About this Test
Use the Administrative Assistant/Clerical Test to screen your administrative candidates for routine office skills and clerical procedures.
Purpose
The Administrative Assistant/Clerical Test will help you identify the person who can deal with routine office assignments and clerical procedures as well as someone who can adapt to your office environment and your company culture.
What It’s Best Used For
This test is best used during early-stage recruitment to verify core organizational habits and basic documentation accuracy for secretarial or general clerical applicants before investing time and money into employee training.
- Evaluating Grammar & Spelling Accuracy: It measures a candidate’s comfort level with daily written communications, identifying common proofreading errors through 25 multiple-choice questions.
- Vetting Filing & Organization Capabilities: The test checks an applicant’s ability to categorize and sort documentation efficiently through an 80-question records management segment.
- Verifying Office Cultural Fit: It evaluates standard work habits and behavioral traits to determine how cleanly a clerk will integrate into your existing staff setup and organizational culture.
- Screening for Routine Clerical Tiers: The modules track execution skills specifically tailored for routine, less mentally demanding administrative jobs that prioritize procedure over strategic decisions.
