Overview

This technology provides HR consultants with increased autonomy in the testing process. For example, from their personal computer HR consultants can order tests instantaneously, assign test ID to candidates, send them e-mail notices automatically and receive results in minutes. All this is done securely through the Web and significantly reduces turnaround time.

For test administrators, Online tests means no more test booklets, no more answer sheets, no more faxes, no more mail or courier services, no more waiting for results. For test-takers, the system increases fairness because the computer ensures the standardisation of test administration.

Online tests add value to recruitment and staffing processes throughout the federal government by reducing the length of the selection process, by improving efficiency and responsiveness, by reducing costs, by helping the PSC and departments manage volume and by greatly reducing the risk of error.
