Course Description

When accurate resumes are as rare as four-leaf clovers and interviews are like playing roulette, smart accounting departments need to consider how to get objective evidence before making an employment offer.

In this webinar, our presenter will cover testing options that cover accounting-specific skills, personality, and ability, along with when and how to use those testing options. Every accounting department wants to make fast, confident hiring decisions, and this webinar will equip participants with the knowledge to do so along with how to approach testing with prospective job candidates so they want to take the tests.

If you or your accounting department has ever had "buyer's remorse" with a new hire, then this course is for you!

Learning Objectives:


  • Evaluate the science behind objective testing

  • List the different tests available and when to use them

  • Recognize how to ensure the testing you use meets EEOC requirements and fulfills DE&I responsibilities

  • Demonstrate how to make candidates comfortable taking a test

  • Evaluate how testing can cut hiring time in half

About Our Presenter

Accountests logo
Accountests was launched to address requests from public accounting firms and other employers of accountants and bookkeepers for a reliable method of assessing the technical competency of candidates for accounting and bookkeeping roles. Firms experienced the frustration and cost of hiring staff whose actual accounting ability fell significantly short of the abilities claimed on resumes and at interviews; shortfalls that went undetected in existing selection processes.

Our accounting and bookkeeping tests reports provide you with easily interpreted results to make timely and informed hiring decisions. Each test is designed and validated in consultation with partner and senior manager-level accountants in public accounting and corporate businesses to ensure they meet the needs of all those hiring accountants.
