Skills Assessment
A skills test can be done through activities or assignments in which candidates work on a problem similar to what they will face in the role and offer a solution. A skills test can be taken in a variety of ways. For example, a potential editor could edit a document they could be exposed to during employment. This could take place in-house, prior to a peer interview. Ultimately, how to implement the process is dependent on the nature of the role and the skills your team feel are crucial to test.
Taking the time to evaluate your candidates with real examples of the work they will perform is a critical step to ensure you hire the best talent. These tests are a key predictor of whether a candidate will be able to handle the challenges of the role and drive success for the organization.
