The test is designed very well where it tests you different aspect of data comprehension. From data reading, data analysis, Excel formula, inference, and pattern recognition. The free response test is very interesting where it is simple enough to test your communication skill.

This was a very eye-opening assessment. I loved using alooba and the way the assessment was formatted. It was also great to see how some of the knowledge I gained from university can be applied to real-life scenarios and business problems.

Our Customers Say
I was at WooliesX (Woolworths) and we used Alooba and it was a highly positive experience. We had a large number of candidates. At WooliesX, previously we were quite dependent on the designed test from the team leads. That was quite a manual process. We realised it would take too much time from us. The time saving is great. Even spending 15 minutes per candidate with a manual test would be huge - hours per week, but with Alooba we just see the numbers immediately.
