About the Google Slides test

A well-defined project roadmap plan, a creative pitch for a new product, and a clear, well-structured infographic presenting interesting data and findings are all artifacts that are commonly created with Google Slides. A strong level of understanding of Google Slides’ functionalities and the ability to design a cohesive slide deck are essential for crafting a powerful presentation.

The Google Slides test for professionals assesses candidates’ knowledge of the various features Google Slides has to offer. Through questions that focus and expand on the different core functions of the tool, this test evaluates candidates’ ability to create and display objects and visual assets, their skills in structuring and arranging the latter within slides, and their knowledge of productivity and collaboration features within Google Slides.

Candidates who perform well on this test know how to use Google Slides proficiently, utilizing core layout and design functions. They know how to order slides and distribute components within them in favor of more harmonious presentations. The test ensures that these candidates can also create slide decks that clearly and logically communicate business goals, objectives, initiatives, and results within your company in a clear and efficient manner, boosting productivity and increasing alignment within your teams.

Review from

David Felipe C.

VP of engineering, mid-market (51-1000 FTE)

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.

FAQs

An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.

A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now."

Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
