What the Legal Administrator SJT measures
The Legal Administrator SJT is a situational judgement test that presents candidates with realistic work situations from an administrative or organisational role in a law firm, and asks them to decide on the best response. It measures 4 competencies:
Working Together
Working with others to maximise outcomes.
Seeking Solutions
Understanding and establishing customers' needs.
Taking the Initiative
Routinely providing high-quality outcomes and services.
Professional Credibility
Acting with integrity and professionalism.
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
Three reports are available as standard: the Recruitment Report supports a recruitment decision with scores, behavioural interpretation and interview questions; the Candidate Report gives the candidate feedback with behavioural interpretation and development goals; and the Interview Report gives scores, behavioural interpretation and STAR-based competency interview questions.
