About the Performance Management test

Candidates with strong performance management skills play a strategic role in aligning employee performance with organizational goals. They apply best practices to determine performance standards for each job, establish criteria, and determine the best methods for appraising performance.

These candidates can develop or identify relevant performance appraisal tools, select appropriate methods based on job requirements, and participate in implementing the performance appraisal process. They also excel at providing effective feedback, establishing performance-related goals, recommending training and development needs, and suggesting appropriate compensation based on performance.

This Performance Management test evaluates candidates’ abilities to appraise employee performance concerning organizational goals, give constructive and effective feedback, manage employee performance using best practices to improve productivity and effectiveness, and ensure that performance management activities are fair and just.

This screening test will help you to identify performance managers who can help employees align their performance with organizational goals. The screening test will help you identify professionals who can directly manage performance or act as consultants or guides to others who work directly with employees.

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
