How We Vet Help Desk Support Specialist Candidates

Every candidate typically goes through validated skills assessments powered by TestGorilla:
- Helpdesk & Ticketing Systems: Evaluates ticket management, escalation procedures, and support workflow proficiency;
- Technical Support: Tests basic IT troubleshooting and system administration capabilities;
- Communication: Assesses ability to gather information effectively and provide clear technical guidance;
- Time Management: Measures ability to prioritize support requests and meet service level agreements.
We seamlessly integrate your custom tests, IT scenario simulations, or help desk software evaluations into our vetting process. Whether using our standard assessments or your specialized requirements, only candidates who demonstrate genuine expertise make it through our evaluation.
