Depending on the organization, assessments can be used to provide help to struggling families, addicts, and even the homeless. They can ensure help is given to those who need them. Work environments use them to place the best individual into the right position. If a business had 200 applicants to their job listing and they only have 5 openings then using an assessment will lower that amount significantly. A workplace not using an assessment when hiring a few people allows them to hold 1-on-1 interviews in which they can assess the applicants themselves and determine if they would be a good fit for the position
