Why is SmallTalk the best choice for automated English language assessment for companies?
Communication is key to the success of every business. It affects our relationships with clients, our reputation, and how our clients or stakeholders understand the product or service we provide.
Today, many people work from home or go to the office a couple of times a week. So, recruiters need a flexible solution to evaluate the English speaking and writing skills of candidates.
Automated tools will help you make the right hiring decision, promote employees, or assign them to projects based on their skills.
