    Sending your candidates the WooCommerce test is the easiest way to measure their skill sets. Doing this early in the recruitment process will save you time and resources conducting interviews with applicants lacking the core skills required, not to mention giving you an unbiased, accurate view of all the candidates' strengths and weaknesses.

    In addition to the technical skills required, a level of organisation, lateral thinking and administration make a great developer a productive team member too. Building and maintaining an e-commerce website is an integral function in a business - so it is important candidates demonstrate the qualities of a communicative, proactive employee.

    Due to the specific nature of the test, it is ideal for finding WooCommerce specialists - these are web developers with particular strengths in building e-commerce websites by using this open-source plugin.

WooCommerce Test FAQs

What is a WooCommerce specialist?

A WooCommerce specialist is a web developer who has considerable experience developing and customising e-commerce stores using this particular WordPress plugin. They should be able to exhibit the ability to configure settings, develop a website and maintain an effective online shop front for your business.

Is the WooCommerce test difficult?

This test is aimed at an intermediate level of proficiency in WooCommerce. Using common misconceptions about the platform, there is little room for guesswork.

What other skills are required for WooCommerce?

Alongside having a good knowledge of the WooCommerce plugin itself, candidates will need to be proficient in PHP and JavaScript computer languages - which enable them to customise the store using advance features, as well as an understanding of security requirements and SEO to help the website perform well and rank highly in search engines.

What certificates/qualifications are important for WooCommerce?

There aren't specific qualifications that are necessary to build a website on WooCommerce, and a lot of highly skilled developers are self-taught - but this leaves room for misleading claims. That's why asking to see a portfolio of previous work, and using the WooCommerce pre-employment test is important.
