What the Graduate SJT measures
A Situational Judgement Test (SJT) presents real-life work situations and asks candidates to choose the best response. The Graduate SJT is geared to situations someone in the early stages of their career may meet across different industries. It measures 4 competencies:
Teamwork
Working with others to maximise outcomes.
Problem Solving
Gathering enough information to make valid decisions and solve problems.
Meeting Expectations
Working systematically to achieve performance expectations.
Professional Integrity
Showing genuine commitment to company standards and values.
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
On completion you can download 3 reports as standard: a Recruitment Report (test scores, behavioural interpretation and interview questions), a Candidate Report (behavioural feedback and development goals) and an Interview Report (scores, interpretation and interview questions to explore strengths and development areas).
