Skills-based Assessment

Skills-based assessment is a method used to evaluate a person’s specific abilities related to a particular task or job. Instead of just looking at their education or experience, it involves practical tests or exercises that directly measure how well they can perform relevant skills. For example, a cooking test for a chef or a coding challenge for a programmer. This approach helps employers or evaluators get a clear picture of a person’s actual capabilities, ensuring they’re suitable for the role based on demonstrated competence rather than just credentials.
