Wonderlic Select has offered our company a far more streamlined tool for assessing candidates than prior providers we have worked with.

The data provided is insightful in learning the candidate's Cognitive Ability, Motivation, and Personality. It is concise and easy for our less-experienced hiring managers to understand and navigate.

Say Goodbye to Generic Assessments

Identify fit with job-specific precision

Generic assessment can't capture what success looks like in your roles.

Wonderlic Select's assessments measure the qualities that truly drive performance so you can hire candidates who fit the work, not just the description.

With built-in role benchmarks that go beyond what others provide, you get accurate, ready-to-use results that make it easy to find quality hires without customization or guesswork.

Predict Candidate Success

Reveal who will perform and stay

Most assessments capture only part of the picture.

Wonderlic Select combines cognitive ability, motivation, and personality into one predictive score that reveals how well each candidate fits your specific role.

This multi-measure approach delivers the highest prediction of job success available, helping you identify the people who will perform, stay, and strengthen your business.

Bring Clarity to Every Hiring Decision

Use predictive insights to choose with confidence

Wonderlic Select transforms hiring assessments into actionable insights that reveal who's most likely to perform and stay.

By turning complex candidate data into clear, predictive results, you gain the clarity to make every hiring decision with confidence.

This data-driven approach improves quality of hire and reduces turnover, helping you build stronger, more reliable teams.

Maximize the Power of People Science

Turn proven insights into simple, predictive results

Wonderlic Select applies people science to everyday hiring decisions.

Our pre employment assessment combines three proven predictors of job performance into a single, easy-to-understand score that highlights who will perform and stay:

Cognitive Ability: Can your candidate do the job?

Personality: How will they do the job?

Motivation: Do they want to do the job?

Invest Time on the Highest-Potential Candidates Sooner

Wonderlic Select helps hiring teams save time by identifying high-potential candidates early in the process.

Wonderlic Select gives hiring managers a clear, side-by-side view of each candidate's fit for the job. By using consistent, job-specific assessment data, teams can evalutate candidates objectively and make fair, data-driven hiring decisions that predict on-the-job success.

With Wonderlic Select, hiring managers can:

The Wonderlic Advantage

A logo for the Hiring Assessment platform features five dots and elongated shapes arranged in a horizontal pattern, starting small and increasing in size from left to right. The gradient of colors shifts from pink on the left to yellow on the right.
BETTER CANDIDATE PREDICTIONS FROM MULTI-MEASURE INSIGHTS

Wonderlic optimizes your hiring decisions by allowing you to assess all your candidates on the top three predictors of job performance: cognitive ability, personality, and motivation.

Other assessment providers limit your ability to find top candidates and is less predictive, only focusing on only one or two constructs. Also, some providers require you to pay per assessment, making it more challenging to assess all your candidates.

UNDERSTAND PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL: JOB-SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT RESULTS FOR EVERY ROLE

Job-specific assessment results increase the effectiveness of hiring decisions. Wonderlic is the only provider with off-the-shelf scoring profiles covering all existing and emerging jobs in the market today.

Other assessment providers offer limited insight into candidates' performance in the role, using generic job groupings that lack context or no role-specific results at all.

MAKE SMARTER HIRING DECISIONS WITH STREAMLINED DATA INSIGHTS

Easily compare candidates using a single score with fair and consistent data points for accurate decision-making during the screen-out process.

Other assessments can lead to subjective and inconsistent interpretation of results due to end users having to review a list of psychometric scales.

IMPLEMENTATION MADE EASY

Wonderlic is simple to use and understand for everyone off the shelf: HR, hiring managers, and candidates. No paid certifications are needed.

Other assessment providers' results are not intuitive and require paid certification to interpret.
