  • What are the benefits of using the maintenance electrician skills test for pre-screening?

    Maintenance electricians are an integral part of many organizations. Their role is to ensure the safe and efficient operation of an organization's electrical machinery. This covers reviewing and monitoring the running of machinery, identifying and repairing electrical faults, and diagnosing any defects within a system before or as they happen.

    Maintenance electricians must have core skills to carry out their responsibilities. This includes strong problem solving and analytical skills, numerical reasoning, adaptability, and effective communication skills.

    Decision making skills are also crucial for any maintenance electrician. These skills are often challenging to evaluate from a CV or an individual alone, especially when candidates state similar experience levels. The maintenance electrician skills test overcomes this barrier by providing recruiters with a means to practically assess candidates on these core skills.

    Individuals that perform well on the test and attain a high score have the skills needed to contribute to the effective running of an organization. These candidates can be progressed to the next stage of the recruitment process. Those that score below the required benchmark can be eliminated from the process.

    The skills of a maintenance electrician are shared by many roles that contribute to the smooth running of an organization's operations. This makes the test a beneficial addition to the recruitment process for several roles, such as

    • Electrical engineer
    • Production supervisor
    • Maintenance manager

How our test measures maintenance electrician 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 a maintenance electrician 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 maintenance electrician test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
