Why Situational Judgment Tests?

increased certainty

They allow you to assess with increased certainty whether a candidate fits a role or organisational culture, especially when it is difficult to assess experience. They save time because they modernize the process of screening candidates and eliminate the requirement to review a large number of CVs. Assessment works both ways. 72% of candidates reported that they would rather accept an offer from a company that used a multimedia approach in its selection process.
