INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY

An employee proficiency uses standardized testing to measure a potential employee's skill set and knowledge within a specialized area. For example, a business might test an employee's language skills for a position that involves writing, or spreadsheet skills for a bookkeeping position. These aptitude tests can be given prior to employment but also at certain points in an employee's time with the organization, such as during a review. There are many good reasons to use employee proficiency testing when evaluating potential job candidates.

Proficiency can weed out the candidates who don't possess the knowledge or skills necessary to meet the job requirement, which in turn saves the company the frustration of hiring someone unable to do the job. Proficiency tests also help identify a candidate's strengths and weaknesses and help determine if additional training may be needed or if there is another position within the organization they may be better suited for. The way in which the company conducts the proficiency exam usually depends on the skills it seeks.
