Skills Testing and Assessment

Skill testing is the only truly quantifiable measurement of a job candidate or an employees ability. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly it is also a key area where many candidates genuinely under or overrate themselves.

Horizon offers employers validated and comprehensive performance based results, utilising the world's leading testing software program. Skillcheck tests are normed locally and globally, ensuring meaningful benchmarks for every assessment conducted. Results reveal an applicants performance in terms of knowledge, productivity and accuracy. Reports are detailed and allow assessment of specific strengths and weaknesses in any given skill set.

If you are doing your own recruitment, skill testing will assist you in making better employment selection decisions by accurately assessing your candidates level of expertise. All for only $47.00 plus GST per test.
