In digital advertising, great salespeople are hard to find

• Exoclick: A proprietary software that offers a wide range of ad formats, user targeting, and analytics tools to advertisers, agencies, traffic distributors, and publishers worldwide.
• EXADS: A SaaS solution that powers websites and massive ad networks
• AdSecure: An ad verification technology used by ad networks, ad operations teams, and publishers.

As the company's Talent Acquisition and Retention Manager, Clara Elias Albajes helps manage the entire recruitment cycle for these essential roles.

“The challenge for me is finding a good candidate for a position that is quite niche. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of high-quality candidates for this position. Because of this, we have to move the hiring process forward as quickly as possible because people are usually having interviews in other companies, and we may lose the candidate if we take too long.” - Clara Elias Albajes, Talent Acquisition and Retention Manager, Exoclick

Traditionally, EXOGROUP used in-house tests, often sent as PDFs, to evaluate potential hires. These tests frequently proved too complex for applicants, causing many to drop out at this stage of the hiring process. With high-quality candidates at a premium, Clara simply couldn’t afford to miss out on any talent that cleared the initial HR pre-screening.

Customizing candidate screening with Assessment360

The introduction of Assessment360 to their process marked a significant upgrade. This shift was inspired by a developer who had previously used the product. He emphasized its versatility and depth and encouraged the team at EXOGROUP to try out the platform.

During the trial period, Clara was particularly impressed by how seamlessly Assessment360 fit into her existing workflows. Its built-in features allowed her to invite colleagues to view and evaluate test results in real-time.
