What is Pre-Employment Testing?

Standardized assessments given to job candidates before hiring to evaluate their skills, cognitive ability, personality, or physical fitness for a role.

Why it matters in hiring

Pre-Employment Testing comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
