The Data Engineer Test is designed to evaluate the technical skills of candidates for data engineering roles. Companies use this test to assess a candidate's proficiency in SQL, data modeling, ETL processes, and data warehousing.
Yes, recruiters can request a custom test that combines the Data Engineer Test with SQL questions. For more details on how we assess SQL skills, check out our SQL Online Test.
The test covers a wide range of skills including Data Modeling, Data Warehousing, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), Database Design, SQL CRUD Queries, SQL Joins and Indexes, Data Analysis and Visualization, and Coding.
Use the Data Engineer Test as a pre-screening tool early in your hiring process. Add a link to the assessment in your job post or invite candidates via email. This helps you find skilled candidates faster.
Yes, you can combine data engineering and data analysis skills into one test. Consider using our Data Analysis Test to assess data analysis skills alongside data engineering.
We offer several tests in the Data Engineering category:
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.
We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

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.
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.
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.
