judgement. the next generation of situational judgement tests. When you’re swamped with thousands of job applications, the challenge is to not only identify those best suited to the job, but also to design a recruitment process that engages candidates and gives them valuable insight into the job.
Judgement is the next generation of situational judgement tests (SJTs) from Talent Q, part of Hay Group. Combining scientific rigor and state-of-the-art technology, they allow you to assess the key requirements for a role using a series of real-life scenarios. They give you a fast, robust and engaging way to screen high volumes of applicants.
Fully customized to fit your organization’s brand, values and role requirements, the tests also provide a realistic preview of what the job entails and the demands of the role. This means your candidates will have a better idea about whether the job and organization are a good fit for them before they apply.
using judgement in your organization Judgement can play a key role in your selection process by helping you make better, more informed screening decisions and making sure the candidates that progress to the face-to-face stages of the process are the right ones. Opposite is an overview of how it works in the wider selection process.

formatOur tests can be designed in an ‘adaptive’ or ‘standard’ question format.
standard questioningA standard test means that all candidates will receive the same set of pre-determined scenarios and response options. These can be delivered in a linear format, where the set of questions always appear in the same order, or in a random format, where the same questions are randomized for each candidate.
adaptive questioningAdaptive tests are more realistic, as the assessments take place in a dynamic and interactive working environment. The tests use a branching technique, in which the scenarios and response options change in real-time depending on how the candidate has responded to previous questions. In doing so, the SJT becomes a real-life simulation of a given scenario, as each and every action has a reaction or consequence.

bWhy adaptive?We have pioneered the development of adaptive situational judgement tests. This approach has multiple benefits.
Improved candidate experience – the format is more realistic and immersive, so it’s more engaging for your candidates and helps reinforce your employer brand.
Deeper measurement – a truer reflection of how candidates deal with the evolving consequences of real-life situations.
Increased test security – an adaptive test means that each candidate is likely to receive a unique combination of questions, which reduces the chances that questions and correct answers can be published.
Longer shelf-life – multiple permutations of the assessment result in less question exposure, so even repeat applicants are less likely to receive exactly the same assessment questions.
“ Situation judgement tests (SJTs) are commonly used to determine how applicants would handle situations that they’re likely to encounter in the workplace. However, most SJTs have fixed scenarios. In other words, every applicant sees the same situations. Talent Q has broken the mould here by creating adaptive SJTs for us. This is very innovative because all of the situations that each candidate encounters in our SJTs evolve. Different consequences arise, depending on their previous responses. The benefit is that we can hone in on a candidate’s behavioral tendencies in a more engaging and realistic way.” Jo Leggett, Resourcing Manager, B&Q

Predicting job performance
Situational judgement tests have been shown to be a strong predictor of future job success.
Candidate experience The tests are based on realistic scenarios that candidates are likely to encounter in the job, and can be fully branded to consistently reflect your brand and tone of voice. Multimedia and gamification techniques can be added to make them even more engaging and immersive.
Return on investment The tests help you screen high volumes of applicants in a fast, cost-effective and objective way.
Bespoke to your organization
Because the tests are designed around your organization, they’re developed to assess your unique requirements. The key benefit of this is that they directly assess job relevant behaviors within your organization, and as a result they provide applicants with a realistic insight into the role and the organization.
Fairness SJTs offer a fair and legally defensible approach to selection, as they have low levels of adverse impact, including by age, gender and ethnicity.
