Presentation

Presentation skills are the abilities needed to deliver a clear, informative, and engaging presentation to an audience. This includes the ability to develop and organize your content, use effective visuals, and deliver your presentation in a confident and engaging manner. They are essential for any professional who needs to share information with others, whether it is a product launch, a sales pitch, or a research finding.

Effective presenters are able to engage their audience, keep them interested, and deliver their message clearly and concisely. They also know how to use visual aids effectively to support their message and make it more memorable.

Presentation skills are especially important for professionals in roles that require frequent communication with others, such as sales, marketing, and teaching. However, they are also valuable for professionals in all fields, as they can help to improve communication and collaboration.

Here are some of the key elements of effective presentation skills:

Know your audience: Tailor your presentation to the needs and interests of your audience. What do they already know about your topic? What do they need to know?
Have a clear message: What is the main point you want to make? Make sure your message is clear and concise, and that it is supported by your presentation content.
Be organized: Organize your presentation in a logical way, with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.
Use visuals effectively: Visual aids can help to make your presentation more engaging and memorable. Use them to illustrate key points and to break up your text.
Practice, practice, practice!: The more you practice, the more confident and comfortable you will be delivering your presentation.

Our Customers Say

I was at WooliesX (Woolworths) and we used Alooba and it was a highly positive experience. We had a large number of candidates. At WooliesX, previously we were quite dependent on the designed test from the team leads. That was quite a manual process. We realised it would take too much time from us. The time saving is great. Even spending 15 minutes per candidate with a manual test would be huge - hours per week, but with Alooba we just see the numbers immediately.

Shen Liu, Logickube (Principal at Logickube)

We get a high flow of applicants, which leads to potentially longer lead times, causing delays in the pipelines which can lead to missing out on good candidates. Alooba supports both speed and quality. The speed to return to candidates gives us a competitive advantage. Alooba provides a higher level of confidence in the people coming through the pipeline with less time spent interviewing unqualified candidates.

How can you accurately assess somebody's technical skills, like the same way across the board, right? We had devised a Tableau-based assessment. So it wasn't like a past/fail. It was kind of like, hey, what do they send us? Did they understand the data or the values that they're showing accurate? Where we'd say, hey, here's the credentials to access the data set. And it just wasn't really a scalable way to assess technical - just administering it, all of it was manual, but the whole process sucked!

Cole Brickley, Avicado (Director Data Science & Business Intelligence)

I wouldn't dream of hiring somebody in a technical role without doing that technical assessment because the number of times where I've had candidates either on paper on the CV, say, I'm a SQL expert or in an interview, saying, I'm brilliant at Excel, I'm brilliant at this. And you actually put them in front of a computer, say, do this task. And some people really struggle. So you have to have that technical assessment.
