A resume tells you where someone worked. A healthcare hiring assessment tells you if they belong on your team.
The Elite Care Profile measures the soft skills that drive real performance in healthcare settings: kindness, reliability, emotional control, teamwork, and patient-first attitude. These are the traits that show up on day one and every day after.
Use it for any role where care and character matter. Hospitals, senior living, home health, and outpatient clinics all run on people who genuinely show up for others.
With EmployTest, you only pay for the tests you need, with flexible pricing and no annual commitments or costly contracts.
This soft skills test for medical staff measures eight behavioral traits that predict how someone will perform in patient-care environments. Every question reflects realistic workplace situations, not personality guesses.
The Elite Care Profile covers:
The test takes under 20 minutes to complete. Results go directly to you the moment your candidate finishes.
Every completed test generates an instant score report. You get a clear picture of each candidate without any guesswork.
This healthcare employee screening test delivers:
For example, a candidate might score in the 94th percentile for kindness but the 40th for emotional control. That tells you exactly where to probe in the interview and what support this person may need on the job.
Reports go to you, not the candidate. Results stay objective from start to finish.
Healthcare turnover is one of the most expensive hiring problems in any industry. Running a pre-employment test for healthcare workers is one of the most practical steps you can take to reduce it.
According to the 2025 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report, the average cost of replacing one staff RN reached $61,110 in 2024. That’s per hire. For a facility dealing with the national hospital RN turnover rate of 16.4%, the financial impact compounds fast.
A behavioral assessment tells you something a resume never can: how a person actually shows up under pressure, around patients, and within a team. SHRM’s 2025 Skills-Based Hiring research found that 78% of organizations using pre-employment assessments report improved quality of hire.
That’s the difference between a hire who stays and a hire who leaves in 90 days.
This behavioral assessment for healthcare works across a wide range of care settings and job types. Use it whenever character and soft skills are non-negotiable for the role.
It works best for:
If someone will interact with patients or work inside a care team, this assessment gives you reliable data before you make an offer.
Getting started takes minutes. Here is how the process works:
This healthcare employee screening test fits any size team. It runs alongside your current ATS or process with no setup required.
What does the Healthcare Staff Assessment measure?
The Elite Care Profile measures eight behavioral traits that matter most in healthcare roles: kindness, work ethic, teamwork, emotional control, attention to detail, dependability, attitude, and willingness to support patients and colleagues. It gives you objective data on how a candidate is likely to behave on the job, not just what they say in an interview.
Will this test show whether a candidate will treat patients with empathy?
Yes. Kindness and patient empathy are two of the core traits the Elite Care Profile evaluates. The scoring reflects how a candidate tends to respond in situations requiring care, patience, and emotional sensitivity. The structured Interview Guide that comes with the report lets you dig deeper into any trait that falls below your target.
Which healthcare roles is this assessment best suited for?
The Elite Care Profile works for any role where patient interaction, teamwork, and character are non-negotiable. That includes CNAs, home health aides, medical assistants, patient care technicians, hospital unit support staff, front office staff, and senior living caregivers. If a person will work directly with or around patients, this test is the right fit.
Why use a behavioral assessment instead of just an interview?
Interviews are easy to prepare for. Behavioral assessments are not. A structured pre-employment test for healthcare workers measures consistent traits across every applicant under the same conditions. SHRM’s 2025 skills-based hiring data shows that 79% of HR professionals now weigh assessment scores as highly as, or more than, education and experience when making hiring decisions.
Can I use this test alongside other EmployTest assessments?
Yes. The Elite Care Profile pairs well with a Cognitive Ability Test for problem-solving and learning speed, and a Basic Computer Skills Test for roles that use EHR systems or scheduling software. Running two or three focused tests gives you a fuller picture of each candidate before the first interview.
How much does this cost?
Pricing is simple and flexible as your needs change. Each test completed uses one test credit. (See pricing for credits)
