Employers don't really have that much else to go on. In-house tests are a legal minefield, and there are places you can graduate from high school without learning how to read.

Does it need to be though? What about 3rd parties providing tests and knowledge verification? There's been some developments on that front.

It doesn't really matter who administers the tests. The problem is you're opening yourself up to disparate impact lawsuits.

It's easier and safer for employers to use college rankings as a proxy for intelligence.

Why pay for that in-house when there are programs out there that convince 18 year olds to take on loans to pay for it instead?
