Test Assessor Contractor - Casper Rater

Acuity Insights is on a mission to create a world served by exceptional professionals.

We do that by helping higher education institutions select, nurture and graduate the most well-rounded students with technical and social skills, ensuring that when they enter the workplace as physicians, teachers, engineers or any other profession, they are equipped to serve our communities with social intelligence and cultural competency.

We are growing our community of Test Assessors in Australia who wants to be part of our mission, contributing on a casual contractor basis.

Casper is our online, open-response situational judgment test (SJT) that evaluates social intelligence and professionalism. It supports a holistic review process by providing academic programs with a reliable and valid measure of applicants’ soft skills. It helps predict which students will succeed in-program and in work placement.

Casper complements existing admissions tools that measure academic and technical skills while reducing bias and contributing to a more fair and equitable admissions process.

As a Test Assessor (otherwise known as a Rater) for Acuity, you help level the playing field in Higher Education admissions. You will directly impact applicants' future and support the admissions process and selection decisions.

You get a chance to:

• Leverage the virtual onboarding and implicit bias training we provide you to rate the Casper test responses of applicants of academic programs we partner with across Australia.
• Read applicant responses and analytically and thoughtfully assign scores as you compare them to the overall pool of test takers.
• Work 100% remotely and at your own pace.
• Provide feedback to help us improve and optimize our tests, platforms, and content.
• Participate in ongoing refresher training.

It is a casual contractor/hobby position that can provide you supplemental income, earning you, on average, between $30-35 / hour when test responses are available to rate. While there’s no guaranteed minimum work as responses are available on a first-come, first-served basis, you will have access to a quarterly Casper testing schedule, allowing flexibility to choose when to work and estimate potential earnings.

• Reside and eligible to work in Australia.
• Native / Bilingual Proficiency in English language.
• Have knowledge and experience of Australian culture.
• Feel strongly aligned with our company's mission.
• Are someone with an empathetic and analytical mindset.
• Embody our core values of Caring, Curious and Driven; excited to help us improve the rating process and platform as part of your work.
• Can demonstrate a high level of comfort working with technology.
• Have your own desktop/laptop computer to work on (tablets and cellular devices are not acceptable)
• CANNOT currently be a student or have plans of pursuing higher education. This qualifies as a conflict of interest as you may be required to take your own Casper test in the future.
