A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using Error Checking in recruitment.
What does the Error Checking test assess?
Each question asks the candidate to find the entry that matches a reference string, or to spot the differences between two records of names, codes or figures. It measures speed and accuracy with detail, which is exactly what processing invoices, checking data entry or reconciling accounts demands. No prior knowledge is needed.
How can you use the Error Checking results?
Use the result to shortlist, then give finalists a short checking task from your own work, such as a batch of invoices to match. Pair error checking with a basic maths test for administrative roles, with a QuickBooks or Excel test for finance support, and with a numerical reasoning test where the role interprets figures as well as checks them.
Where is error checking useful?
- FinanceSpotting mismatches in figures and transaction records.
- AdministrationComparing names, references and entries accurately.
- Data operationsIdentifying discrepancies before information is processed.
Choosing tests for your vacancy
Choose Error Checking when the role requires careful comparison of names, numbers or reference records. Add Basic Math if routine calculations are also important, or Verbal Reasoning for understanding written instructions. Check those abilities separately rather than treating speed at spotting differences as evidence of every office skill.
