Prepare for the PepsiCo Hiring Process & Assessment Test

Going through the recruitment process for PepsiCo can make you feel somewhat frazzled. JobTestPrep's comprehensive practice materials will help ease your mind and help you gain the confidence that you need to come out on top throughout the PepsiCo's hiring procedure.

The Wonderlic Personnel Test, also known as the Wonderlic Test, is the most popular among the Wonderlic tests. It is used in many industries for pre-employment selection and is designed to assess an applicant's ability to learn, adapt, solve problems, and understand instructions.

The two cognitive ability tests are the Wonderlic Personnel Test-QuickTest (WPT-Q) and the Wonderlic Personnel Test-Revised (WPT-R).

The Wonderlic Personnel Test-QuickTest (WPT-Q), previously known as the Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Pretest, is a short version of the WPT. Typically, you will encounter this version as part of a preliminary step in the application process. However, in some instances, it will determine your chances of progressing to the next step, while in other scenarios, it may only serve as an orientation test. The online and unprotected test consists of 30 questions which are to be completed within the 8-minute time limit.

The Wonderlic Personnel Test-Revised is also known as the Contemporary Cognitive Ability Test. This test has 50 questions which are to be completed within 12 minutes. With just over 14 seconds per question, the WPT-R requires strong analytic skills, quick response times, and good decision-making. It is used mainly in job selection and admissions processes. It is supervised and can be taken in hard copy and online versions.

Mechanical aptitude tests measure candidates' knowledge of mechanical and physical concepts. The exact topics may differ from one industry to another. For example, a military pilot candidate is more likely to be asked questions concerning machinery and terms common to the aviation industry, whereas an electrician or plumber will probably be asked questions about home appliances and other related mechanisms. These tests usually consist of multiple choice questions based on a given diagram. Succeeding in the test requires a good understanding of basic physics principles. Preparing in advance is necessary for optimal performance.

The Pepsi hiring process begins with a CandidateCare applicant tracking system (ATS). CandidateCare is used to screen your application/questionnaire, resume, and cover letter. This applicant tracking system assesses your answers and documents for keyword-specific phrases. Therefore, in order to have your paperwork successfully move forward in the hiring process, you want to be sure that your answers and documents properly align with the job description.

If your application is successful and you pass the assessments, you may be called for a telephone interview. If you are deemed as a promising candidate, then in-person and panel interviews will be coordinated. Be sure to review and practice for all types of interviews with our Interview PrepPack.

The first interview that Pepsi asks you to have is a phone interview. It is held by a Human Resources representative and may take up to half an hour. Questions posed in the phone interview are usually about educational background and working experience. The interviewer may also ask you about your former managers and why you left your previous workplace. You may also talk about the PepsiCo’s business, structure, and benefits it may offer you if you qualify for the applied position. If the phone interview goes well, you will be invited to take the PepsiCo’s tests, on the basis of which the recruiters will decide whether to move ahead with your candidacy and invite you for the second, in-person interview.
