~The Importance of Clerical Skills~

The ability of your employees to read instructions, write and analyze reports, file and handle basic computations is critical to the success of your company. Studies by the American Management Association show that more than one-third of job applicants tested lacked sufficient reading and mathematical skills to perform the jobs they sought.

Description of the Clerical Skills Test
The Clerical Skills Test provides a reliable measurement of the basic skills required for most clerical positions (i.e., writing, analyzing tables and charts, proofreading, filing, math and checking information). Each section is timed. Administration of the entire test should take less than 30 minutes. To increase the validity of the instrument, each test section attempts to simulate on-the-job tasks as closely as possible.

One of the primary advantages of the Clerical Skills Test is its ease of administration and scoring. Quick and clear scoring procedures make the test accessible to all kinds of businesses, regardless of the size or the industry. What’s more, test administration is accomplished in a short time without sacrificing the test’s technical qualities (e.g., reliability and validity).

The Clerical Skills Test should provide a significant return-on-investment for its users.
A comparison of the cost of this test and the hidden costs associated with the recruitment and promotion of ability-deficient applicants should reveal that personnel testing is
cost-effective. Indeed, the time invested in hiring and training employees who turn out
to be unqualified represents a very significant hidden cost.
