Validate Real Skills with Discovered’s Skills Assessment Tests
Stop guessing and start measuring the skills that matter most to job success.
What Is a Skills Assessment Test?
A Skills Assessment Test is a practical evaluation that measures whether a candidate can actually perform the tasks required for a job—before you hire them.
Unlike resumes or interviews, which can exaggerate or overlook real abilities, skills tests give you objective proof of a candidate’s proficiency.
These tests are designed to simulate the actual tasks someone would encounter on the job—like entering data accurately, using Excel functions, solving math problems, or writing a clear email.
For example, a candidate might claim advanced Excel skills on their resume, but struggle with basic formulas in practice.
A skills test catches that gap early, helping you avoid costly hiring mistakes and ensuring every new hire is truly job-ready.
