Let's talk about why English Proficiency tests can be problematic! For example, I only scored 89/100 on this Non-native English Proficiency test! The problem? I'm a native speaker! I have a Masters Degree in Linguistics, and I literally specialized in Second Language Acquisiton/Teaching English as a second language. Yet, on a test measuring English proficiency, I did not get a perfect score. This is due to a number of factors- some of the passages could be interpreted in multiple ways, and, depending on different (and equally valid!) interpretations, different responses could have been equally correct. There's no way, on this test at least, to justify or defend your interpretations. I don't think that this test would be fair to give to a non-native speaker, or to judge them by. And yet, this is a test that is given on job applications to teach English as a foreign langauge! No standardized test- no matter how well designed- is ever going to capture the nuance of linguistic experiences. Accents and dialects differ widely even among native speakers. And the nature of language means that even well-formed statements can often be interpreted in a variety of ways, none of which is objectively 'more' or 'less' correct than others. So when you as an employer (any employer) are aiming to hire international workers, be very wary of these sorts of standardized English tests. They can be *a* metric, but they shouldn't be *the* metric. This is why it is very important to review applications manually (don't rely on AI to review these metrics, or you will lose out on good employees and good opportunites), and why it is so important to interview potential hires to see how they interact. If you have an applicant whose 'official' proficiency in English is not as high as you'd like, but who looks good in other ways- interview them! Give them a chance to prove their proficiency in a real conversational setting, instead of relying on an imperfect test to do it for you. Standardized metrics are often problematic, and some much more than others. Judge the human, not the letter!
