Using these assessments, you can be sure to hire individuals with the ability to calculate accounting figures and manage financial records. In assuring that you have suitable candidates, you reduce future company turnover.

Easy and simple to use

A prospective employee’s responses are automatically marked and a point is awarded for every correctly answered question. Skipped questions or those that are not taken will result in no point being awarded.
