Hiring Test to Screen Possible Candidates for Data Knowledge

Gauging an Applicant’s Basic Data Knowledge and Abilities

This test is intended to gauge an applicant’s basic data knowledge and abilities.  Applicants are to go through all the tabs in order and follow the instructions in the red boxes. 

Hiring managers can administer this test as they see fit:

  • they can email it to the applicant after a phone interview to see if they want to offer them an in-person or second interview
  • it can be completed after the interview to determine whether the applicant has the basic skills needed for the position
  • if the person is the right choice for the company because of mission-fit and soft skills, it can be used as a training assessment

This also allows employees to assess if the job is the right fit for them.
