Staff Admin Assignment Task Check

Check an administrative staff work-sample task for consistent instructions, scoring anchors and timing before candidates complete it.

What to provide

Draft work-sample task, instructions, time limit, scoring anchors, required tools and the job's documented administrative duties.

Workflow

1. Compare each task element with the documented administrative duties and remove steps that test unrelated skills.
2. Check instructions for ambiguous quantities, dates or names; every value a candidate needs must appear exactly once.
3. Confirm every scored dimension has an observable scoring anchor, not an impression.
4. Return flagged gaps without administering the task or scoring real candidates.

Output contract

Task element | instruction present | duty link | scoring anchor | ambiguity | proposed fix | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional task asks for a 15-minute inbox triage while its time limit field says 20 minutes, and one of four scored dimensions has no anchor. Flag the time conflict and the missing anchor; 3 of 4 dimensions have anchors.

Review gates and limits

Re-check that every quantity in the task appears in the instructions exactly once. Never score real candidate work in this check.
