WHY WONDERLIC SELECT
Everything Your Hiring Team Needs. Nothing They Have to Figure Out.
Most assessment platforms make you choose between cognitive, personality, or motivation testing, or charge extra to combine them. Wonderlic Select includes all three in a single assessment, pre-configured for your specific role so you get a complete picture of every candidate without the setup.
Built Around Your Role, Not a Generic Test
Our jobs engine draws from over 3 million real job profiles to find the most accurate benchmark for your specific role automatically. No time spent customizing a job description, and no guesswork on what strong fit actually looks like for your business.
85+ Years of Validation Science
The average competitor has roughly 30 years of validation data. Wonderlic has been refining its assessment science since 1937, giving you benchmarks built on more data than any other platform in the category.
Integrate With Your ATS
Works with Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and others. Assessments trigger automatically and scores flow into your existing workflow.
I/O Psychologists on Staff
Where other platforms vary on scientific support, Wonderlic has on-staff industrial-organizational psychologists who validate every assessment and are available for complex hiring questions.
Same Day Implementation
Most platforms take days to weeks to get running. Wonderlic Select is up and running within a day with no consultant required and no lengthy onboarding process.
Legally Defensible
Validated to comply with EEOC guidelines and UGESP standards. Use Wonderlic Select confidently with full legal backing and no additional review needed.
