Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Advance Networking in GCP Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

What topics are covered in the Advance Networking in GCP Online Test?

Networking
Networking involves the design, implementation, and management of computer networks, enabling communication and data transfer between devices and systems. This skill is measured in the test as it is fundamental to understanding advanced networking concepts and building reliable and secure infrastructures in the Google Cloud Platform.
Google Cloud Platform
The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services provided by Google to host and deploy applications and data. Measuring this skill is crucial to ensure that candidates have the necessary knowledge of GCP's features and services to effectively utilize and manage networking resources.
Advanced Networking
Advanced networking encompasses advanced techniques and technologies used to optimize network connectivity, scalability, and security. Testing this skill allows recruiters to assess candidates' ability to implement and troubleshoot complex networking configurations in the context of the Google Cloud Platform.
Virtual Private Cloud
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a virtual network environment within GCP that provides isolated and secure communication between resources. Evaluating candidates' understanding of VPCs ensures they can set up and manage segregated network environments for their applications and services.
Load Balancing
Load balancing involves distributing network traffic across multiple servers to optimize performance, scalability, and reliability. Including this skill in the test allows recruiters to gauge candidates' proficiency in configuring load balancing solutions within GCP, ensuring optimal distribution of incoming requests.
Firewalls
Firewalls are security devices that control and monitor network traffic based on predefined rules, protecting systems from unauthorized access and potential threats. Testing candidates' knowledge of firewalls ensures they can design and implement secure networking policies in the Google Cloud Platform.
Cloud DNS
Cloud DNS is a scalable and reliable domain name system (DNS) service provided by GCP, enabling mapping domain names to IP addresses. Evaluating this skill helps recruiters determine candidates' ability to manage and configure DNS zones and records in the cloud environment.
Cloud CDN
Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a global network that caches and distributes content closer to users, reducing latency and improving performance. Measuring this skill ensures candidates have the knowledge to optimize content delivery and enhance user experiences using GCP's CDN service.
Private Access Options
Private access options provide secure and direct connections to GCP resources from on-premises networks or virtual private networks (VPNs). Including this skill in the test allows recruiters to assess candidates' capability to establish secure communication channels between on-premises infrastructure and GCP resources.
Network Monitoring and Operations
Network monitoring and operations involve monitoring network performance, identifying and resolving issues, and ensuring optimal network functionality. Testing this skill enables recruiters to evaluate candidates' proficiency in using GCP's network monitoring tools and troubleshooting networking problems in the cloud environment.
Hybrid Connectivity
Hybrid connectivity refers to establishing connections between on-premises and cloud networks to create a hybrid infrastructure. Evaluating this skill helps recruiters assess candidates' ability to architect and implement hybrid connectivity solutions using GCP's services, ensuring seamless communication between different network environments.
Cloud Interconnect
Cloud Interconnect provides dedicated and high-bandwidth connections between customers' on-premises networks and Google's network. Including this skill in the test allows recruiters to gauge candidates' familiarity with establishing and managing reliable and efficient connections between their existing infrastructure and GCP using Cloud Interconnect.
Full list of covered topics
The actual topics of the questions in the final test will depend on your job description and requirements. However, here's a list of topics you can expect the questions for Advance Networking in GCP Test to be based on.
VPC creation

Advance Networking in GCP Hiring Test FAQs

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

Non-googleable questions
IP proctoring
Screen proctoring
Web proctoring
Webcam proctoring
Plagiarism detection
Secure browser
Copy paste protection

Read more about the proctoring features.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.
