Job description

HumRRO is seeking a detail-oriented Independent Contractor (1099) to serve as a Physical Test Administrator to facilitate the Applicant Physical Abilities Test (APAT) at designated testing facilities. The APAT is a four-test battery administered to job applicants as part of the selection process. The individual assessments are push-ups, sit-ups, agility run, and the 1.5 mile run. As an Independent Contractor, you will set up, administer, and score all tests in accordance with established protocols. Additional tasks include ensuring applicants are checked in, identified, briefed, and monitored safely and consistently throughout each physical assessment session.

This project-based role is strictly for an Independent Contractor (1099). Contractors operate autonomously to ensure the standardized, safe, consistent, and accurate administration of physical ability assessments (push-ups, sit-ups, agility run, and 1.5-mile run) to applicants, maintaining consistency, fairness, and data integrity across all testing sessions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Confirm facility readiness and equipment availability prior to each scheduled APAT session
  • Verify that the minimum required number of Test Administrators (at least two per session of up to eight applicants, with at least one CPR-certified) are present and prepared
  • Greet applicants upon arrival and manage check-in and check-out procedures
  • Verify applicant identification prior to beginning any assessment
  • Distribute test-related materials and required documentation to applicants (score sheets, waiver forms); collect and return test materials.
  • Explain test procedures and demonstrate proper form for physical assessments (e.g., push-ups, sit-ups)
  • Monitor applicants throughout testing to ensure adherence to protocol and applicant safety
  • Address environmental or equipment issues that arise during testing sessions
  • Provide applicants with APAT process information to help applicants reschedule assessments or submit accommodations
  • Accurately record test scores and associated documentation into the HumRRO online data system

Required Qualifications

  • U.S. Citizenship
  • Current CPR certification (Adult CPR/AED) or willingness to obtain certification prior to the first assignment
  • Successfully complete a mandatory HumRRO APAT protocol briefing and quality assurance orientation prior to performing services
  • Proficiency in English, both written and verbal
  • Ability to operate standard industry testing equipment and adhere to facility safety protocols
  • Ability to confirm facility and staffing readiness in accordance with administration requirements
  • Ability to stand, move, and actively monitor physical activity for extended periods during testing sessions
  • Strong interpersonal skills to interact professionally and respectfully with all applicants in a variety of conditions
  • Flexibility on your availability for assignments based on testing volume, including potential short notice, weekend, or evening sessions
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in documentation and retention and storage of test materials
  • Demonstrated ability to follow scripted instructions and procedures without deviation

Physical Requirements

This role requires the Test Administrator to be physically present and active throughout each testing session, which may last several hours. Essential physical demands include:

  • Standing, walking, and moving throughout the testing facility for extended periods
  • Bending, kneeling, or demonstrating physical movements
  • Demonstrating proper push-up and sit-up form and errors without accommodation to instruct applicants
  • Lifting or moving lightweight testing equipment (e.g., cones, mats, timers) as needed
  • Responding quickly to address safety concerns or equipment malfunctions during testing
  • Performing CPR
  • Visually and audibly monitoring multiple applicants simultaneously across an indoor or outdoor testing area

Working Conditions & Scheduling

  • Work is performed on-site at designated testing facilities, which may include indoor gymnasiums or outdoor tracks/fields
  • Project opportunities will be offered based on applicant testing volume and Independent Contractor maintaining availability
  • Testing sessions require sustained attention and physical activity, with minimal downtime during applicant testing windows
  • Administrators must coordinate closely with at least one additional Test Administrator during each session to ensure compliance with staffing and safety requirements
