What is the difference between Talent Assessment and pre-employment screening?

Pre-employment screening usually refers to factual checks such as right-to-work, qualifications, references and background checks. Talent assessment is the deeper evaluation of how well a candidate matches the role on skills, behaviours, ability and fit. The two are complementary. Screening confirms a candidate is eligible to be hired. Assessment helps you predict how well they will perform once hired.
