Monster Applicant Assessment

Discover the most qualified candidates with a federal applicant testing platform

The selection of high-quality applicants for critical vacancies has a direct impact on a federal agency’s ability to achieve its mission. Finding highly qualified candidates for a job can be difficult and candidate self-reporting oftentimes is insufficient or inaccurate. The White House issued an Executive Order to encourage agencies to utilize skills-based assessments and OPM has allowed agencies until December 31, 2022 to meet full compliance. Good news: Monster Applicant Assessment is here to help.

Monster Applicant Assessments is an applicant testing platform that allows federal agencies to assess job candidates – based on competencies, technical skills, experience, and more – all within the application process for a seamless applicant experience. MonsterGov’s solution is federally compliant, FedRAMP-secure, and meets EO 13932 requirements for agencies implementing skills-based hiring. 

This unique platform goes beyond traditional occupational questionnaires and measures a wide variety of critical job factors to help federal agencies to identify the most qualified applicants. Our testing platform and assessment catalog integrates with Monster Hiring Management Enterprise (MHME) to automatically populate scores and improves the federal hiring process by accurately, consistently, and reliably measuring candidate proficiency. MonsterGov's I/O Psychologists can also work with your agency's subject matter experts (SMEs) to develop custom assessments for unique federal jobs or mission-critical positions. For even better results, agencies can leverage the Job Analysis module within MHME to accurately determine critical competencies and tasks to inform the selection of assessments.

Unbiased Results 

Monster Applicant Assessment brings a data-driven approach to the federal selection process by providing empirical tests to identify applicant capabilities beyond their self-reported proficiency. Unlike traditional occupational questionnaires, which can inflate applicant scores, Monster Applicant Assessment provides tests that measure critical requirements in an unbiased way.

Standardized Assessments

MonsterGov offers two off-the-shelf standardized test batteries that can be used across federal supervisory or non-supervisory positions. We also construct agency-specific batteries from our catalog of validated tests to target particular competencies or test experience characteristics. These batteries can be combined with other assessments (e.g., Training and Experience (T&E) questions, structured interviews) in the selection process for a deeper understanding of candidates’ qualifications. 

Seamless Integration with your Federal Talent Acquisition System

The Monster Applicant Assessment candidate testing platform is fully integrated with our industry-leading federal talent acquisition system. Assessments can be added during the vacancy building process and administered as part of the application process. Results are displayed in real-time alongside all other applicant information in the Applicant Tracking System, Monster Hiring Management, and agencies can determine how long results can be reused by an applicant.
