Skills tests are validated tools used to assess a candidate's ability to perform job related skills. Here is what to expect: Recruiters send invitations by email to candidates selected to test. Using the information on the email invitation, register for and take the test. If you successfully pass all required skills tests, a recruiter will evaluate your submission for further advancement.
