It's simple to get started. First, visit our Pricing page (each test completed uses one test credit) and then select the green "Order Now" button for your desired package. Then complete the order form. If you are a current client, please add your Account ID or Admin email into the box provided on the form.

You'll receive instructions shortly after the order is submitted, if ordering during business hours (for current clients, credits are added to testing account). You'll then be able to sign into your account dashboard to start the test sessions (or email sessions to applicants). You can use the credits/tokens on any tests. It's easy peasy!

Government entities and other organizations may be eligible to be invoiced, rather than pay by credit card. Please ask!

HR recruiters and hiring managers may have biases that they are not aware of. Using validated pre-hire tests reduces the likelihood of bias that may come from work or education. Our tests follow all EEOC and US Labor Dept.'s Guidelines on Employee Selection.  Test results should be monitored periodically to watch for signs of biases or adverse impact. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) suggests best practices for that process. EmployTest has adverse impact data for many tests in our catalog.

Applicant test scores are an important part of the hiring decision making process, but they are typically only part of it.  Hiring decisions should ideally be based on an overall view of the applicant, which also includes interviews, work experience, work samples, and education (if applicable). Your organization may have other considerations as well.  Tests help complete the entire "picture" of applicants, by providing an independent, non-opinion based understanding of their abilities.

We partner with the top test developers/publishers around the world to bring you the most extensive library of tests available. Every test or assessment question (item) has been developed by a Ph.D. or M.A. level industrial organizational psychologist. These researchers work extensively with subject matter experts in each topic to develop the questions and possible answers. Each test undergoes a thorough validation process to ensure that it accurately and consistently measures the desired skill or competency. This process can include tests being administered to populations to make sure the results are consistent with manager reviews  (that the test accurately predicts skill or lack thereof). Each test is then periodically reviewed to make sure it still accurately measures the desired skill.

Interviews and references can be unreliable and open to different interpretation by your co-workers on the hiring team. Everyone may have a different opinion on which candidate is the best and the tests will provide the definitive answer.  More importantly, however, using tests that follow US Department of Labor's Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection, in addition to EEOC guidelines, is the most responsible and fair way to quickly and accurately assess job applicants' abilities.  Yes, your company could build similar tests internally, but it will result in a large commitment of time and budget.  Our tests will provide the information you need, at a reasonable cost.

Why EmployTest? You'll have a dedicated US-based account manager who you can talk with by phone if needed (email if fine too!). No other company has the extensive lists of tests/profiles to help with your hiring or training process.  Our flexible pricing allows you to start with a modest investment, instead of the thousands required by other assessment vendors.  Finally, our tests are guaranteed to provide accurate results for the skill/knowledge being tested.  No other company guarantees their tests like we do.

Most customers administer 2-3 tests per applicant. You should choose the tests based on the key factors for someone to succeed in the job.

To see which tests will fit best for your jobs, just ask us, via phone or email!  Or you can visit the Test List page and sort by the filters at the top of that page, based on the job function or topic.  We recommend that you sample the desired tests to ensure that each is a relevant test for your job position. Our friendly team can also help you with suggestions and the O*NET database is a great source for desired skills and tests, based on the job description.

The test results are emailed immediately to the test administrator as soon as each test is completed, day, night or weekend.  Results can sometimes land in spam/junk folders so check there too if not received.  You can also view them using the Search for Scores tool on your account dashboard. Summary reports of scores from all candidates are also available as a downloadable report from your account dashboard. The job candidate does not see the score.
