Hal yang diukur

Everyday email and calendar skill in Gmail and Google Calendar, with sound judgment in business email.

Email essentials

Candidates choose how to address, reply to, or forward a message and handle its attachments.

Professional email judgment

Scenarios ask candidates to choose an appropriate tone and course of action in business messages.

Gmail tools

Candidates decide how to organize and find mail with Gmail's own tools.

Calendar and events

Candidates work through scenarios about calendar events, invitations, and sharing.

Question formats

Multiple choice

The candidate: Reads a short situation, table or statement and picks the right answer, or every right answer.

You see: Whether the candidate knows the material well enough to apply it, not just recognize it.

16 questions in 10 minutes, served one at a time.

Roles this test fits

Executive and personal assistant roles, front desk and reception, customer support, office administration, coordinators, and any role whose day runs on email and shared calendars.

What this test can show

  1. Calendar work with stated time zones

    Google Calendar scenarios give times and time zones in the question, so you see whether a candidate reads an invitation or a shared event correctly.

  2. Answers about actions and results

    Each question asks for the right action in Gmail or the result it will have, which shows whether a candidate can predict what a reply, forward or filter will do.

  3. No dependence on screen pictures

    Inboxes, filters and schedules are described in words or small tables, so the score reflects how a candidate handles mail rather than where they remember a button sits.

Test integrity signals for review

Each candidate receives a different set of questions from large pools, in a different order, with shuffled answer options. The browser shows one question at a time, and answer keys stay on HireValid’s servers. The 10-minute timer runs on the server, so reloading returns the same question with only the time left, and candidates cannot go back. Question text cannot be copied, and a blocked copy attempt is recorded. Signals such as time away from the tab, pastes and very fast answers appear in an Integrity Score and evidence timeline for the employer to review; HireValid never decides on its own. With consent, random webcam photos can be added.

Use the score as evidence

Review the score alongside a work sample and a structured interview, not as a stand-alone decision or cut-off. For example, ask the candidate to handle a sample email and calendar request. This test may fit hiring for an Office Administrator, Receptionist or Customer Support Agent.

Pertanyaan wawancara terstruktur

  1. A manager asks you to send an update to a client and keep two colleagues informed. How would you set up the recipients, and why?

    Listen for a reasoned choice between direct recipients, copies and blind copies based on who needs to act and what the client should see.

  2. A coworker sends a message with an attachment and asks you to forward it. What would you check before sending?

    Listen for checking the intended recipients, attachment, and message context.

  3. How would you handle a calendar invitation when the stated time zone differs from yours?

    Listen for confirming the stated time and time zone before responding or sharing the event.

Fairness and accommodations

Every question describes what is on the screen in words or a small table, so nothing depends on recognizing a picture of a screen or remembering where a button sits. Questions keep to features of the current web version of Gmail and Google Calendar in a standard personal account with English (US) settings, and leave out features that depend on a paid plan, an administrator, a trial or a country. Scenarios use names from many backgrounds, everyday office situations, stated times and time zones, no money and no idioms, and etiquette questions keep to practices shared across workplaces rather than local customs of greeting or formality.

You can give any candidate extra time as an accommodation. Results are evidence for a person to review, never an automatic decision.

Provisional: reliability is reported once 200 candidates have completed it.
