Generally, SHL provide the aptitude tests for Ranstad Holding’s recruitment process. To pass the aptitude tests successfully utilise JobTestPrep’s unique and concise preparation packages.


Randstad Holding SHL Tests

Numerical Comprehension

Numerical comprehension tests are targeted at service apprentices, operational, commercial, customer & administrative staff. The tests check basic and moderate interpretation abilities of numerical data. That is, executing basic math operations with the use of a calculator and extracting relevant information from graphs and tables.

Verbal Analysis

Verbal analysis is an aptitude test designed to assess the ability to evaluate complex written information. The assessment contains a series of single and dual passages followed by four questions per passage which need to be answered based on the information presented.

Verbal Comprehension

Verbal comprehension tests measure candidates' ability to comprehend written text. A series of passages that relate to everyday issues (safety, short articles, product instructions) are followed by questions which need to be answered based on the information presented.

Popular question formats are:

  • Which of the following would best replace the word X while maintaining the meaning of the passage?
  • Which of the following is not mentioned...
  • Which of the following is correct/incorrect?

Diagrammatic Analysis

Diagrammatic reasoning tests, often confused with abstract reasoning and inductive reasoning tests, are aptitude tests administered by assessment companies. Unlike non-verbal reasoning tests, diagrammatic reasoning tests display a series of operators and outputs from which a candidate is to infer a set of rules and apply them to new situations. See more on the logical reasoning page.


Randstad Holding Kenexa-Style Tests

Numerical Reasoning

Numerical tests can vary in difficulty depending on the position you've applied to. For example, the application process for the graduate management training programme at Nomura includes a 20-minute (20 question) online numerical reasoning test followed by a supervised 35-minute, paper-based verification test—that is, if you make it past the initial screening stages.

Kenexa usually ensures that no two tests are identical and draws from a bank of questions for each test. Kenexa's numerical tests usually involve an analysis of multiple sources of compex data, such as graphs and charts. Calculations on the test are similar to those that will be expected of you in the position you've applied for.

Verbal Reasoning

The Kenexa verbal reasoning test comes in various forms and are often tailored to the type of job you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a managerial position, you will be presented with a passage that relates to that position. Hence these questions are not merely an assessing tool on your verbal reasoning skills but can also be used to assess your management skills.

Logical Reasoning

The Kenexa logical reasoning tests are more commonly known as inductive reasoning tests and they assess your ability to identify a pattern among a set of different objects. You then need to predict the missing object in the sequence.


Randstad Holding Situational Judgment Tests

Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) are a popular psychological tool used by assessment companies, employers, and organisations to evaluate applicants' behavioural and cognitive abilities when introduced with hypothetical, daily work-related situations. SJTs do not consist of one uniform format and do not focus on strict criteria, but rather they serve as a tailored evaluation tool for a variety of positions and business sectors. Therefore, different companies and diverse positions within an organisation require different questions and formats.


Randstad Holding Excel & Word Tests

Microsoft Office assessment tests are commonly found in pre-employment screening processes. JobTestPrep has designed Microsoft Office training packs based on the same topics you will be assessed on in your interview process.

The Excel User Test enables employers to understand a candidate's Microsoft Excel skills, as well as to establish if they are qualified for the offered position. This test usually has 10 and 25 questions per test.
