 What Is the Lazard Online Assessment?

The Lazard Online Assessment is divided to three tests:

1. CCAT Test

The CCAT is a cognitive ability test that has four question types - Abstract, Verbal and Mathematical Reasoning, and Logical questions.

Overall, the test is hard, especially for candidates who are not used to solving problems under time pressure or haven’t touched high-school materials for years. Some question types, such as matrices and syllogisms, are more complex and require practice to master.

2. Personality Test

A personality assessment is a survey designed to analyze an individual's characteristics, drives, inclinations, and choices. Over recent years, employers have increasingly favored pre-employment personality evaluations as they provide recruiters with insight into candidates' work ethic, professional demeanor, and compatibility with both the role and the company's culture.

3. Video Interview

Utilizing pre-recorded interviews has become standard practice in the hiring procedures of leading organizations, ranging from Bloomberg to the Civil Service. These interviews evaluate various facets of your personality, abilities, competencies, drives, and motivations.

It's important to note that the pre-recorded interview doesn't supplant the traditional face-to-face interview but serves as a means to form an initial impression of candidates and gauge their work-related hard and soft skills.

During the pre-recorded interview, there's no direct interaction with an interviewer; instead, you'll stand before a camera and respond to pre-recorded questions or written prompts.
