How to Choose a Computer Skills Testing Partner

Computer skills are required for most jobs, and if new hires do not have the proper knowledge and abilities, it can impede productivity and hurt team morale. Therefore, more and more companies are requiring job candidates to take a computer skills test so they can easily identify qualified candidates.

Tests can measure anything from basic Internet knowledge and data entry skills to advanced MS Office abilities. You can select a test from the company’s library or create a customized test by selecting questions from various tests and adding your own questions. It may also be possible to work with a subject matter expert who will assist you in preparing a computer skills assessment test that is designed to meet the requirements of a specific job.

Leading companies’ testing platforms also integrate seamlessly with popular various HR systems, which enables you to manage your recruiting and hiring process on a single platform instead of juggling multiple systems.
