Service offered
AOE Select has three online assessments:
- Personality - 15 minutes
- Reasoning ability - 10 minutes
- Risks - 5 minutes
All assessments are taken online by job candidates and automatically scored. Candidates usually take only two or three of the assessments, depending on which ones are relevant for a specific job.
The process
- An organizational representative will log on to the AOE website and input the names and emails of the job candidates and send an email with instructions and a link to the assessment questions to the candidates.
- A feedback report will be received via email by the organization when the candidates have completed each assessment.
- The feedback report will provide the assessment scores, how to interpret those scores, and a “fit” recommendation.
We have validation data for 19 job families:
- engineers
- finance
- food service
- healthcare
- machinists
- manufacturing
- public servants
- sales
And more! Data is derived from similar jobs in other organizations so it will match the candidate profile with the ideal profile for the job.
