At ERG, we are looking for people who can fit in well with our values and our culture, to help us grow. To do this, depending on the characteristics of the open position, we use a number of tools (aptitude test, test of language skills, solutions of cases, group dynamics...) to identify suitable candidates from the point of view of technical and managerial skills.

Behavioural questionnaires: these are questionnaires that cast light on an applicant's behavioural style in work situations. The PPA by Thomas International, for example, is a universally effective behavioural questionnaire, which can be administered in 42 languages and managed remotely and is able to predict workplace behaviour and identify its main reasons.

Aptitude tests: these are tests that assess logical and verbal skills, and numerical and spatial reasoning.They consist of a set of multiple choices questions that must be answered within a set time.
The score is calculated by comparing the number of items that the candidate has answered correctly with the average given by a sample of people with the same characteristics, to whom the test was administered. The score can be therefore lower than, equal to, or better than average.

Group dynamics: aim to assess the ability to work as a team and some skills such as:

  • Leadership;
  • Independence;
  • Flexibility;
  • Creativity;
  • Result-oriented approach.

They are used to observe how candidates interact, collaborate or compete, to solve problems to achieve a specific goal. The findings complement the results obtained in aptitude tests, behavioural questionnaires and in the individual interviews.

Solutions of cases: tests used to assess technical expertise.
