The Wonderlic Select hiring assessments provide comprehensive, job-specific insights into a candidate's fit for a role. Using Wonderlic's multi-measure assessment approach gives HR teams the most accurate prediction of whether their candidate can do the job, wants to do the job, and how they'll do it. This approach gives greater insights into performance and retention.

Our job-specific results are the best predictor of a candidate's ability to succeed in a role. This makes it easier than ever before for your HR team and hiring managers to find long-term quality hires. No customization is required, so you never have to use job generic insights again.

Predict candidate success

Most assessments only capture personality insights. Wonderlic Select combines multi-measure results into a single score that includes a candidate's abilities, motivators, as well as personality traits. The result is the highest prediction available of which candidates will be top performers in your role.

BETTER CANDIDATE PREDICTIONS FROM MULTI-MEASURE INSIGHTS

Wonderlic optimizes your hiring decisions by allowing you to assess all your candidates on the top three predictors of job performance: cognitive ability, personality, and motivation.

Other assessment providers limit your ability to find top candidates and is less predictive, only focusing on only one or two constructs. Also, some providers require you to pay per assessment, making it more challenging to assess all your candidates.

UNDERSTAND PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL: JOB-SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT RESULTS FOR EVERY ROLE

Job-specific assessment results increase the effectiveness of hiring decisions. Wonderlic is the only provider with off-the-shelf scoring profiles covering all existing and emerging jobs in the market today.

Other assessment providers offer limited insight into candidates' performance in the role, using generic job groupings that lack context or no role-specific results at all.

MAKE SMARTER HIRING DECISIONS WITH STREAMLINED DATA INSIGHTS

Easily compare candidates using a single score with fair and consistent data points for accurate decision-making during the screen-out process.

Other assessments can lead to subjective and inconsistent interpretation of results due to end users having to review a list of psychometric scales.

IMPLEMENTATION MADE EASY

Wonderlic is simple to use and understand for everyone off the shelf: HR, hiring managers, and candidates. No paid certifications are needed.

Other assessment providers' results are not intuitive and require paid certification to interpret.
