Neuroworx's surveyor test can be used during the recruitment process to help hiring teams identify the candidates who have the skills and expertise required to perform well in a surveyor role.
A surveyor test is a comprehensive assessment that is used to identify candidates who have the potential to succeed as surveyors. Candidates are presented with a series of multiple-choice questions specifically designed to assess them on key areas, including technical knowledge of building and construction, attention to detail, and analytical thinking skills.
A candidate's results can be used to predict how they are likely to perform in the future, with the highest-performing candidates progressing to the next round of the recruitment process, while those who underperformed are excluded.
A surveyor carries out inspections on buildings to ensure they meet regulations and specifications, and checks for structural damage. Surveyors must have the necessary technical knowledge, as well as soft skills such as attention to detail and communication skills.
Neuroworx's surveyor test assesses candidates on these skills, to help you make the right hiring decision.
Finding the right candidate for your surveyor position can be a lengthy and complex process, especially if you have many candidates in your talent pool. Distinguishing between applicants can be challenging, as candidates often have a similar level of experience and qualifications on paper.
Neuroworx's surveyor test helps solve this problem. The test is easily distributed to as many candidates as you require, providing you with comparable data on each candidate, so you can quickly narrow down your talent pool to those with the greatest potential.
This brings more efficiency to high-volume recruitment, by reducing the administrative burden on your hiring team, whilst ensuring you make more informed data-driven decisions.
Results for the Surveyor Test along with other assessments the candidate takes will be compiled to produce a candidate report.
The report is automatically generated and available both online and as a downloadable pdf so they can be shared with other team members and employees alike.
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. numerical reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. detail orientation). 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 surveyor 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 surveyor test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
