The Air New Zealand recruitment process includes several key assessments, such as numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning tests.
This test evaluates your ability to work with numbers, tables, and charts. You may be asked to solve problems related to percentages, ratios, or basic calculations. This test is crucial for roles that require analytical thinking and data interpretation, such as pilot and engineering positions.
The total cost of an electric bill is $318.00. If 6% tax, which is added to the cost of the electricity, is included in the $318.00, how much did the electricity cost before tax?
This assessment measures your understanding of written text and your ability to draw logical conclusions. You’ll be given a passage and asked to determine whether a statement is true, false, or cannot be determined based on the information provided. Strong verbal reasoning skills are essential for roles that involve following complex instructions and understanding detailed reports.
Below are six tabs containing information about a business, followed by a statement. Read the statement, then look for the relevant information inside the tabs to help you label the statement as true, false, or indeterminate.
Structure
Shareholders – shareholders are people who invest their own funds in a company. A shareholder is usually an outside investor, but some management positions hold shares in the company as an incentive to put more effort into it. Employees from management positions cannot be hired as managers in the subsidiary organization too, even if it's a non-profit organization, to avoid a conflict of interest.
Management – this division is comprised of the CEO, the sales representative, and team leaders and secretaries who have worked in the company for three years or more.
Materials – this division is comprised of engineers, truckers, lab researchers, assembly line workers and tech support. During the high season period, the company hires a fair amount of freelancers to help with the lab research. After the season ends, their contract is terminated. The cleaning staff is an outside company that is getting paid to clean the organization’ facilities. Their actions are supervised by the safety engineer.
The company will open a bid for the audit committee position every year. The chairman must be someone with no substantial affiliation to the company, not an employee, not from an employee's family or future family, and certainly cannot be someone who took part in the organization in the past 5 years.
Responsibilities
The cleaning staff must have three employees on "standby" to respond to any of the safety engineer’s calls.
All employees must work 9 hours a day, and no more than 13 hours in overtime.
The CEO may allocate 12% of the company's yearly revenue for research and development.
For charity outreach, the company will send three employees to Manchester's soup kitchen for a full workweek.
Pipelines – this service is provided by the materials division representatives and not someone who specializes in plumbing, thus it's one of the least profitable products the company offers due to bad reviews.
Natural gas products – a seasonal product operated by seasonal employees only. The revenue from these products is allocated to the subsidiary company.
Electricity usage efficiency – this service is one of the most profitable products/services the company offers. This service is scheduled through sales and is provided by the engineers.
The company's research team is trying to initiate a new business strategy and provide one additional product – printed 3-D building blocks. This is not a product yet, but it will be in 2029.
The management division is located in the northern business center of Manchester, whereas there are three active locations around the country: The pipeline manufacturing factory is located in the industrial area of South Manchester. The natural gas product is located on an oil platform on the shores of the country. The electricity usage efficiency is a service that does not require a plant but does require an office with all the right facilities. This office is located next to the management offices.
Once a year, the company rents a research lab for three months in a different location.
The cleaning staff has its own cabin for sleeping outside the pipeline factory.
The company owns a suite of offices in downtown Manchester. Those offices are rented to a third party at the moment but can be cleared out within 14 days from the moment the company notifies the third party.
All plants must be running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Assembly line workers work in shifts of 8 hours. Within their shifts, workers must melt 850 lbs. of steel and manufacture 107 deluxe pipelines altogether.
The CEO, the head of engineers, and the employee in charge of the cleaning staff must convene once a week for a site-wide operational evaluation.
The delivery team, which is comprised of the truckers, must report to the head of sales every 12 hours.
The Board of Directors is elected by the shareholders and is assigned to monitor the company's activity as a whole.
The Board of Directors hires the CEO themselves, and they have the power to fire him if 10% of the management agrees to it.
The Board of Directors convenes every 75 days and discusses the CEO's performance every 100 days.
The Board of Directors has the right to allocate up to $100,000 in bonuses every year. Higher amounts should be authorized by the shareholders' general assembly.
Every director can be fired by the shareholders' general assembly, and once every five years 40% of them must be replaced by new directors.
No management employees are allowed to be in the company's Board of Directors.
The board must consist of at least 33% females, at least 20% males and at least 12% university graduates.
The company is willing to provide any document regarding electricity and pollution stats for the past year to any inquiring party. The document will be issued by the weekly evaluation committee.
With regard to yearly revenue, the board will not provide any reports to any party other than the shareholders.
The company will not provide any reports regarding its missions, schedule, or the profit division of products and services to any third party.
Shareholder reports should be provided by the CEO to the board, and the board will disseminate the reports to the shareholders.
Once every five months the company will deliver a report to the government addressing issues required by the commissioner. However, if any of the information could potentially hurt future revenue or violate privacy, the report won't be provided without a warrant.
The company will receive tax refunds of 12% if they invest at least 42 weekly hours in a known non-profit organization or at least 60 weekly hours in any other charity work. The 12% tax refund may accumulate into millions a year, thus it is a profitable strategy. The company has been receiving refunds for the past three years.
Statement: All the cleaning staff is on standby every single moment.
This test focuses on your ability to recognize patterns and think abstractly. You might be shown a series of shapes or figures and asked to identify the next item in the sequence. Logical reasoning is important for problem-solving and decision-making, especially in fast-paced, high-pressure environments like piloting, where quick, logical thinking is key to handling unexpected situations.
What symbol should appear in place of the question mark?
The shape missing from the fourth column is the X.
Having added the X to the bottom row, the shape missing from the bottom row is a circle.
Therefore, the correct answer is :
💡 Solving tip
Pay attention to whether the shapes are rotating, repeating, or shifting predictably across rows and columns. In this case, since no shapes are repeated, you can infer that the missing shapes must also be unique. With two blank spots and two unused shapes approves our elimination hypothesis, and now you can apply even further elimination to narrow down the correct answer. This approach helps you logically rule out incorrect options and focus on the answer that fits the overall pattern.
