Industrial Skills Testing

You want to be confident that your staffing service has done a thorough job of screening, so that the candidates sent to you will have the skills to perform in your workplace.

One of the best methods of screening applicants is by testing. When we talk about testing at Hamilton-Ryker, we mean practical, job-related tests, most of which have been developed through listening to our clients' suggestions.

As the workplace changes and necessary skills become more advanced, Hamilton-Ryker updates our testing to reflect those changes.

While we continue to emphasize the importance of a thorough interview, reference checks and good judgment by our staffing supervisors, we know that skills tests which provide actual proof of an applicant's abilities give you confidence in the associates we provide.

Hamilton-Ryker includes testing in the following areas as part of our screening process:

Test Subject	Skills Covered
Spelling/definitions	Word recognition, grammar skills
Math/measurement	Basic and advanced math, ability to read tape measure and ruler
Number proofreading	Counting, sorting and recording by number
Following directions	Step-by-step completion of a task as outlined
Counting and packing	Assembly, packaging, using a calculator, inventory
Dexterity/repetitive activities	Hand-eye coordination, concentration, using small hand tools, assembly

In addition to the above tests, Hamilton-Ryker frequently administers specific tests on behalf of our clients. If you have developed your own testing and wish to have the associate complete that testing as well, we will administer it. By working closely with you and responding to your needs, we become part of a sucessful team with the most productive workers available.
