Everything about the Teamwork Test
This test is one part of screening every applicant from one link: add a one-way video interview and resume scoring, and compare candidates in one report.
What is the Teamwork Test?
The Teamwork Test is a situational judgement test about working in teams. Collaboration questions cover sharing tasks, giving feedback, cross-team requests and helping colleagues without dropping your own work. Communication questions cover missed deadlines, handovers, buried updates, remote teammates and disagreeing with a manager. Conflict questions cover arguments between peers, interruptions, a teammate who keeps missing their part and team-level disputes. Ownership questions cover mistakes, actions without owners, unrealistic commitments and committing to decisions you argued against. Plausible wrong answers make it hard to pass by choosing the most agreeable option.
What the Teamwork Test does not measure
It does not measure how a candidate actually behaves in your team day to day, or job-specific skills. Use a recorded interview with questions about real past team situations, and a skills test for the role.
How does the Teamwork Test work?
The Teamwork Test is an auto-scored multiple-choice test. Each candidate answers 20 questions drawn at random from a bank of 60, so two candidates rarely see the same set, and most finish in 8 to 12 minutes. The questions are spread evenly across collaboration, team communication, handling conflict and reliability and ownership, with a mix of easy, medium and hard items, and the report shows a score for each area as well as an overall score.
Why is the Teamwork Test important to employers?
One poor team player can slow a whole team: hoarding work, avoiding conflict until it explodes or letting others carry their share. Interviews rarely show this. This test gives every candidate the same team situations, so you can see who shares work, speaks up constructively and owns their part.
