Adaface HR Test is the most accurate way to shortlist HR Managers



Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The HR Test helps recruiters and hiring managers identify qualified candidates from a pool of resumes and take objective hiring decisions. It reduces the administrative overhead of interviewing too many candidates and saves expensive engineering time by filtering out unqualified candidates.

You can use the Adaface HR Test to screen candidates for the following roles:

  • HR Manager
  • Recruiter
  • Training and Development Specialist
  • HR Consultant
  • HR Generalist
Reason #2

No trick questions

no trick questions

Traditional assessment tools use trick questions and puzzles for the screening, which creates a lot of frustration among candidates about having to go through irrelevant screening assessments.

The main reason we started Adaface is that traditional pre-employment assessment platforms are not a fair way for companies to evaluate candidates. At Adaface, our mission is to help companies find great candidates by assessing on-the-job skills required for a role.

Why we started Adaface ->
Reason #3

Non-googleable questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

These are just a small sample from our library of 10,000+ questions. The actual questions on this HR Test will be non-googleable.

QuantumLeap has recently posted a job listing for a Senior Software Developer role and received an overwhelming response of over 3,000 applications. With the engineering team preoccupied with urgent product development, the HR department must filter through the applications in a manner that ensures a high-quality shortlist without overtaxing the team's limited interviewing capacity.

Given the circumstances, what strategy should the HR team employ to effectively narrow down the candidate pool while maintaining the integrity and equity of the recruitment process?

C: Organize a hackathon event where applicants can participate remotely, solving real-world problems that reflect the job's responsibilities, judged by leading engineers and HR for technical and cultural fit.

D: Develop a remote multi-stage screening assessment starting with a problem-solving test followed by a timed coding test to identify top candidates for the engineering team to interview.

E: Conduct an AI-driven analysis of past projects and coding samples submitted by candidates to predict future performance and cultural fit, with subsequent interviews conducted by HR for the top-scoring candidates.

F: Implement a peer-review system where candidates evaluate each other’s code from a provided challenge, with HR overseeing the process to ensure it aligns with the company's collaborative culture.

G: Initiate a series of technical webinars led by the engineering team, followed by an open Q&A, to gauge interest in the role.

H: Require candidates to complete a comprehensive online course related to the job's tech stack, with a final exam that certifies their proficiency and readiness for the role.

Solve
Your company, Zipp, is a mid-sized SaaS provider looking to expand its market share in a highly competitive industry. To drive this growth, the sales team's commission structure needs to be realigned to incentivize new client acquisition without neglecting existing client upsells. What commission structure could Zipp implement to balance the pursuit of new business while maintaining and growing its existing client base?
A: Offer a flat commission rate for all sales, regardless of whether they are new client acquisitions or existing client upsells, to avoid any perceived bias.

B: Introduce a tiered commission model that provides higher rates for new client acquisitions up to a certain quota, after which the commission rate for upsells increases.

C: Implement a hybrid commission model that pays a higher percentage for new business in the first six months, then shifts the focus to upsells with increased rates thereafter.

D: Establish a bonus pool that is distributed quarterly among the sales team, with bonuses allocated based on a combination of new client acquisitions and client retention rates.

E: Create a differentiated commission plan that offers a higher base rate for upsells, recognizing the value of customer retention, with substantial bonuses for breaking into new markets.

With Adaface, we were able to optimise our initial screening process by upwards of 75%, freeing up precious time for both hiring managers and our talent acquisition team alike!


Brandon Lee, Head of People, Love, Bonito

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment HR 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.

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the HR Test from your dashboard by entering their email address.

Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

API or integrations: You can invite candidates directly from your ATS by using our pre-built integrations with popular ATS systems or building a custom integration with your in-house ATS.

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.

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
  • Web proctoring
  • Webcam proctoring
  • Plagiarism detection
  • Secure browser

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.

I'm a candidate. Can I try a practice test?

No. Unfortunately, we do not support practice tests at the moment. However, you can use our sample questions for practice.

What is the cost of using this test?

You can check out our pricing plans.

Can I get a free trial?

Yes, you can sign up for free and preview this test.
