A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Using Situational Judgement in recruitment.

What does the Situational Judgement test assess?

A situational judgement test presents workplace scenarios and possible responses. Candidates consider what they would do, giving you discussion points about professional judgement and competing priorities.

How can you use the Situational Judgement results?

Ask why the candidate chose a response, what information they would need and when they would involve a colleague. A selected answer does not prove how someone will behave at work. Use relevant experience and interview examples alongside the result.

Which situations matter for your role?

Customer-facing rolesConsidering responses to everyday service situations.
Team rolesBalancing individual actions with the needs of colleagues.

BEFORE YOU START

Your Situational Judgement questions, answered.

Does the Situational Judgement 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 Situational Judgement topics should matter for my role?

Start with the work the person will do. This page covers workplace scenarios, considering responses, professional judgement. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.

Can I combine Situational Judgement with other tests?

Yes. Add Situational Judgement 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 Situational Judgement 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.
