Aldie, VA (November 6, 2017) - HR Avatar Pre-Employment Tests, a leading provider of online, simulation-based employment tests, has released Voice Check Tests. These tests measure a person’s speaking skills.
All roles, including customer support, sales, management, transportation, and analysis, require the ability to listen to your colleagues and customers, process information, and share feedback or insights.
The Voice Check represents a great leap forward in assessment technology. The test evaluates a person's ability to carry on a verbal conversation with a native English speaker. Test takers use their web browser and a phone connection to speak, read, and listen in English.
The assessment leverages multiple modern technologies for voice recognition: speech-to-text, natural language processing, auto-translation, and machine learning-based essay scoring and presentation analysis to evaluate the ability of a person to carry on a natural conversation in a specific language.
HR Avatar’s Voice Check goes farther than virtually any other voice test by measuring the way other humans will perceive the speaking style of the test taker. Referred to as either Positive or Negative Vibes, and modeled after VoiceVibe's innovative technology, these attributes measure how effective the test taker will be at communicating.
The specific attributes and vibes measured include:
Compulsory Oral and Aural Skills and Abilities
- Speaking Clearly
- Hearing and Understanding
- Repeating Back Clearly
- Responding Clearly
Free-Form Speaking Abilities
- Sharing Thoughts Clearly
- Pace Variety
- Volume Variety

In addition to receiving scores on the above, the tests also provide an audio sample of the candidate’s speaking. So employers can listen to how the candidate presents an idea.
"We've come a long way from paper-based, multiple-choice assessments," explained HR Avatar CEO Mike Russiello. "We're thrilled to be the first on the market to offer Voice Check tests, and we have other languages on the way."
Voice Check tests include:
Voice Check: Customer Service (English)
Voice Check: General Work-Related (English)
