  • What are the benefits of using the bank teller skills test for pre-screening?

    A bank teller is often the first point of contact for a customer at the bank, helping them to complete transactions, make withdrawals, and provide advice. There are not usually specific qualifications needed for this role, other than basic education - which makes finding suitable applicants (even those with previous experience) a little more challenging.

    With a wide range of daily tasks falling to the bank teller, from counting money to helping customers, the skills that a successful applicant must demonstrate range from soft skills like communication, teamwork, and organization to aptitudes like logical reasoning and excellent numeracy. Assessing each candidate that has applied for the role against these skills is not an easy task, especially when reading a CV or an application form - and in some cases it is not straightforward when it comes to an interview, either.

    With the bank teller test, recruiters can see exactly which candidates are able to deal patiently and professionally with customers, provide excellent service, and complete daily tasks such as counting and packaging currency, promoting the bank's products and services, and communicating with other team members.

    Every candidate is faced with the same series of questions, which makes the results unbiased. The data provided by the test will show which of the candidates have the right level of knowledge, skill, and aptitude - those that can demonstrate this will meet or exceed the determined benchmark score.

    Due to the specific skills and knowledge assessed on the bank teller test, this might also be useful for evaluating candidates applying for any financial role that involves direct involvement with clients and customers.

How our test measures bank teller skills

Test questions are designed to assess industry-specific technical skills, soft skills, aptitude and suitable personality dimensions. Our data-driven approach provides results that enable you to determine how suited is a candidate for the role.

Depending on the type of question, the format of the test may vary. Multiple-choice questions are used to measure aptitude, technical skills and soft skills, while agreement on a Likert scale assesses suitable personality dimensions. Skills tests ensure that candidates are being evaluated in a precise and impartial manner, their results demonstrating the true knowledge and potential of each test taker.

The characteristics required to become a bank teller were determined by looking at the skills and abilities listed in the US Department of Labor’s O*NET database, which collects data from professionals in various fields.

O*NET is the largest database of its kind, providing detailed information about occupations and the requirements for each role.

Our team of I/O psychologists and psychometrics worked closely with subject-matter experts to create an extensive question bank that can be used to test multiple candidates. We also conducted rigorous field testing with a representative sample of candidates to ensure that the questions were reliable and valid.

Test scores are averaged together to give an overall score. The average score is compared to other candidates' scores to ensure there is no bias toward certain candidates.

Our bank teller test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
