Additionally, building rapport with candidates remotely may require extra effort to create a comfortable testing environment. Assessors must also be adept at using digital assessment tools and managing time effectively to provide fair and timely feedback. Collaborating with other assessors or coordinators is typically done through online communication platforms, requiring clear and consistent virtual communication.
