Part 4.1: What the employer should tell you up front about the test

Any employer who asks you to take a test as part of a recruitment process must gain your informed consent to be tested. This means you must be informed about every aspect of the testing process and agree to these conditions.

Employer obligations

To become fully informed the employer must provide the following information prior to the test session:

The nature of the test you will take - what the test measures

Why the test is being used - its relevance to the job

How the test scores will be used - their role in the selection decision

Who will have access to the results

How long the results will be retained

Will you be provided with feedback?

You must be happy with all of the information the employer provides in order to consent to be tested. Some employers will ask for formal consent; they may ask you to write and confirm that you're happy to proceed. Most employers will assume that you give your informed consent if you turn-up to be tested. In either case, you must raise any issues you have with the employer's testing process before you take the test. Complaining about the process later on will carry less weight than a challenge at the right time, which is before you consent.
