Pre-employment tests for hospitality workers

Testing hospitality workers before you hire seems like a no-brainer since this industry more than almost any other depends on a reliable, customer service skilled workforce.

And yet the rate of turnover in this industry is 2 to 3 times the rate of all other industries. It’s difficult to ensure that customers will be treated as special guests when the people delivering that service enter and leave through a revolving door.

That’s where Success Performance Solutions’ pre employment tests for hospitality workers are invaluable tools. Our test help hotels, spas, and restaurants with everything from finding the right housekeeper to restaurant manager recruitment. Whether you are screening for your next housekeeper, managers, or food service worker, you can’t afford to make the wrong choice. A bad hire doesn’t only waste time and money but often results in the loss of good customers due to bad service.

Pre-employment tests for hospitality workers are available on our Elite, Big 5, ASSESS, and eSkill employment testing software. Success Performance Solutions can help you screen candidates for the following management and associate level jobs:
