About the Business ethics & compliance test

How a company is perceived is determined by the choices its managers and employees make. When these choices are unethical, the company’s reputation can be negatively impacted, and the company or employee may face additional consequences, such as loss of customers, or legal entanglements. When those choices are ethical, not only will the company’s reputation improve externally, but the company will be stronger internally trusting in the decisions of both its leadership and employees at all times.

This screening test evaluates a candidate’s ability to recognize and avoid conflicts of interests, understand policy and legal violations, comprehend the impact of ethical issues on a business or personal reputation, and observe anti-harassment and anti-discriminatory policies. The test uses everyday situations that employees may encounter in their careers to test the candidates’ judgment in each scenario.

Candidates who perform well on this test will have a strong understanding of business ethics and how their role and behavior can impact both internal and external company situations and relationships.

The questions on ethics and compliance in this screening test follows US business standards.

FAQs

What is the difference between an assessment and a test?

An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 10 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.

Can I add my own questions to an assessment?

Yes! Custom questions are great for testing candidates in your own unique way. We support the following question types: video, multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Besides adding your own custom questions, you can also create your own tests.

How do video questions work?

A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now." You can learn more about video questions here.

Can you explain how the other custom question types work?

Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
