Skills Testing FAQs
What is a pre-employment skills test?
A pre-employment skills test is an online assessment that measures whether a candidate can actually perform the tasks a role requires — such as typing speed, Microsoft Excel proficiency or software development knowledge. RightPeople's skills tests are delivered directly over the web, so every applicant can be screened before you invest time in interviews.
Which skills tests does RightPeople offer?
RightPeople offers more than 100 modular skills tests across eight topic areas: typing and data entry, maths and English, Microsoft Office, web development, hardware and networking, operating systems, application development and databases. Tests can be combined into a single tailored assessment, and custom questions can be added for specialised roles.
Do candidates need special software to take a skills test?
No. RightPeople's skills tests run entirely in a web browser, with no software to download or install. Candidates receive a secure link and can complete their assessment from any location, which keeps the screening process fast and accessible for every applicant.
Can multiple skills be combined into one assessment?
Yes. RightPeople's online testing platform builds valid, job-based assessments by combining multiple subjects and skill levels into a single test. A reception role might combine typing, English spelling and Microsoft Outlook, while a developer role might combine JavaScript, SQL and software testing.
Can skills tests be used for training and development?
Yes. Beyond recruitment screening, RightPeople's skills tests work as development tools that identify the specific skills an employee needs to improve. Scores and detailed answer solutions can be emailed directly to the candidate, and one-to-one training with expert trainers is available for people wanting to lift their proficiency quickly.
