Bring Public Sector Job Candidate Screening Into the 21st Century With IPMA-HR Online Services

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 5, 2020 – Just in time for the launch of new hiring and promotional tests for government customer service providers, wastewater facility operators and managers, and fire marshals, the International Public Management Association for Human Resources rolled out expanded online test administration services and live remote proctoring.

Online test administration cuts down on paperwork, eliminates all mailing, permits secure testing from virtually anywhere and reduces the wait for candidates’ scores to as little as one business day. Further simplifying and streamlining the testing process, live remote proctoring eases administrative burdens on agencies and departments of all sizes while also accommodating the schedules and preferences of test-takers. Count on IPMA-HR to provide a secure testing environment and test-taker identity verification at any time and any place that a job applicant or promotion candidate has access to a computer with high-speed internet service.
