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

    A property manager needs to do many things as part of their day-to-day role, and there are not any particular qualifications that are needed. Some candidates might have a degree in something like real estate management or property management, and this might be used as criteria for the paper sift.

    However, other skills are needed for success as a property manager, and these are not as easy to evaluate through a CV or application form.

    Property managers are responsible for the property, taking care of everything from rent collection to maintenance and repairs - so they need to have certain skills and abilities to be successful in the role.

    Property managers should have a good level of commercial knowledge, particularly when it comes to real estate and the property market. They need to be able to manage others, as they will often have maintenance technicians and other people reporting to them as part of their daily role. They will need to be able to communicate well with others and deal with difficult situations, particularly when it comes to collecting rent from private tenants, for example.

    A property manager also needs to be organized and have excellent time management skills, with teamwork and negotiation too.

    The property manager skills test asks questions that are based on the skills and aptitudes that are part of the daily duties. As each candidate answers the questions, they can show that they can communicate well, use negotiation and organizational skills, and keep track of tradesmen and maintenance. This means that the recruitment team will be able to compare the results from each candidate, and only take the ones that score the highest further into the recruitment process - saving both time and money.

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