Explore a workplace situation and consider the available responses. The full test uses a consistent set of situations to help you compare candidates’ judgement.

Remote WorkWorkplace scenario

You're in the middle of an important remote team meeting, and you encounter technical issues with your video conferencing software. Your video feed freezes, and you can't hear other participants.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Using Remote Work in recruitment.

What does the Remote Work test assess?

Each question describes a remote situation, such as technical problems during a meeting or a task that stalls while waiting for a reply, and asks what the candidate would do. The strongest answers communicate early, keep others informed and organise their own time. It measures judgement about working remotely, not technical set-up.

How can you use the Remote Work results?

Use the result to shortlist, then ask finalists how they structured a week of remote work and how they handled a delay. Pair the test with a communication or time management test, and with the relevant skills tests for the role itself.

Which situations matter for your role?

  • Distributed teamsCommunicating and collaborating at a distance.
  • Independent rolesConsidering how to organise work without close supervision.
  • Remote supportResponding when communication or technology creates a problem.

BEFORE YOU START

Your Remote Work questions, answered.

Does the Remote Work test show how someone will behave at work?

It shows how candidates choose to respond to workplace situations. A selected response does not establish how they will behave in real work. Ask for a relevant example at interview.

Which Remote Work topics should matter for my role?

Start with the work the person will do. This page covers independent working, remote communication, managing collaboration. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.

Can I combine Remote Work with other tests?

Yes. Add Remote Work alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.

Can I assess real candidates for free?

Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.

What happens after my free results?

You pay per candidate result you unlock, rather than per test. There is no subscription or annual commitment. Check the pricing page for current rates.

How should I use the Remote Work results?

Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
