Microsoft Windows test for Applicants

The Microsoft Windows test for applicants verifies their knowledge in the Windows OS, before you hire them.

The ability to manage files and folders, and where to correctly save them, is not a given for all applicants, but our tests will show if they can do these tasks.

Why Windows skills tests matter

When employees know Windows, they’re more productive as they don’t mis-save documents or waste time searching in the wrong spot.

They can jump between programs, organize their desktop, use shortcuts, and handle multiple tasks without getting stuck needing help from co-workers.
