In today’s competitive job market, companies are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline their hiring processes and identify the best candidates for the job. One of the most effective methods for evaluating potential hires is through pre-employment assessments. These assessments provide valuable insights into a candidate’s skills, personality traits, and overall fit for the role. However, developing reliable and valid assessments requires a deep understanding of the science behind test development.
