Robert Half Assessment Tests
Robert Half wants to ensure that your job assignment is appropriate to your skill set, and that it's interesting to you on a personal and professional level as well. The Robert Half assessment, provided by Kenexa Prove It, will evaluate:

It's important to note that not all of the aforementioned tests will be given to every candidate, as it's dependent on the job and position.
Accountemps Assessment Test
Another way to apply for the aforementioned job positions is through a staffing agency and division of Robert Half, Accountemps. To hire skilled professionals for some of the largest companies in the accounting and finance world, Accountemps utilizes recruiting technology and matching algorithms.
Some of the main programs and technologies utilized by Accountemps are social media platforms and applicant tracking systems. This means that you can apply for jobs positions through mediums like LinkedIn, or have your application pre-screened (for keyword-specific phrases) by an ATS. Furthermore, if you pass the initial stages, it's possible you will be required to complete the same pre-employment assessment tests that are mentioned above (depending on the employer and job position).
It's vital that you thoroughly prepare for each stage of the hiring process, as it can be very competitive. Learn more about recruitment platforms, applicant tracking systems, and how to beat them on our dedicated page.
