Test PowerPoint and find candidates who make your ideas shine!

A good presentation is more than just a few slides: it must captivate, structure information and convey a clear message.

But do your candidates really know how to exploit the full potential of PowerPoint? Can they design clear, dynamic presentations, organize their content effectively and use animations and transitions professionally? Interviews give a glimpse of knowledge, but they’re not a good predictor of actual ability to use PowerPoint effectively.

With Zmartests’ immersive tests, assess your candidates in real-life conditions and identify those who have mastered the art of presentation, so you can recruit with confidence.

Don’t Underestimate the Dunning-Kruger Effect!

Candidates tend to assert that they possess skills well above their actual level. This is the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias that translates into over-confidence. This discrepancy between perception and reality is often cited by recruiters.
