Frequently Asked Questions

EmployTest FAQ

Flexible Purchasing Options

Can I purchase a small number of tests, or do I need to buy in bulk?

You can purchase in quantities as small as 5 tests, so small and medium volume users find the EmployTest skills assessment test platform very budget friendly. Check out our pricing for details.

Is there an expiration date for the test credits I purchase?

We don’t require expensive annual contracts to use our employment assessment test platform. You have a full year from the purchase date to use the credits. Not sure how many credits you’ll use? Start with a smaller pack, then easily add more when you need them.

Quality and Variety of Tests

What types of pre-employment tests does EmployTest offer?

We offer basic skills tests and a wide range of industry specific tests, but the most frequently used include the Microsoft skills assessment and attention to detail tests. See the test list here.

Do you offer simulations for technology skills assessments?

EmployTest offers interactive basic computer skills assessments, NOT multiple choice. Each test question is a simulation of a web page or program, such as Microsoft Office.

Do the tests work for hourly or entry-level roles?

Yes. The test library includes assessments at basic, intermediate, and advanced skill levels, so you can match the right test to the role. Many EmployTest customers use skills assessments specifically for high-volume entry-level and administrative hiring, where objective skill data matters most and interview time is limited.

Ease of Use and Accessibility

How easy is it to place an order and use EmployTest’s platform?

It’s simple to use our online skills assessment tests. Just visit our pricing page and choose the credit pack that fits your needs. Soon after you order, you’ll have access to the dashboard so you can email tests to applicants.

Can I quickly find and access the tests I need on your website?

The Test List page shows the commonly used employment assessment tests, which you can filter by category or job. You can request sample tests to confirm they are suitable for your position.

Can candidates take tests remotely?

Yes. Tests are delivered via an emailed link, so candidates complete them from wherever they are. Score reports go directly to the employer and are also stored in the dashboard. For roles where in-person verification matters, you have the option to require a candidate to retest at your office before extending an offer.

Pricing and Value

How does EmployTest compare to other pre-employment testing platforms?

Most testing platforms are built around annual licenses and enterprise contracts, which makes them expensive and inflexible for smaller hiring teams.

The platform is built specifically for organizations that hire at a moderate pace and want accurate candidate data without pricing structures designed for large enterprise teams.

Customer Service and Support

Can I get assistance in selecting the right tests for my needs?

The pre employment assessment test list includes descriptions for each test. We recommend you sample the test to confirm it’s relevant to your open position. We also offer customized assessment tests, which our customers love, because it matches the questions right to their job descriptions.

How does EmployTest ensure customer satisfaction in service and support?

All employment assessment test questions are created by PhD and Master’s level researchers who specialize in that topic. Tests are periodically reviewed to ensure they remain reliable predictors of the ability being measured.

What happens if a candidate does not complete a test?

If a candidate starts a test session but does not finish, the credit can be recovered by deleting the session from your dashboard. Credits return to your account for any tests within that session that were not completed. If a session contains multiple tests and only some were finished, only the incomplete tests return as credits.
