What is an assistant manager test?

An assistant manager test evaluates whether a candidate possesses the necessary skills and knowledge required to assist with the day to day management of teams, business activities and workflow procedures that occur within a variety of business and retail situations (this can also be for remote work too). The test can be used during the early stages of the recruitment process to ensure the most suitable candidates are shortlisted.

Consisting of several multiple choice-based questions, the assistant manager test assesses candidates on their knowledge of various tasks such as providing customer service, team support, managing key stakeholders and being able to problem-solve to ensure operations run smoothly.

A high score on this test shows that a candidate can effectively manage their day to day duties and add value to a business and their teams.

About the Assistant Manager Test

Assistant managers have become an integral part of most businesses and support general functions of daily activities that occur in offices, retail and other businesses – whether teams are remote or in a physical environment. An effective assistant manager can support the ever-changing needs of a business, which is why it's so important to make the right choice when hiring.

The assistant manager test assesses whether a candidate possesses the required knowledge and skills to perform management duties successfully, so you shortlist the right candidates.

Why should you use an assistant manager test for recruiting?

It can often be difficult to distinguish between candidates, especially if your hiring team receives a large pool of candidates with a seemingly similar level of experience. Resumes alone can often give limited insight into a candidate's true skills, which could lead to decisions being based on instinct rather than data.

An assistant manager test helps solve this problem by providing comparative data to base your decisions on. You are able to easily administer the test to a large number of candidates in your talent pool, to receive comparative data that reveals the most suitable candidates for your position.

This creates a more streamlined hiring process where only the most qualified candidates are advanced to the next round, saving time and resources, and reducing the administrative burden placed on your hiring team.

The test will highlight a candidate's proficiency in key areas which are required to be successful in an assistant manager role, such as their situational judgement, proactivity, cultural fit and general business acumen.

Applicants who score highly, and therefore best meet the requirements of the role, can then be advanced to the next stage, while those who did not meet the required level are excluded.

How our test assesses assistant manager skills

Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable, soft skills (e.g. leadership), aptitude (e.g. verbal reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. team orientation). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.

The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.

The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to be an assistant manager were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.

During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-experts – and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.

Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.

Our assistant manager test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
