Can contractors utilize an employment test (such as a personality, knowledge or physical capability test) as part of the online application process?
Nothing in the Internet Applicant rule would prohibit the practice. However, employment tests used as employee selection procedures, including on-line tests, are not considered basic qualifications under the Internet Applicant rule and contractors are required to retain records about the gender, race and ethnicity of the individuals who take a test used to screen them for employment, and other records made or kept about the test, regardless of whether the test takers are Internet Applicants under section 60-1.3.
