  • What are the benefits of using the electronic technician skills test for pre-screening?

    Ensuring a successful hire is the key objective of any recruitment drive, but it’s very rarely an easy task. Hiring teams must carefully assess candidates on a range of factors including their qualifications, experience, skills and professional behaviors.

    A resume on its own cannot provide evidence of all of this, particularly when it comes to skills and behaviors. An individual can easily refer to the necessary qualities in their application, but the reality may prove somewhat different, making it difficult to shortlist candidates based on their real-world potential.

    By using an electronic technician skills test for pre-screening, you eliminate this problem and bring increased efficiency to the recruitment process.

    Each candidate is tested for essential knowledge and the ability to apply it through skills like problem solving, communication and teamwork. You get assurance of their mechanical, numerical and logical reasoning skills, as well as insight into their working preferences, for example, how they like to receive instruction or how they like to be managed.

    Score reports are generated on completion of the test, giving you the data you need to make well-informed decisions. This data is objective, removing unconscious bias from the shortlisting process, and easy to compare so you can quickly narrow down the applicant pool.

    The electronic technician skills test has been designed by experts in the field and rigorously tested. This ensures a reliable screening tool that helps you find the most promising talent for your organization.

    The electronic technician test is a great addition to a recruitment process when recruiters want to know that they are hiring the most skilled candidates for many roles, such as:

How our test measures electronic technician 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 is a candidate 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 be an electronic technician 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 electronic technician test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
