Whether you're hiring for a content strategist role, evaluating your team's expertise, or simply want to benchmark your own knowledge, this Content Strategist Knowledge Assessment provides a thorough evaluation of the core competencies that define modern content strategy.

What This Assessment Covers

Information Architecture — Expertise in organizing, structuring, and labeling content in ways that support user goals and business objectives while remaining scalable.

Editorial Calendars & Planning — Competence in planning content production, managing workflows, coordinating stakeholders, and maintaining consistency across channels and campaigns.

Why Use Paperform for Knowledge Assessments?

Unlike rigid quiz builders, Paperform gives you complete control over how your assessment looks and functions. The doc-style editor means you can mix explanatory text, images, and questions naturally—creating an assessment that feels professional and on-brand rather than like a basic Google Form.

Built-in scoring and conditional logic let you calculate results instantly and show different feedback based on performance levels. You can route high scorers to advanced resources, provide remedial content for areas of weakness, or trigger different follow-up workflows in your LMS or HR system.

For training teams and HR departments, Paperform integrations mean assessment results can flow automatically into your existing tools. Send scores to Airtable for tracking, notify managers via Slack, update employee records in your HRIS, or use Stepper (stepper.io) to trigger multi-step onboarding or development workflows based on assessment outcomes.
