Purpose
What is a receptionist? The receptionist is the face of your company. Their personality, attitude, and sophistication reflects your values and culture. Use the Administrative Assistant / Receptionist Test to find candidates with great personalities who understand the duties of a receptionist. This test identifies receptionists who can deal with visitors to your business or office and treat them in a pleasant, cordial manner. They’re also sensitive to the need to restrict access as required. This test also incorporates a mental ability component to find those receptionists that are a cut above and could move forward in your organization.
