Psychometric assessments and skills-based tests are mostly done after background checking, but not all roles require this step.
If you’re asked to complete a psychometric assessment, it’s likely to be a personality or ability assessment (or both) and these can be completed online. These are another tool to get to know you more. Feedback and copies of these assessments are provided to candidates.
Skills-based testing may include online tests, written tests, presentations or manual work-based tests.
