What the Team Leader SJT measures
A Situational Judgement Test (SJT) presents real-life work situations and asks candidates to choose the best response. The Team Leader SJT is geared to situations someone in a supervisory or first-line management role may meet across different industries. It measures 4 competencies:
Purposeful Engagement
Supporting colleagues, stakeholders and clients to improve outcomes.
Analytical Thinking
Gathering and analysing information to resolve complex issues.
Resource Management
Aligning resources with organisational goals to keep performance on track.
Professional Credibility
Acting with integrity, transparency and ethical behaviour.
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).
