What are Pre-Employment Skills Tests?

Skills tests are a critical part of any pre-employment and development assessment, providing an unbiased measurement of a participant’s ability to perform or understand a duty or technology that is an expected part of their everyday job.

Skill tests can take the form of a variety of questions surrounding tasks a person would perform in office situations, and can be answered easily by someone who has already done the job previously. Some are more immersive and require the participant to actively complete tasks inside a software program to imitate their performance capabilities in a real-life workplace.
