Sunday 27 October 2024
Online assessments are increasingly essential in the legal sector, helping firms identify candidates with the right cognitive abilities (IQ), personality, and critical thinking skills—minimizing costly hiring mistakes. TestGroup offers a tailored online assessment specifically for legal recruitment, designed to ensure firms select top-performing candidates who align with the demands of the field.
How to order an online assessment
Ordering an online assessment for legal recruitment from TestGroup can be done in two ways. For occasional testing, select individual assessments, paying per candidate—a flexible option for firms with specific needs. Alternatively, a dedicated account with unlimited assessments offers cost-effective, continuous access, ideal for firms needing regular evaluations. Both options deliver detailed insights on cognitive abilities, personality, and critical thinking, supporting precise, confident hiring decisions.
Online assessment for legal recruitment
Selecting the right people is essential, especially within a law firm. The office is only as good as the people it hires. A lot of money is invested in the training of trainee lawyers. How unfortunate it is if these people, after years of schooling, turn out not to be suitable for work as a lawyer and start looking for another job. There is therefore a great need for law firms to pay extra attention to the selection of new lawyers (prospective).
Select objectively
Although online assessments have been widely used in business services over the past 20 years, the legal profession is lagging somewhat behind in the implementation of tests within the selection procedure. Stakeholders within offices often select on "feeling" and think they know what fits within the office. Unfortunately, this (subjective) approach often leads to the selection of (expensive) "false-positives" and therefore unsuitable candidates. That is why there is a need within the legal profession for an objective online assessment that is specifically aimed at the selection of attorney trainees and attorney employees.
Competencies for legal positions
The online assessment for the legal profession offers objectivity. The online assessment consists of an ability test and a personality test. The assessment focuses on competencies that are specifically relevant to the legal profession. The competencies below are measured in the online assessment:
