When it comes to certain jobs, location plays a crucial role.
Having employees who live in close proximity to their workplace ensures that they can fulfill their responsibilities effectively.
As experts in pre-hire assessments, the ThriveMap team collaborates closely with our customers to understand their challenges and needs.
So, when one of our clients expressed their struggle with a high volume of candidates applying for roles outside the desired location proximity, our team was determined to find a simple and effective solution.
To address this challenge, we developed a question type in our pre-hire assessment tool called the “Commute Calculator.”
The question type allows candidates to calculate the estimated travel time to their potential workplace by using a Google Maps integration.
With just a few clicks, candidates can input their preferred mode of transportation and desired arrival time, enabling them to gauge the feasibility of commuting to the job location.
ThriveMap’s Commute Calculator empowers candidates to calculate their travel time to work, enabling them to make informed decisions about job opportunities based on location.
By utilizing location-based assessments, organizations can streamline their hiring process, enhance the candidate experience, and make more informed decisions about prospective employees.
