Project Coordinator Test
This personality + aptitude test helps discover adaptable, organized candidates with first-rate interpersonal skills.
Pre-Employment Test
Purpose and When to Use It: RA’s Project Coordinator Test is useful for screening potential employees whose primary responsibilities are planning and organizing short or long-term projects with a focus on task, communication, time, and budget management. The Project Coordinator Test should be used to find personable but assertive multi-taskers who are flexible, perseverant, detail-minded employees who can see projects through to completion. The most successful candidates will also be good time managers, able to work alone or collaboratively and possess superior interpersonal skills.

- A untimed personality assessment
