Using Wonderlic Results in Decision Making

Beyond the Score

Wonderlic results are just one piece of the hiring puzzle. Employers often combine them with interviews, work samples, and other assessments.

Making Smart Choices

By comparing scores across applicants, companies can make more objective decisions. This helps reduce bias and ensures candidates are chosen for their abilities.

Setting Cut-off Scores

Organizations may use minimum scores to filter out candidates who may struggle with job demands. However, they should also consider other qualities like experience and attitude.

Legal and Ethical Use

It’s important for employers to use Wonderlic results fairly, ensuring the test is relevant to the role and does not discriminate.

The Big Picture

Wonderlic scores help, but they’re not the only factor in hiring success!

Examples

  • A company sets a cut-off score for customer service jobs but still interviews promising candidates with lower scores.

  • A hiring manager uses Wonderlic results to back up interview impressions.

In a Nutshell

Wonderlic results support fair, data-driven hiring, but should be used alongside other assessments.
