumé and education bias by using standardized scoring rubrics and structured evaluations. Every candidate is assessed on the same job-relevant criteria, improving diversity and reducing hiring bias.
Yes. We work directly with your team to understand the tools, systems, and expectations unique to your business. Our assessments can be fully customized to reflect your workflows, culture, and compliance requirements.
You’ll receive a Talent Match Report that includes assessment results, skill validation, behavioral insights, and a summary of the candidate’s strengths. This equips you to make confident, evidence-based hiring decisions.
