A NEW suite of tests designed to help recruiters check candidatesí true level of competence in skills key to the role has been launched by Qwiz, the leaders in competency assessment.
The Qwiz Primary Skills Test assesses the crucial skills needed in administrative and clerical positions as well as in jobs in the light industrial sector.
Phil Bannister, UK Operations Manager at Qwiz, commented: ìOur new test gives recruiters a clear insight into the candidateís ability to perform actual tasks/operations involved in the job including filing names and numbers, following written directions, editing and proofing, forms checking and sorting and coding.
ìJudging the suitability of applicants, especially those new to the type of work, solely by exam results or long-past achievements can lead to poor hiring decisions. The tests take about 5 to 10 minutes each.î
As the tests are available via the Internet, they can be downloaded and used at times convenient for the candidate and recruiter.
Recruiters can trial the test at no charge by contacting Janine Townson, Qwiz Product Support Representative, on 01727 868600 or jtownson@qwiz.co.uk
