Pre-employment testing

Section Separator

You may be asked to take a pre-employment test as part of our selection process. These tests are validated measures which help assess your knowledge, skills and abilities for a job. The use of pre-employment tests is a fair and effective process for gathering objective information about applicants on certain job-related components. We use one or a combination of standardized pre-employment tests, including Web-based assessments, knowledge tests, basic skills tests, work samples or analysis exercises.

We provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act for individuals with documented disabilities who demonstrate a need for accommodation.
