  • What are the benefits of using the community manager skills test for pre-screening?

    Employers are becoming more and more reliant on pre-screening devices such as skills tests, to help modernize and improve internal hiring processes. As well as the time and cost-saving benefits we've mentioned, skills tests can also improve staff retention and overall job satisfaction by ensuring you hire the right person.

    Removing unconscious bias from recruitment is also a huge benefit of using a skills test such as this. By giving every candidate the same test to take, and making decisions on who to interview based solely on the results, everyone gets the same chance at success.

    Many for-profit and nonprofit organizations are even utilizing tests such as this before reading through resumes to further streamline the hiring process and make sure time invested in face-to-face meetings is done with the right person or people.

    The questions on the test are designed to probe each individual's knowledge of the community manager basics. This includes knowledge of different social media platforms, interpreting analytics and developing strategies for growth.

    But soft skills such as communication, project management, accountability and interpersonal skills are also examined.

How our test measures community management skills

Test questions are designed to assess industry-specific technical skills, soft skills, aptitude and suitable personality dimensions. Our data-driven approach provides results that enable you to determine how suited a candidate is for the role.

Depending on the type of question, the format of the test may vary. Multiple-choice questions are used to measure aptitude, technical skills and soft skills, while agreement on a Likert scale assesses suitable personality dimensions. Skills tests ensure that candidates are being evaluated in a precise and impartial manner, their results demonstrating the true knowledge and potential of each test taker.

The characteristics required to become a community manager were determined by looking at the skills and abilities listed in the US Department of Labor's O*NET database, which collects data from professionals in various fields.

O*NET is the largest database of its kind, providing detailed information about occupations and the requirements for each role.

Our team of I/O psychologists and psychometrics worked closely with subject-matter experts to create an extensive question bank that can be used to test multiple candidates. We also conducted rigorous field testing with a representative sample of candidates to ensure that the questions were reliable and valid.

Test scores are averaged together to give an overall score. The average score is compared to other candidates' scores to ensure there is no bias toward certain candidates.

Our community manager test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
