KP Pre-Hire Assessments
KP Pre-Hire Assessments
Kaiser’s Talent Acquisition states that for some positions pre-hire assessments testing aptitude, behavior, skills (e.g. typing, data entry), and job knowledge may be required.
1.
Review the Kaiser job posting to see if pre-hire assessments are required.
- Common assessments include typing, basic computer literacy, cash handling, customer service and medical terminology.

Additional Requirements:
- Must successfully pass basic computer literacy test and demonstrate key boarding proficiency.
