  • What is a promoter skills test?

    Promoters are hired to sell the specific benefits of a business, product or service. They tend to be adept at sales, marketing and communication in order to succeed at the role.

    The promoter skills test will help you hire a promoter by giving you a unique chance to examine the specific skills, characteristics and attributes you’re looking for in a promoter, before meeting with interested applicants in person.

    The timed test ultimately makes your recruitment process more efficient by cutting down the time it takes you to find a suitable candidate, and strengthening the quality of your hires.

    Skills tests are designed specifically for the role you’re hiring for, so they’re a really effective way to improve your process.

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

    Diversity and inclusion is becoming more and more important to employers and candidates looking for fairness and quality in the workplace. Using a skills test such as this as a pre-screening device is a great start when it comes to making your hiring practices fairer.

    This is because it gives every applicant the same opportunity to be judged by the same standard. Unlike a resume review, which can be fraught with unconscious or conscious bias.

    Pre-screening also helps employers to speed up the recruitment process, make better hires and ultimately spend less money on the process from start to finish.

    The promoter skills test will put candidates under pressure by asking them a series of questions related to the typical demands of the role. This can include communication and customer service skills, the ability to present ideas, a strong knowledge of sales and marketing best practice and principles, and understanding of your product or specialism.

    The test will cover a mix of practical and soft skills, so recruiters and employers get a fuller picture of each interested individual.

    As well as a useful hiring tool when you’re looking to find a new promoter, you can also use the promoter skills test if you’re looking to recruit a:

How our test measures promoter 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 a promoter 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 promoter test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
