Understanding our Assessments and How They Work
We have 2 Types of Assessments — Tests and Tasks
What is a Test?
1 test is a series of 10 QnA real scenario-based questions asked to candidates.
Unlike MCQ-type quizzes or pointless back-and-forth questions, our questions are designed to be open-ended, on-the-job scenario-based, and actual problem-solving
What is a Task?
1 task is on-the-job actual task where candidates code, design, and solve a real problem, in a live production environment.
Unlike coding tests or take-home assignments, our tasks are designed to make you watch candidates how they debug, make tradeoffs, build features, fix APIs, etc.
"Should I Opt for Tests or Tasks for my Candidate Screening/Shortlisting Process?"
This largely depends on your factors like — role, skill level, your personal preference, level of depth you want to assess, etc.
From what we've seen, Tasks are better than Tests due to its very nature to accurately assess a candidate's technical depth, fundamental skills, foundational concepts, etc.
But then, we've had customers who only want to ask real-scenario questions (Tests) and not ask candidates to perform on-the-job problem (Tasks).
You decide. You control.
How are Candidates Evaluated? Does Tasks Evaluate Candidates Better than Tests?
Our product does standardized, objective scoring across parameters like — technical execution, AI use, communication, and judgment that lets teams compare candidates quickly and fairly.
If you think about it, tasks does evaluate a candidate better than a test, because it makes a candidate actually build something live in action, and you see how they performed on that.
