Event Coordinator Test

When looking to fill an event coordinator position, it's important to make sure that the candidate has the skills necessary to do the job. An event coordinator skills test can help ensure that the candidate is a good fit for the position.

  • What is an event coordinator skills test?

    Event coordinators plan and execute events. This could be events in the hospitality, music, party, wedding or business sectors.

    The event coordinator skills test has been specially designed so employers can probe interested applicants on the core skills and characteristics needed to succeed in the industry.

    The skills test should be used early on in the process so you can streamline the time it takes to get from launching a job advert to hire, and so you can ensure you meet with only the best candidates.

    The test looks at everything from an individual’s prioritization and project management skills, to how well they communicate and work as part of a team.

  • What are the benefits of using the event coordinator skills test for pre-screening?

    Pre-screening is an effective way to cut down the costs, time and energy associated with hiring. If you use a skills test such as the event coordinator skills test before even reviewing resumes, you can make decisions on who to interview based on a minimum required standard.

    The skills test is also a good way of removing unconscious bias from your recruitment, which can be an attractive prospect for candidates. If every interested applicant is set the same test at the start of the process, each one has the same chance of success.

    The timed test usually includes multiple-choice questions that cover the various different practical and soft skills required to be an event coordinator.

    As well as error checking skills, time management, prioritization and planning, the questions will also seek to understand how good each candidate is at communicating, working with others and keeping a cool head in stressful situations.

How our test measures event coordinator 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 be an event coordinator 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 event coordinator test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
