HR Pre-Hire Assessment

BGAP's pre-hire assessment gives every data analyst candidate a real business problem to solve, a scenario to navigate, and a knowledge test to pass. You get a ranked shortlist, not a pile of CVs.

Correct technique across all three parts, and could explain the business reasoning behind each decision. Ready to move to interview.
The Problem

Hiring analysts is broken.

The current process filters for people who interview well, not people who work well. BGAP fixes that.

CVs overstate real ability
Candidates list tools they have barely touched. Interviews test confidence, not competence. You cannot tell who can actually do the work.
Generic tests miss domain fit
Off-the-shelf SQL tests have nothing to do with Nigerian banking data or East African retail operations. Scores mean little without context.
Bad hires are expensive
A data analyst who cannot translate findings into business decisions costs more than the time it takes to find the right one. The gap shows up within weeks.

The Assessment

Three parts. One picture.

Technical skill alone does not make a good analyst. BGAP tests the full picture: tool proficiency, business judgment, and domain knowledge.

Technical Challenge
Can they actually use the tools?
Candidates solve a real business problem in SQL, Python, or Excel. Peda AI scores their work the way a senior analyst would: not just whether the syntax runs, but whether the thinking is sound.
Real Nigerian industry datasets
Business context, not toy problems
AI scoring with detailed rubric
Branching Scenario
Do they make good business decisions?
Candidates navigate a decision-tree simulation where every choice has consequences. The scenario reveals how they handle ambiguity, stakeholder pressure, and incomplete data.
Multi-stage business simulations
Tests judgment under pressure
No single right answer, scored on reasoning
Knowledge Quiz
Is their foundation solid?
A timed quiz covering the core concepts behind the tools. Drawn from a curated question bank built specifically for African analytics roles.
Timed with tab-switch detection
Assessment-level integrity controls
Scores weighted into final ranking
