SJT that evaluates 10 constructs | PART OF ALTUS SUITE
What is Casper?
Casper is an online, open-response situational judgement test that evaluates what an applicant would do in a tough situation and, more importantly, why. Applicants have five minutes to respond to a set of questions for each video or text-based scenario.
These responses are then reviewed by Casper raters, a diverse group of people who undergo extensive training on Casper and implicit bias. Each applicant is rated by multiple raters (1 rater per scenario) so that the final aggregate score you receive reflects diverse perspectives.
