How Basic Excel Skills Tests Help You Make Better Hires
Most jobs require at least basic computer knowledge. However, determining which candidates have a good understanding of commonly used applications such as MS Word and Excel can be challenging. Information on resumes and applications is often inaccurate because over 77% of applicants embellish their qualifications and around 65% overstate their capabilities, especially when they apply for jobs where there is a lot of competition.
The vast majority of businesses require Excel proficiency for most of the jobs they post. This means HR professionals must determine whether candidates have the necessary skills and experience. However, that can be difficult if they are not advanced Excel users.
Many global organizations use assessments such as Excel basic skills tests to screen applicants because they provide measurable data regarding candidates’ abilities. This enables them to make data-driven hiring decisions instead of relying on “gut” feel and (possibly) incorrect information on resumes.
