Clerical Skills Test

Use the Clerical Skills Test to assess your candidates for the personality traits and Excel skills needed in clerical roles.

The Clerical Skills Test helps you to objectively determine an applicant’s clerical skill level before you hire.

Studies by the American Management Association indicate that more than a third of job applicants tested lacked sufficient reading and mathematical skills to perform the jobs they sought. That’s why it is so important to use an employment skills test to measure the ability of your employees to read instructions, write and analyze reports, and handle calculations.

What It’s Best Used For

This pre-screening test is best used during the early recruiting phases or internal talent audits to ensure candidates possess the baseline competencies required to run an efficient workplace.
