Testing Considerations for Diverse Candidates

Be Consistent

Use the same tests on all candidates for the same role^. Treating a candidate differently because of your bias by testing them and nobody else opens you up to risk of being accused of discriminating against that candidate.

^ unless there are grounds not to use a test. See Testing Considerations for Diverse Candidates notes in the table below

 

Pick the Test(s) Suitable for the Role

Choosing tests pitched above the skills and ability levels actually required in the job in the hope of eliminating certain applicants from the selection process also opens you up to risk of being accused of discriminating against that candidate. You can determine which test to choose based on the job description here.
