Money Handling SME (U.S.-based) — Assessment Review & Improvement

We are seeking a U.S.-based professional with expertise in money handling and cash operations to review and refine an existing Money Handling assessment. You will work closely with our in-house Content Specialist to review every item in the question bank, identify gaps, and help us build two polished, job-relevant assessment blueprints. We value open communication, regular check-ins, and a collaborative approach to quality. ________________________________________ This project involves: Assessment Review – Evaluate a completed question bank (50 questions), with a focus on: • clarity and accessibility of language and instructions, • alignment with real-life and workplace cash handling scenarios, • appropriate difficulty levels (especially for entry-level candidates), • overall quality, relevance, and validity of questions. Refinement – Based on your review, suggest and implement improvements where needed, including: • simplifying language and instructions for clarity, • improving the accuracy and logical consistency of answer choices, • adjusting difficulty levels to match target candidate profiles, • enhancing real-life or scenario-based context (e.g., retail, banking, hospitality, armored transport). If gaps are identified, you may be asked to draft new questions for underrepresented topics and strengthen sections that lack sufficient coverage. (paid separately) The goal is to ensure the assessment is practical, clear, up-to-date, and suitable for pre-hire screening across roles requiring accurate and responsible cash handling. Using our Test Blueprint template, as a final step, you will select final set of 40 questions to serve as the completed assessments. Planned project duration: 3–4 weeks. ________________________________________ Requirements: • Proven experience in developing or reviewing occupational assessments, tests, or job-relevant educational content. • Strong, hands-on understanding of money handling procedures — including cash counting, till reconciliation, shortage/overage identification, counterfeit detection, and basic cash control policies. • Familiarity with cash handling in workplace contexts (e.g., retail, banking, hospitality, food service, armored transport, or casino operations). • Ability to evaluate and improve question quality in a practical, candidate-focused way. • Background in psychology, instructional design, workforce development, or a related field is a plus. • Relevant certifications (e.g., Certified Bank Teller, Certified Fraud Examiner, Loss Prevention Qualified) are an advantage. ________________________________________ Tools The expert is expected to use provided templates. Proficiency with MS Word and MS Excel is required. ________________________________________ Cooperation Model Work will be conducted in close, ongoing collaboration with the Content Specialist. Regular consultations and feedback rounds are expected throughout all stages of the project. ________________________________________ Before you begin Upon signing the contract, you will be asked to complete a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and our Ethical AI Use Guidelines.
