Recruitment tests

Many employers, particularly larger companies, now use some form of testing at some point in their recruitment. It may form part of an online application process or it may be included in an assessment centre day after an initial interview... or some point in between.

Preparation may not make them any easier, but it can help to reduce stress if you have an idea of the type of thing you might face. These resources are available to give you that idea.
