Cost Accountant Test

"I first used Accountests products about a year ago and have seen first-hand a correlation between high performing candidates in the test being appraised as high performers in the workplace a year later.

The products are extremely user-friendly and cover all the basic fundamental areas of accounting that you would want to explore in making hiring decisions. Both the candidates sitting the tests, myself as the reviewer and my clients agreed that they hit the mark and make hiring decisions much easier."

Adam Napper, Senior Talent Advisor - Consult Accounting & Finance Recruitment, Auckland, NZ

 

"I recently used Accountests as we were looking for a way to assess technical management accountant ability to supplement our interviews of shortlisted candidates. It helped inform our decision and would definitely use it again."
