About the Health Care Aide test

The right health care aide can be transformational in the lives of patients and their loved ones. Whether in the context of a care facility, a patient’s home, or a similar environment, health care aides are on the front lines of fostering patient quality-of-life. This position requires the mastery of both care techniques and interpersonal skills.

The best aides provide a wide range of services to clients, acting as care-givers, companions, advocates, and liaisons with other health care providers. Whether you are hiring a nursing assistant, home care aide, or personal carer, finding the best personnel will have an enormous impact on the health, safety, and wellness of your clients.

This Health Care Aide test evaluates candidates’ abilities to apply patient care techniques, provide basic life support and first-aid, and assist in activities of daily living. This test will also assess candidates’ soft skills in patient interaction.

Candidates who perform well on this screening test will have the appropriate knowledge and intuition required to provide outstanding care to your patients. These candidates will excel in promoting not only the health and safety of the patients they interact with, but the patients’ dignity and broader well-being.

Review from

David Felipe C.

VP of engineering, mid-market (51-1000 FTE)

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.

FAQs

An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.

A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now."

Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
