They provide numerous advantages to the candidates, for example:<\/p>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input\"><strong>1.) Flexibility<\/strong><br \/>\nOnline assessments provide candidates with the chance of being independent of time and location.

Usability<\/strong><br \/>\nToday\u2019s online assessment measures are often characterised by a clever user experience as well as being simple and intuitive to use.
