What is a digital marketing test?

A digital marketing test aims to determine whether a marketing applicant has sufficient knowledge, attention to detail, creativity, diligence and analytical skills to perform a number of marketing functions.

The test uses multiple-choice questions to evaluate a range of skills needed to perform well in the role, as well as identifying cultural fit and personality strengths and weaknesses.

Performing well on this test demonstrates a candidate has the required traits and abilities to perform well at the level needed within a marketing team.

Marketing is so broad and has few barriers to entry and as a result, the test is becoming more commonly used to ensure candidates are competent.

About the Digital Marketing Test

Marketing is a relatively easy industry to get into so shortlisting the right candidates is important. Poor skills and inexperience can have a negative effect on businesses and be extremely costly if you make the wrong hire.

People who work in marketing help support businesses that sell their products and services to customers. It requires creativity, logical thinking and excellent problem-solving skills.

Marketing tests should therefore be used to help you identify promising candidates who would thrive in the role you are hiring for.

Why should you use a digital marketing test for recruiting?

Digital marketing positions often require certain traits, competencies and skills to perform well. Traditional methods of recruitment such as resume reviews are not that effective when it comes to assessing candidates skillsets, as applications tend to be weighted more towards experience.

A digital marketing test empowers recruiters to screen candidates with more precision, providing them with more insight and data. This makes it easier to shortlist candidates and helps reduce bias in the early stages of recruitment.

Job roles marketing tests would be suitable for include:

How our test assesses digital marketing skills

Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable (e.g. Hubspot), soft skills (e.g. interpersonal skills), aptitude (e.g. error checking) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. creativity). 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 a digital marketing specialist 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 digital marketing test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
