What is a web designer test?

A web designer test is a pre-employment assessment that allows you to see a candidate’s skills in action before any hiring decisions are made. Used to both streamline and optimise selection, a web designer test provides a fast and efficient way to single out the most promising talent in your applicant pool.

Through a series of expertly designed questions and practical tasks, the test measures how well each candidate is able to plan and create web pages and applications that deliver on specified objectives.

A strong performance indicates technical know-how, creative flair, and the ability to translate a given brief into an effective end result.

About the Web Designer Test

Web designers have a key role to play in how customers interact with a business. They’re responsible for creating functional, interactive and engaging elements that enhance the user experience, and encourage certain actions to take place.

Whether you’re a company hiring in-house, or an agency taking on more staff, Neuroworx’s web designer test will help you find those with both the technical and non-technical skills required for effective web design.

Why should you use a web designer test for recruiting?

A web designer’s job role is diverse, as is the skill set required to fulfil it. They need technical knowledge and competency in coding, programming, search engine optimisation, testing, and debugging, and the creativity to deliver visually impactful page layouts and design elements.

They need the skills to interpret and develop a brief, collaborate with other specialists like graphic designers and content writers, and communicate clearly with whomever they’re designing for.

The challenge as an employer is finding a candidate that brings all of these skills to the table. You can, to a certain extent, rely on qualifications and experience to guide your decision – but these won’t give you demonstrable proof of how they’re likely to perform if offered the role.

That’s where Neuroworx’s web designer test can help. It’s designed to predict future performance based on the core skills required for the role, and with comparable data on each applicant, you can quickly narrow your options down to those with the greatest potential.

It’s efficient, objective and, when combined with a well structured interview, helps you make the right hiring decision first time round.

The test can be used for web design and similar roles, including:

How our test assesses web designer 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. 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 web designer 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 web designer test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
