About the Hospitality (hotel incl. restaurant) test

Hospitality professionals are expected to frequently exceed the expectations of their guests. The success of hospitality businesses is therefore determined to a large extent by the ability of the staff to deliver a remarkable guest experience. This comes down to great teamwork, exceptional communication skills, strong time management, creativity, attention to detail, and many more soft skills. The breadth of this skillset is so wide, that careful recruitment and ongoing learning & development are critical success factors in the hospitality industry.

In this test, the candidate is evaluated on customer-centricity, positive attitude, effective communication, ethical standards, and situational judgment.

Multiple-choice questions assess these qualities using real-life scenarios. The candidate has to analyze the given information and identify the best answer.

Questions explore attitude, soft skills, and applied knowledge relevant to the hotel and restaurant industry. As such, this test helps you hire entry- to mid-level professionals working in, among others, front desk and floor operations roles, guest-relations, F&B operations, and (junior) management positions.

Review from G2

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.
