Prepare for the Vertafore Assessment Test and Personality Test

Vertafore, and other Vista subsidiaries, use the Vista Partners Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT) which measures your problem-solving, skill-learning, and critical thinking abilities. The CCAT consists of 50 numerical, verbal, abstract and logic questions and has a 15-minute limit - only 18 seconds per question. 

The difficulty of the questions in the CCAT varies, however the main challenge is the time-limit which makes even straightforward questions potentially tricky. This is why learning to manage you time efficiently through accurate practice is crucial.

To learn everything about the CCAT assessment, visit our comprehensive prep guide.

Another important part of the Vertafore hiring process is the personality test. These take many forms, but essentially they all aim to measure your compatibility to the organization and the position, how you respond to pressure, your interpersonal skills, and other professional and personal traits. It is important to remember that in personality tests there are right and wrong answers, and preparation can help you understand the logic behind the test.

After you submit your application, résumé, and cover letter to Vertafore online, you will take their CCAT Assessment and personality tests. The Vertafore hiring process is possible to pass once you have a grasp over its process and the types of questions that will be asked. While the exact nature of the hiring process may vary depending on the position you are vying for, the cognitive & personality assessment run across multiple positions.

Most Vertafore Hiring Processes have four steps:

• Step 1: Fill out the online application form.
• Step 2: A company representative will contact you and ask you to take a cognitive & personality assessment exam.
• Step 3: Upon passing the test you will be invited for a phone call with an HR representative. You will be asked and can ask basic questions about the position and your past.
• Step 4: The last stage in the interview is an in-person interview in the company office. Depending on the position you are vying for this could include several interviews.

• Technical Position: If the position is technical in nature you will be asked “whiteboard” questions. For instance, the interviewer might show you a code and ask you to find an issue or ask you how you would test a particular software or system.
• Non-Technical Position: These questions are rather straightforward, but you will have to come prepared. You might be asked for instance why you chose Vertafore or why you left your last position.

Preparing your answers in advance for the aforementioned and similar Vertafore interview questions will help you sound confident and professional during the actual interview. It is also advised to visit Vertafore’s website and read about its mission and goals before you speak with its representatives.
