The advantage of situational judgement tests lies in their objectivity, as they do not necessitate a human evaluator or assessor. Human assessors can potentially introduce unconscious bias into the assessment process. Through situational judgement testing, we reduce the likelihood of unconscious bias at this stage in the recruitment process, thereby ensuring that high performers are not excluded due to irrelevant demographic factors. Our assessments are meticulously crafted with inclusivity as a primary consideration.
Research has shown that situational judgement tests are effective and reliable predictors of real-world job performance. Moreover, they show "incremental" validity over and above ability tests and personality questionnaires, offering unique insight into a candidate's potential. With our situational judgement tests, you can confidently identify and predict the future success of your applicants.
