Participating in assessments is a crucial step for setting up your professional profile on Sidekicker. This article explains common feedback themes for assessment outcomes, role-specific requirements, retake policies, and procedural steps to help you navigate the platform effectively.
Overview of the Assessment Process
Assessments on Sidekicker play a key role in determining your suitability for different roles. Your responses are reviewed by the onboarding team based on:
Depth and clarity of your answers: Ensure your responses are structured, concise, and detailed.
Relevance to the job role: Highlight role-specific experience and familiarity with required tools or techniques.
Practical demonstration of skills: Include any required videos or examples demonstrating role-relevant skills (e.g., safe lifting techniques for warehousing roles or customer service techniques for hospitality roles).
Accuracy and fit: Responses should be factually accurate and reflect the role requirements clearly.
Common Feedback and Reasons for Failed Assessments
Failing an assessment can result from several factors, such as:
Insufficient detailing of experience: Highlight any hands-on experience aligned with the role. Generalized work descriptions may not suffice. For instance, indicating prior experience with warehouse operations is not enough without describing direct RF scanner usage or inventory management techniques.
Unclear or incomplete responses: Responses lacking structure or coherence may diminish your evaluation score.
Omission of required demonstrations: Ensure you’re submitting all necessary materials (e.g., videos demonstrating safe techniques or specific capabilities like a three-plate carry).
Inaccuracies or limited depth in problem-solving: Clear identification of job hazards and well-proposed solutions aligned to the role is critical.
