🧐 Question

Medium

PV of customer segments
Market Segmentation
ROI
CLV
Solve
A retail company is exploring new customer segments to increase sales. You are provided with the following data on three potential customer segments:

Segment A:

- Average annual revenue per customer: $500
- Average customer retention rate: 80%
- Average customer acquisition cost: $200
- Expected segment size: 2,000 customers

Segment B:

- Average annual revenue per customer: $750
- Average customer retention rate: 70%
- Average customer acquisition cost: $300
- Expected segment size: 1,500 customers

Segment C:

- Average annual revenue per customer: $1,000
- Average customer retention rate: 60%
- Average customer acquisition cost: $400
- Expected segment size: 1,000 customers
Assuming a 10% discount rate, which customer segment should the company target to maximize the return on investment? A target customer segment would have higher customer lifetime value (CLV). Note that CLV is calculated by using the following formula:

CLV = (Average Annual Revenue per Customer * Gross Margin %) * (Retention Rate / (1 + Discount Rate - Retention Rate)) - Customer Acquisition Cost

Positive correlation
Solve
Myra is working on her thesis for which she created a scatter plot of the number of teachers and the number of college graduates for cities in Australia. She noticed a positive correlation. Which of these do you think is the probable explanation for this correlation?
A: Teachers encourage people to go to college, so an increase in the number of teachers leads to an increase in the number of college graduates. 

B: Some college graduates choose teaching as a profession after graduating, so an increase in the number of college graduates also leads to an increase in the number of teachers.

C: There are more college graduates and teachers in higher income cities, so income is a confounding variable here, make it difficult to prove causation between number of teachers and number of college graduates. 

D: Cities with a higher population have more teachers and more college graduates, so the correlation is due to a third variable (population of city).

E: The provided data is insufficient, so it is extremely difficult to establish the reason for the correlation.

F: Most college students choose non-teaching professions after graduating, which explains the correlation. 

G: In Australia, college students are encouraged by their teachers to choose teaching as a profession after graduating.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Business Analyst IT Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the Business Analyst IT Test from your dashboard by entering their email address.

Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

API or integrations: You can invite candidates directly from your ATS by using our pre-built integrations with popular ATS systems or building a custom integration with your in-house ATS.

Lees meer over de Proctoring -functies.

Hoe interpreteer ik testscores?

Het belangrijkste om in gedachten te houden is dat een beoordeling een eliminatietool is, geen selectietool. Een vaardighedenbeoordeling is geoptimaliseerd om u te helpen kandidaten te elimineren die niet technisch gekwalificeerd zijn voor de rol, het is niet geoptimaliseerd om u te helpen de beste kandidaat voor de rol te vinden. Dus de ideale manier om een ​​beoordeling te gebruiken is om een ​​drempelscore te bepalen (meestal 55%, wij helpen u benchmark) en alle kandidaten uit te nodigen die boven de drempel scoren voor de volgende interviewrondes.

Voor welk ervaringsniveau kan ik deze test gebruiken?

Elke ADAFACE -beoordeling is aangepast aan uw functiebeschrijving/ ideale kandidaatpersonage (onze experts van het onderwerp zullen de juiste vragen kiezen voor uw beoordeling uit onze bibliotheek van 10000+ vragen). Deze beoordeling kan worden aangepast voor elk ervaringsniveau.

Krijgt elke kandidaat dezelfde vragen?

Ja, het maakt het veel gemakkelijker voor u om kandidaten te vergelijken. Opties voor MCQ -vragen en de volgorde van vragen worden gerandomiseerd. We hebben anti-cheating/proctoring functies. In ons bedrijfsplan hebben we ook de optie om meerdere versies van dezelfde beoordeling te maken met vragen over vergelijkbare moeilijkheidsniveaus.

Ik ben een kandidaat. Kan ik een oefentest proberen?

Nee. Helaas ondersteunen we op dit moment geen oefentests. U kunt echter onze voorbeeldvragen gebruiken voor praktijk.

Wat zijn de kosten van het gebruik van deze test?

U kunt onze [prijsplannen] bekijken (https://www.adaface.com/pricing/).
