Knowledge, Skills, Ability assessments for IT

Oxford Score Knowledge, Skills, Ability (KSA) assessment tests help employers verify that a potential employee has the right skillset for the job. KSA assessments are appropriate when the knowledge, skill or ability which they measure are clearly linked to the job and not easily trainable, which is typical of IT jobs.

Jobs may require more than one KSA assessment test. For example, a Unix administrator who needs to write complex scripts as an essential part of his job may be tested for the general knowledge of Unix as well as the ability to write scripts.

The test administration process is automatic and it allows you to select the best candidates fast, before they become unavailable.

Tests are taken on-line by the candidate and, depending on the test, typically consist of 20 questions and take 30 minutes to complete. Each test is timed and test questions are randomly chosen from a large pool. A score between -20% and 100% is calculated and is immediately available to the potential employer, together with a list of topics which the candidate answered wrongly or did not answer. If the candidate is then invited to an interview, this list can then be used to probe further the potentially problematic areas. The results are also optionally available to the candidate to see: it is up to you to decide.

The tests can be easily branded with the employer's logo.

All tests are verified for reliability and validity.
