Benefits of Ability Tests in recruitment

Here are some of the benefits of using ability tests when recruiting for your jobs:

  • Standardized - Traditional cognitive tests are well standardized ensuring that there's less bias in hiring

  • Reliably scored - Most tests are multiple choice, sentence completion, short answer and require the assessees to define the scoring scheme. Due to this the results are directly comparable.

  • Candidate friendly - If designed well and by providing a good test environment, companies can ensure that candidates are more comfortable in answering.
