I am going to start looking to hire an assistant in the near future. Hopefully, some of my past experience might help me do a better job than I have done in the past in this area.
I have been thinking of using outside tools to assess and test candidates (looking at both skills and personality) so that I make better decisions.
I started googling about it, and came across a few companies in the area. Does anyone have experience or recommendations?
I see services with a great range in pricing. While I do realize that even paying $1,000 for this would be cheaper than a bad hire, if I can get similar results for much less, I wouldn't want to spend so much on it. This is especially true when some of my skills requirements would limit the pool of potential hires to people within the community.
