Order Picker Test

When looking to fill an order picker position, it's important to make sure that the candidate has the skills necessary to do the job. An order picker skills test can help ensure that the candidate is a good fit for the position.

  • What is an order picker skills test?

    An order picker skills test is a pre-screening evaluation used by employers to determine whether a candidate has the required skills needed to be an effective order picker.

    The test is used in the early stages of a recruitment process to filter applicants down to only those with the necessary skills. It comprises various multiple-choice questions designed to evaluate individuals on skills such as time management and attention to detail.

    Candidates that score highly on the assessment have the skills needed to be successful in this role, those who attain scores below the designated benchmark do not demonstrate these necessary skills.

    Using the test in this way enables recruiters to make informed decisions based on an individual's skill set, ensuring those they hire can perform the role to the highest possible standard.

How our test measures order picker 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 order picker 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 order picker test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
