Recruitment and Selection

The basic level test for recruitment and selection focuses on fundamental principles and practices, central to the initiation and maintenance of the UK employment lifecycle. 

It begins with assessing the core of the job analysis process, testing candidates’ ability to identify necessary skills and qualifications. Progressing through the test, candidates encounter questions on effective sourcing methods in today's recruitment landscape, emphasising social media as a modern and dynamic talent acquisition platform. The test further evaluates candidates' knowledge of the sequential steps following the resume screening, such as initial phone screenings to pre-qualify candidates' cultural fit and role suitability.

Structured interviews feature prominently, assessing candidates' understanding of consistent and objective evaluation methods. A pivotal goal of this phase is to enable new interviewers to apply a level of standardisation to their interviewing techniques, which is evaluated through scenario-based queries.

Lastly, the onboarding process—a crucial factor in employee retention and role adaptation—is addressed, assessing candidates' understanding of best practices for integrating new hires into an organisation. By the end of this basic level test, candidates are expected to demonstrate a foundational knowledge of recruitment and selection processes, laying a groundwork for effective practice in their HR roles.
