FROM SCREENING TO INTERVIEW

Give your next decision
a shared foundation.

When a CV leaves questions open, an assessment helps you decide what to explore with each person.

Build on an existing question catalogue.

Programming, data, cloud, security and management. Pick the knowledge relevant to the role and combine it in one assessment.

Compare using the same criteria.

Candidates for the same role take the same assessment version. Review overall and per-area scores side by side.

Bring the hiring team into the conversation.

Recruiters and technical leads can review results, record notes and follow decisions in the same workspace.

BEFORE YOU START

What your team
needs to know.

What kind of hiring is this for?

For teams that want to assess knowledge before a deeper interview: roles in programming, data, cloud, infrastructure, security and project management. Choose the areas relevant to each role.

Do candidates write or run code?

No. Assessments use single or multiple-choice questions, including questions about code. They assess knowledge; where the role requires practical programming ability, add a suitable practical exercise.

Does the candidate need an account or payment?

No. They can answer using their personal invitation link, with the credit covered by your company. If they already have an account with the same verified email, all company invitations appear under My applications, without registering again.

What if a candidate never starts?

An invitation reserves one credit. It is only used when the assessment starts. If the invitation expires or is cancelled before starting, the reservation is released. Resuming the same assessment uses no extra credit; a new attempt does.

Can we choose questions and language?

Yes. Select questions manually or combine catalogue areas and difficulty levels. Set the length and time limit. Assessments and the candidate experience are in English.

How should I interpret the score?

It is a sample of knowledge demonstrated on the selected questions. The catalogue is also used for learning, so some questions may be familiar. Use results alongside interviews and other evidence. The hiring decision belongs to your team.

Are ATS integrations available now?

They are still being prepared and validated. You can already manage email invitations, compare results and export CSV in the dashboard. ATS connections will be made available after validation with each provider.

How does company access work?

Create a company workspace with your account, prepare an assessment and manage your balance under Credits & billing. Company packs and subscriptions are separate from individual learning plans. Invitations require available credits.
