  1. LIMITATIONS TO THE USE OF TESTING INFORMATION

3.1 Limitation of use. Any test/assessment from the HIREBOX testing platform has the sole purpose of evaluating a person’s potential against a specific job, in a specific work environment. It helps the employer undertake a matching analysis or compatibility check between required job qualifications and the evaluated person’s professional experience, skills and motivations.

No test from the HIREBOX testing platform can be used as a judgment tool; it should be exclusively used as part of a complete selection or evaluation procedure, including a formal interview, a thorough technical skills analysis and a background check – or a full performance review, in respect of applicable national laws.

3.2 Use of formal procedure. Never use any test from HIREBOX to judge a person, but rather to know and understand him/her better. Consider any test from HIREBOX as a powerful companion to your overall selection and/or evaluation procedure. It will help you confirm what you might have observed during an interview and/or challenge what you might not have seen.

The purpose of our tools on the HIREBOX testing platform is to evaluate a candidate’s or employee’s soft skills against a specific job, in a specific work environment. It helps you do a «matching analysis» or «compatibility check» between required job-based soft skills qualifications and the candidate’s or employee’s professional experience, skills, and motivations.

3.3 Understanding low traits. Some traits in any test from HIREBOX may present very low scores – a potential indicator that the evaluated person has recently gone through some serious difficulties or bad experience, at work or in life. Please ensure that you thoroughly read and understand the comments provided in this profile report, specifically related to these very low traits. As a matter of facts, a major failure, loss, disappointment, etc… could temporarily “collapse” one’s personality and behavior characteristics. Any of our tests will provide such comments when we believe it might be applicable.

The provided information in any test from HIREBOX does not necessarily represent a complete “picture” of the evaluated person. In case of doubt, you can contact the service support of your test provider.

3.4 Rights of testees. Per applicable laws related to privacy (specifically per the E.E.O.A. in the USA – Equal Employment Opportunity Act and per GDPR – General Data Protection Regulations), no candidate or employee can be forced to fill a productivity or personality test for selection purposes. Also, anyone filling a test for selection purposes has a right to have access to the provided information. CLIENT thus agrees to comply with all applicable laws regarding privacy, non-discrimination regulations as well as protection of personal data, regarding the use of the HIREBOX platform in relation to applicants and/or evaluated existing staff.
