Why This Matters

Assessments provide an objective way to measure candidates’ skills, abilities, and behavioral tendencies, helping your team make more informed hiring decisions. The Assessments Page makes it easy to:

• Access all available assessments in one location.
• Send and track candidate assessments quickly.
• View sample reports to understand scoring and insights.
• Combine behavioral and ability assessments for a more holistic evaluation.
• Build custom tests that align with your organization’s unique hiring needs.

This ensures a consistent, fair, and data-backed approach to evaluating every candidate.

Use Cases

• Recruiters: Quickly send preconfigured assessments to candidates for screening.
• Hiring Managers: Pair behavioral and ability tests to evaluate both personality and aptitude.
• Agencies: Use the centralized library to manage multiple clients’ assessments.
• HR Teams: Create and deploy custom assessments aligned with company-specific skills.

Best Practices

• Avoid duplication: Don’t send multiple behavioral assessments that measure similar traits to the same candidate (e.g., SL Behavioral, IC Behavioral, Big Five Personality, or Work Styles DISCovered).
• Pair assessments wisely: Use SL Behavioral or IC Behavioral together with Sales Ability or IC Ability for enhanced accuracy.
• Use the search function to locate specific assessments quickly.
• Preview before sending: Always review the sample report to ensure it aligns with your job requirements.
• Leverage custom assessments: Use the Custom Assessment Builder to tailor evaluations for niche or specialized roles.
