Multitasking under pressure

Interruptions, priority and response timing

While a candidate works, radio updates and waiting calls break in, the way they do on the dispatch floor. The candidate picks the service and priority, or the call to handle first, then gets back to the task. Every assessment except Typing includes them, and they are reported separately from the main scores.

Your agency sets the rules

Your standards. Your settings.

Every center hires differently. Managers set the times, the weights and the pass marks themselves, and every candidate keeps the rules they were tested under, so changing a setting never changes an earlier result.

  • Time limits

    Choose how long candidates get for each assessment, from a short screen to a longer look.

    Typing 1 to 5 minMap 2 or 3 minScenario call 3 to 7 min

  • What counts most

    Weight each assessment in the overall score so the result reflects the skills your center values.

    A weight for every assessment

  • Pass marks

    Set an overall minimum, a minimum for any assessment, and your own typing speed and accuracy requirements.

    OverallPer assessmentTyping speed + accuracy

  • Interruptions and priority

    Add radio updates and call-queue decisions during the assessments to see priority judgment and response time. Switch them on or off for each candidate.

    On or off per candidateResponse time recorded

  • Remote or in house

    Send a one-time link, or start the test on a computer at your center. Either way the candidate needs no account.

    One-time linkStart here

  • Retests

    Give a candidate a new sitting with fresh versions of the assessments. Earlier sittings stay on record.

    New linkHistory kept

And you see how the test was taken. Results show the time each candidate was given, note when a candidate left the test page, and keep a recording of the scenario call for you to play back.
