Indeed unveils latest upgrades to its Assessments platform

Major job portal Indeed has recently announced in a blog post a slew of new features to its automated candidate screening solution.

The new skills test bundling feature allows employers to add up to two skills tests to each job posting, or send multiple skills tests to applicants. This tool helps recruiters find candidates that best meet the necessary skill sets for the role, and allows applicants to show off their applicable skills. 

"For example, if an employer is adding a job posting for a Marketing Manager position on Indeed.

These skills tests will then be automatically sent to applicants once they have applied."
