What the Bus Driver SJT measures
The Bus Driver SJT is a situational judgement test for people applying to become bus drivers. Candidates are presented with realistic situations that bus drivers will recognise and decide on the best response. It measures 3 competencies:
Customer service
Providing excellent customer service.
Performing effectively
Acting reliably and responsibly in managing tasks, duties, interactions and own health.
Performing safely
Always being alert to safety and security risks, and following safety instructions and procedures.
Why organisations choose Viewpoint SJTs
Realistic job scenarios
Candidates respond to situations they would really face in the role, so you see how they would handle the job.
Measures judgement, not knowledge
SJTs show how people weigh up a situation and choose what to do, which experience and CVs rarely reveal.
A preview of the job
Candidates get a realistic picture of the role, which helps them decide if it is right for them.
Reports for every audience
Reports for recruiters and for candidates, so everyone gets feedback that is useful to them.
Reports that do the work for you
You can download 2 reports as standard. Recruitment Report: for the organisation, to support a recruitment decision, with test scores, behavioural interpretation and interview questions. Candidate Report: for the candidate, with feedback on their performance, behavioural interpretation and development goals.
