FREMONT, CA: Cognitive assessment assesses candidates’ logical and abstract thinking, as well as their numerical and verbal reasoning. These assessments provide good insights into the overall talents of the nominee. The pre-employment or pre-interview assessment is a tool used to determine and evaluate applicants’ skills. A series of variables from ability level to cultural fitness can be assessed through evaluation. Here are a few examples of various tests.
Hard Skills: Tests will test the competence of applicants in particular skills such as computer literacy. Hard ability evaluations provide additional information on the competency of an applicant, particularly if heavy use of this particular skill is needed for the position.
Work sample: This type of assessment enables applicants to perform the same tasks they will perform at work. Examples include assessments designed for situational judgments and technical coding tests. Because the job sample evaluation mimics job responsibilities, the results strongly predict the applicant’s performance.
