Southern Company utilizes employment selection testing on certain jobs to identify and assess a candidate's abilities and skills when they are required. Our employment selection tests have been validated and shown to be job-related, fair, objective and a consistent means to help identify qualified candidates for these jobs.

How does employment selection testing work?

Southern Company administers tests and other selection procedures as prerequisites for hiring. The tests and other selection procedures make a significant contribution to fair, valid, and objective employee selection. The tests are designed to measure the candidates’ abilities and skills, knowledge, behaviors and performance potential for the identified positions The tests have been validated and shown to be job-related and a consistent means to help identify qualified candidates for the identified positions. Southern Company’s hiring processes allows for any applicable selection testing at the time of such hiring and the testing is by invitation only.

How do I prepare for testing?

If you have received an invitation to test or are interested in the types of tests administered, we encourage you to access practice tests or test preparation materials that may be available. Utilizing these practice tests or preparation resources may improve your chances of qualifying. Due to the nature of some of the selection testing administered, preparation materials are not applicable to the testing and may not be available.

Some of the selection testing at Southern Company includes Edison Electric Institute (EEI) test batteries. EEI practice tests are available for tests of basic ability (i.e., Analytic Thinking Skills, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematical Usage). EEI does not provide practice tests for tests that assess an individual’s preferred work style, behavior, and environment (i.e., Work Preferences Inventory). EEI practice tests for CAST-R, MASS, POSS, SO/PD II and TECH test batteries are available at eei.org with the login information provided below (you may need to disable your pop-up blocker or allow pop-ups from eei.org).

How do I inquire about accessibility or request an accommodation?

Candidates are given channels to request an accommodation in connection with the use of selection testing. If you have received an invitation and are a person with a disability and need an accommodation, please contact Southern Company Testing Program to inquire about accessibility or request an accommodation. The testing program will contact you.

When will I obtain my results after testing?

Candidates will receive test results by email notification. In most cases, test results delivery time should not exceed three weeks.

I qualified on a test. What is next?

The pool of test-qualified candidates is reviewed by a recruiter and/or hiring manager, and candidates are selected to advance in the employment selection process. If you are not selected to advance in the employment selection process, your qualified test results may be considered valid until the position and/or test requirements change or only for a specific period of time. Retest policies vary based on selection test and expiration of test results in accordance with policy.

I did not qualify on a test. What is next?

In order to retake a test, you must reapply for a new position with the selection test requirement. Selected candidates receive test invitation email(s) for applicable testing based on retest eligibility. Retest policies vary based on the selection test (e.g., 0, 45, 90, 180 days from last attempt) and eligibility for retesting is in accordance with policy.
