What tests should I use?

Test Candidates has a wide selection of tests and of course, which tests you use will very much vary depending on the type of role you are recruiting for, and the specific area(s) of a candidate's ability you wish to test. 

For example, our numerical reasoning test would be extremely useful for measuring the numerical competency of an accountant. However, if you need more insight into accounting applicants' communication skills, the soft skills test would be more appropriate. 

In the Test Candidates library, you'll find the following types of tests:

Aptitude tests - This group of tests includes some of our most popular tests, such as numerical and verbal reasoning, error checking and emotional intelligence. 

Personality - We offer several tests to help you understand your candidates' personality traits, work motivations and interests, in order to help you find the candidate who would fit best in the role you're hiring for. 

Soft skills - These tests use the popular situational judgement format and cover a variety of skills important for the modern workforce, such as leadership, communication, decision making and time management. 

Language tests - Our language tests can help you assess your candidates' fluency in many of the most important business languages today, including English, German, French and Mandarin.
