3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
What 'fluent' actually means
Everyone writes 'fluent Dutch' on their CV. But what does that say? The language test places candidates at a measurable level, so you know who can really write a professional email and who can't.
02
Knockout in a quarter of an hour
A quick first filter. Candidates who don't have enough Dutch for the role drop out immediately, so your time goes to the ones who can move forward.
03
Three levels in one test
From basic spelling to complex sentence structure. Difficulty rises, so in one measurement you distinguish between 'can write a text message' and 'can write a report'.
Technical Details
A short hard-skills test in multiple-choice format, composed with language experts and focused on work-related Dutch. Self-developed by Selection Lab.

Information

Three levels

Basic (spelling, verb conjugation), intermediate (sentence structure, indirect speech) and advanced (complex grammar, reading comprehension).

Multiple choice, knockout format

No open answers, no subjective grading. Immediately clear who masters Dutch at work level and who doesn't yet.

Under time pressure

The test has a fixed time limit. Candidates answer as many questions as they can within that time, so you measure not just knowledge but also pace.

Instant insight into work level

After the test, the score lands in your dashboard immediately. At a glance you see whether a candidate is ready to handle emails, reports and customer communication.

Orange planet with irregular surface markings resembling craters or patches.

Grammar

Articles, cases, verb tenses and the rules that separate polished Dutch from bumpy Dutch.

Orange icon of a plus sign inside a dotted square.

Sentence structure
