Dont knw how well you have experience of nigerian youths, just so you know, the employer has interviewed over 20 graduates and trust me, they all scored less than 15 in GMAT of 50 questions.
What do you make of that?
I only took the liberty to drop the advert on nairaland perhaps the knowledgeable ones could pick it up
The youths themselves, sometimes are not just employable
If you wow an employer, then you shld be proud to bargain your salary because you know your worth.

Now who is supposed to seat who up!!!

I am in talks with the CEO
I sincerely doubt they do
I will keep the group posted when they need more

They actually have an accountant, they one need one more person in accounts section, technically, the person's job function wont be that much
Mon - Fri (8 -5pm)
Aint life grande

Mr Employer, and how does GMAT score translates to good performance on the job. The fact that things are done in a particular way doesn't mean that is the best way. The company is recruiting for an accountant, what is wrong with function specific test?

You dont get it do you?
Have you ever wondered why organizations use GMAT or Psychometric tests as some call it as basis of employment?

Function specific jobs dont require function specific test oga
Any1 with d right set of mind can perform job based functions because every job comes with instructions and manuals
Now how do we set aside those that can read and understand the instructions and manuals from those that cant?

Why do you think some companies do profiling of staff before employing them.

The salary quoted above determines the kind of people that will be going for the interview. Better soup nah money kill am.
If u guys want to see a new set of eccentric candidates put that salary at 100,000 minimum and watch individuals come blast that GMAT.

I believe anybody that is made of quality, would be able to negotiate after aceing their apt test.

When u ace d test, u take interview then talk to them i want so so amt
They will not loose u knwing they hv found a star

That is why we get it all wrong. Have you wondered why companies with accountants still engaged accounting consulting firms to solve complex accounting transaction. They employ based on general knowledge using general testing methodology. GMAT or psychometric test is okay if it is test alongside job specific test. Most especially for some roles. Using them as the sole test for some test is not wise because those roles require certain expertise to be effective.

Do you also know that lots of accounting graduates can't prepare a simple excel sheet. That is why the profession has been taken over by engineers mostly who do their ican exams and other professional courses in accounting

Now judge yourself. Is GMAT testing preparation of account? Use of excel? We know the people you are talking about. Now listen, a smart engineer that is practicing accounting can never be compared to a smart accountant who has always been an accountant... There is difference. We have people that are not engineers supervising engineering work effectively after some training. Stop trying to justify the faulty assessment. GMAT and Psychometric test are usually used for graduate trainees who can be deployed to any unit of the organization. You are specific about employing an accountant here. Why then GMAT? .

Your point is understood

You are forgetting that employers dont employ you because you have studied a program related to the Job opening rather, they employ only those who will add value to them, of what use is an accountant that can use all account packages but lacks communication and self management skills to the company whereas there is an OND holder, who probably studied secretarial studies with great committment and motivation, and a damn good IQ.
Who do you think they would employ

The GMAT and the Psychometric tests are jst IQ based test to know how knowledgeable the applicants are.

This is why companies have different levels of interview starting with the aptitude test first.

Whatever knowledge they require of you on the job doesnt need to be written, they would rather ask you during interview. That is why there is something called On-the-Job-Training.

Well I get you. It’s good to test those aspects. I’m just concerned that GMAT and Psychometric test are now being taught. As such, passing it may be as a result of practice and not intelligence. God should just help us. There’s no rigid way of getting effective candidate for a role. It’s cool to be flexible atimes. I’ve gone for an interview where computer was given to work on excel. They knew the role requires good knowledge of excel and they probably don’t have provision for too much of training. Candidate may fail GMAT but still perform wonderfully well on the job. The test should address the need of the role if specific. However, GMAT could be a good way to shortlist when you have numerous candidate. Continue with the good work.
