About the Six Sigma test

Hiring a candidate with strong Six Sigma skills can benefit your business in several ways. Six Sigma experts help organizations make decisions based on data rather than assumptions or guesswork, leading to more effective strategies and actions.

They promote a data-driven culture and create a culture of continuous improvement, fostering innovation and growth. Their ability to identify problem areas, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement can help streamline and improve the processes, leading to enhanced customer satisfaction and reduced costs.

This Six Sigma test evaluates candidates’ abilities to do the following:

  • Identify problems and perform root cause analysis

  • Collect, organize, and analyze data to make informed decisions

  • Use statistical methods to make data-driven conclusions

  • Anticipate potential failure modes and risks, their impact, and the strategies to mitigate the risks

  • Clearly define project scope, objectives, deliverables, and stakeholders' expectations

  • Create detailed project plans, timelines, deliverables, and resource management

  • Identify and manage stakeholders

  • Communicate across all levels; challenge the status quo, drive discussions, constructively address conflicts, and focus on collaborative problem solving

  • Facilitate solution generation and prioritization; apply Lean Six Sigma principles to practical challenges

This screening test will help you identify specialists in process improvement, operational improvement, and business excellence. It will also help you identify Lean Six Sigma experts or consultants, process engineers, process experts, quality managers, and continuous improvement leads who have a strong understanding of various problem solving, quality, and statistical tools and are responsible for nurturing a data-driven improvement culture, leading a process or driving efficiency, productivity, and quality improvements across the organization.

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
