What is a security officer test?
Security officers need specific skills, qualifications and experience, and when the recruitment team receives numerous applications from candidates with similar experience, the right tests for skills and competencies can ensure that only the best potential employees are taken further.
Applying the Neuroworx security officer test when looking for a new employee can reduce the cost per hire and make for a much more efficient selection process.
About the Security Officer Test
The security officer test is designed to assess particular skills and competencies needed in that role. Each test contains questions that are aimed at competent security officers; the content itself is not complicated for candidates who have the knowledge and experience required.
For the recruitment team, the security officer test is simple to administer at scale, which means that you can apply the test to any number of candidates. The results are easy to read and understand, so taking the right candidates forward to the next stage in the recruitment process is straightforward.
Why should you use a security officer test for recruiting?
The daily tasks of a security officer might include patrolling premises and checking doors and windows, guarding specific valuable items, monitoring CCTV or guarding boundaries of facilities.
Some security officers might be responsible for checking staff and visitors into buildings and offices, while others might transport valuables or money in vehicles. Security officers might be responsible for searching bags and/or people.
Most businesses will look for security officers or security guards who have the required licensing (eg Security Industry Authority training). But if you need to sift those who already have such qualifications, then administering the security officer test will give you data-driven results that you can rely on.
With a number of specific soft skills as well as industry-specific knowledge necessary in the role, the Neuroworx security officer test provides reliable data that can be used to reduce the time and money needed to complete the recruitment process.
Finding a security officer that has integrity and honesty, as well as excellent communication and teamwork skills and the necessary specific public safety and security knowledge, is why using an appropriate security officer test will make a difference to your recruitment process.

How our test assesses security officer skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable, soft skills (e.g. teamwork), aptitude (e.g. verbal reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. stress tolerance). 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 security officer 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 security officer test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
