Since so many people are currently unemployment, businesses across the nation are finding themselves overwhelmed by the huge number of resumes they receive for each available job listing they post online. Weeding out candidates can be difficult without some form of hiring assessment, which can explain why many companies providing these employee tests continue to extend their services.

According to a recent press release, SurePayroll has just launched its pre-employment screening services geared toward assisting small businesses in assessing potential new hires. Amongst these services are background checks, behavioral assessments, skills testing, personal development tests and drug screening. All of SurePayroll’s products will be available to small business owners with out the necessity of a long-term contract.

Since many smaller companies don’t have the budget to pay for a year’s worth of these products, offering such services without a contract makes perfect sense. Businesses with fewer employees tend to only need hiring assessments and pre-employment screening when they have a position they are trying to fill, meaning that their need is only temporary. Because of this, a large percentage of said companies would skip using these products altogether if they were not offered in this or a similar fashion.

“Small business employers can’t afford mistakes when it comes to the health of their businesses, so it’s essential for them to know the people they bring to their teams are top-notch and will contribute to growth and success, and not waste time and money,” said SurePayroll’s Vice President of Product Management Steve Kania in the recent release. “We designed our screening services to provide businesses thorough, affordable ways to recruit only the best talent and avoid costly hiring mistakes. And we’ve made them convenient to access and use whenever small businesses need them.”

The price of SurePayroll’s product depends on the type of employment testing needed, but some services start as low as $21.95.
