What are Indeed Skills Tests?

Indeed tests are a group of over 150 short tests that allow you to demonstrate specific skills on the job posting site Indeed. These skill-based tests may be taken either at the behest of a potential employer, or just to showcase specific skills on your profile. There is a huge variety of indeed skills tests, including Customer Focus & Orientation, Working with MS Word Documents, Phone Interview, various cognitive skills, mechanical skills, or basically anything an employer would want their employees to be skilled/talented at.

As mentioned, if you have a high score in a skill that certain employers desire in their workers, your profile will appear higher on their searches for job candidates, which means you should take your test after preparing adequately! 

Do Employers Look at Indeed Assessments?

Indeed assessment results help employers filter applicants for interviews (similar to the hiring process at Amazon). Some employers compare test results to those of high-performing employees at the company, while others just require a minimum passing score. However, the higher your score, the greater your chances of advancing to the next stage of the hiring process after you demonstrate specific skills they prioritize.  

For those using the tests on their profiles, Indeed’s algorithm pushes profiles with the highest scores to the top of the search engine. This means that recruiters will see your profile before others. In turn, you will get better job opportunities quicker.

Sample Question 3 - Attention to Detail

Choose the image that completes the pattern:

Solution

The correct answer is: 

In this question, you can look at each frame as being composed of four little squares, each containing one black rectangle and one white rectangle. In each step, two black rectangles switch places with two white rectangles. In the first step, the black rectangles in the two bottom squares switch places with the white rectangles. In the second step, the black rectangles in the two left squares switch places with the white rectangles. This progression continues in a clockwise direction. Thus, in the fourth step, the two black rectangles in the right squares switch places with the two white rectangles.

How to Access Indeed Tests & Results

If you wish to take Indeed assessments independently and display the scores on your profile, go to the “skills tests” on your profile and select tests that evaluate skills listed in the job description in question. This is similar to how assessments like CritiCall are divided into different modules.

Can’t find Your Indeed Assessment?

Every Indeed assessment you take, including the ones required when submitting a job application, should appear on your Indeed account under “certifications and license” once you log in. Out of those, you can choose which assessment will be displayed for employers. This is what it looks like:

• Note: this possibility exists only for applicants located in the U.S.
  
  

Can You Retake Indeed Assessments?

Once you take an Indeed Test, you cannot retake it for at least six months unless the same test is requested for a job application. So, it is highly recommended to take Indeed Tests only when you feel well prepared.

Indeed Assessment Score – What Does It Mean?

Indeed tests have several score categories. The Indeed Assessment score levels from high to low are: Expert, Highly Proficient, Proficient, Familiar, and Completed. The scores of assessments you have started without completing will be marked as N/A. The “completed” score is the lowest, meaning you failed the assessment. The next score, “familiar”, means you show some understanding but are still not proficient in the skills. To show you are skillful and competent in the evaluated skill, you should only display a “proficient” score.

How do You Practice Indeed Assessments?

The best way to ensure you get a proficient-expert score on an Indeed assessment is by practicing similar questions on pre-exams.  

Our team of experts has developed practice tests for the Indeed Customer Situations Assessment, Mechanical Knowledge Assessment, and Typing Test. Designed to improve the skills required to succeed on each test, you will find questions mirroring the ones you’ll see on the real exam.

Indeed Phone Interview Assessment

Some hiring managers send out an automated Indeed phone interview, which can be completed via computer or mobile. In this interview, candidates are asked several pre-recorded questions and are required to record a 2-minutes-long answer for each of the questions.

Preparing for Personality Tests

Depending on the company and the position applied for, the hiring process may include completing personality questionnaires. These assess the level of compatibility between candidates' traits and characteristics, and the requirements of the position.
