Love helping others thrive and have the best careers of their lives? Our Salesforce Certification team ensures our Salesforce customers and partners are enabled and certified to work with Salesforce products.

Job Responsibilities

This role is invaluable in designing and implementing assessment tools that accurately evaluate candidate suitability and employee potential. Below are examples of outputs we would expect of a Salesforce Psychometrician.

• Validity and Reliability Analysis: Conduct extensive analyses to evaluate the validity and reliability of assessments. Strong candidates would be familiar with statistical techniques, such as factor analysis, item response theory, and classical test theory, to assess validity and reliability.

• Quality Assurance: Oversee the ongoing maintenance and improvement of assessment instruments, monitoring their performance, identifying potential flaws or biases, and implementing revisions as needed to enhance their validity, reliability, and fairness.

• Norming and Standardization: Establish norms and standards for interpreting test scores. Analyze exam data to establish score distributions, percentile ranks, and other benchmarks that facilitate meaningful comparisons and decision-making.

• Build multiple equated forms (based on project criteria) and coordinate clear deliverables and reports to the relevant Exam Services team members to inform exam publishing. Include a specific number of simulations.

• Generate scaled scoring tables to manage score equating confidentially.

• Conduct special data forensic analyses towards the invalidation of scores when applicable, protecting the brand while ensuring the validity of the overall program.

• Conduct ad hoc or custom analyses as needed to identify problems and/or review fairness and flag potential bias or other issues that might be cause for concern.

• Compile summary reports of exam data with actionable items

• Monitor the quality, performance, consumption, and value of certifications and assessments by gathering feedback from and presenting solutions to stakeholders. Respond to feedback from exam candidates and contribute to the overall growth of the certification program and community

• Assist with activities related to customer-focused Salesforce events, such TrailheadX, Dreamforce, and World Tour events.
