In-Basket Exercises

In-Basket Exercises are assessments used by employers to evaluate how well candidates handle typical workplace tasks. Candidates are given a set of simulated work-related materials, such as emails, memos, and reports, and asked to prioritize, organize, and respond to them within a limited time. This process tests skills like decision-making, time management, communication, and problem-solving. It mimics real job scenarios, providing insight into a candidate’s ability to manage responsibilities efficiently and effectively in a professional setting.
