Employment and Job Skills Testing FAQs

How do I choose the right test for a role?

Employment tests should match the skills, traits and competencies needed for success in the position you’re hiring for.
Follow these steps to choose the right one:

1. Define the role by clearly identifying key responsibilities, required hard and soft skills, experience level and work environment (e.g., remote, team-based, high-pressure).

2. Identify the type of test(s) needed. Different roles call for different assessments. Common test or assessment types include cognitive ability, skills, personality, situational judgment, emotional intelligence and integrity.

3. Match the test to the job. For instance, an accounting role might require a QuickBooks or math test; a sales manager might benefit from a personality test and situational judgment test; a customer service agent may need a communication skills and personality assessment.

4. Confirm fairness and compliance. The test must be validated, non-discriminatory and compliant with EEOC and labor laws.

5. Pilot the test. Have current employees or a small candidate group take it to confirm relevance, clarity and predictive value.

Yes, employment skills tests are acceptable if they comply with federal requirements, primarily those enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Tests must be:

  • Job-related: Measure skills or traits directly tied to job duties
  • Consistent with business necessity: Essential for safe and effective job performance
  • Non-discriminatory: Must not intentionally or unintentionally exclude protected groups (e.g., race, sex, age, disability, national origin)
  • Uniformly administered: All candidates for the same role should take the same test under similar conditions
  • Validated: Employers should validate tests using one of these EEOC-approved methods:
    • Content validation – reflects actual job tasks
    • Criterion-related validation – scores predict job performance
    • Construct validation – measures traits essential for success

Adhere to legal standards, sound validation practices and inclusive design principles to keep employment testing fair and unbiased.

  • Follow EEOC guidelines to prevent discrimination:
    • Tests must be job-related and consistent with business necessity
    • Avoid adverse impact (if a test disproportionately screens out a protected group, it must be justified by business need)
    • Provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities under the ADA
  • Use validated tests that accurately measure job-relevant skills and predict performance
  • Reduce bias by using non-verbal reasoning tests, involving diverse reviewers and conducting external validation studies
  • Keep testing consistent with the same instructions, environment and time limits for all candidates; structured scoring helps avoid subjective judgments
  • Monitor outcomes by regularly reviewing test data for exclusion patterns and adjusting as needed
  • Gather candidate feedback to identify barriers or bias you may not have noticed
  • Maintain documentation by keeping records of job analysis, validation studies, revisions and accommodations to support compliance and continuous improvement
Yes, when used properly, skills tests can lead to stronger, fairer and more efficient hiring decisions. Research shows they can:
  • Identify candidates who truly have the skills for the job, not just those with impressive resumes
  • Provide consistent, data-driven insights
  • Reduce unconscious bias and support fair hiring practices
  • Lower turnover and improve long-term performance and satisfaction
  • Streamline hiring by filtering out unqualified applicants early, saving time on interviews
  • Strengthen compliance and reduce legal risk by supporting fair, objective hiring
Yes. Using employment skills tests for internal promotions promotes fairness and helps ensure the right people advance. They can:
  • Base promotion decisions on proven skills — not tenure, popularity or personal opinion
  • Reduce favoritism and encourage transparency
  • Confirm readiness for new responsibilities
  • Identify training needs before a promotion is finalized
The timing depends on the purpose of the test. Skills or knowledge tests often work best early in the process to screen candidates efficiently, while personality or situational judgment tests may be more useful once you’ve narrowed down your pool. Whatever the timing, make sure all candidates for the same role are tested at the same stage to maintain fairness and consistency.
Review tests at least every one to two years or whenever job duties change significantly. Regular reviews help ensure the test still reflects the role’s current requirements and continues to produce reliable, unbiased results.
Yes. Even validated tests can lead to poor decisions if misinterpreted. Provide basic training on how to read score reports, integrate results with interviews and reference checks, and recognize the limits of what a test can measure. This promotes consistency and better hiring decisions.
No. Unfortunately online or digital tests cannot be returned. To be sure you are purchasing the test you need, please email us (service@hrdirect.com) and request a sample test.
