The commercial banking test evaluates core job capabilities essential to success in credit, client servicing, and portfolio management roles. This mobile-responsive, text-based assessment measures how candidates analyze loan requests, interpret financial documents, respond to objections, and navigate compliance-driven decisions under pressure. Ideal for pre-hire and post-hire use, the test identifies banking professionals who can handle B2B client interactions, structure credit proposals, and drive revenue while managing risk. Designed to mirror real commercial banking tasks, it delivers job-fit insights before interviews begin. Ready to identify high-performing candidates?
The Commercial Banking Skills Test is purpose-built to align banking talent with job expectations across relationship, credit, and operations functions. This pre-employment assessment evaluates a balanced mix of behavioral strengths—such as customer orientation, attention to detail, and adaptability—alongside high-impact cognitive abilities like financial literacy, numerical reasoning, and decision-making under pressure.
Recruiters gain clear insight into candidates’ ability to interpret financial ratios, respond to loan objections, and deliver client service that meets commercial standards. Each scenario reflects real pressures faced in daily banking operations, such as interpreting balance sheets, responding to compliance triggers, or managing time-sensitive corporate requests.
When used for pre-hire, it reduces the risk of mis-hires and speeds up shortlisting. In post-hire, it supports targeted onboarding and internal mobility planning. Whether hiring for front-line relationship roles or credit-heavy analyst positions, this test ensures fit, skill, and speed in one simple step.
