9 reasons why

Adaface Jest Assessment Test is the most accurate way to shortlist Node.js Software Engineers

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The Jest Test helps recruiters and hiring managers identify qualified candidates from a pool of resumes, and helps in taking objective hiring decisions. It reduces the administrative overhead of interviewing too many candidates and saves time by filtering out unqualified candidates at the first step of the hiring process.

The test screens for the following skills that hiring managers look for in candidates:

Ability to write effective and efficient Jest test cases
Ability to implement and utilize testing frameworks for JavaScript
Ability to work with data and statistics in testing
Ability to initialize and set up testing environments
Ability to execute tests and analyze results
Understanding of Mocha backends and its usage in testing
Understanding of computation layer and its role in testing
Ability to utilize utility layers in testing
Familiarity with CPU backend and native extensions
Understanding of data layers and their importance in testing
Knowledge of statistical layers and their significance in testing
Awareness of the role of initializers in testing

Reason #2

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.

View sample questions

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.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Jest 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 Jest Test?

Data Layers
Data Layers in software development refer to the components or frameworks responsible for storing, retrieving, and manipulating data. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's understanding and proficiency in data management and storage techniques.
Statistical Layers
Statistical Layers involve the use of statistical models and algorithms to analyze data and extract meaningful insights. This skill is important to measure as it assesses the candidate's ability to apply statistical techniques in data analysis and decision-making.
Initializers
Initializers in software development are functions or code blocks that are executed to initialize the state or setup of a program or application. This skill is measured to evaluate the candidate's understanding of initialization processes to ensure correct program initialization and setup.
Test Execution
Test Execution refers to the process of running and validating test cases against software or systems. Measuring this skill helps assess the candidate's ability to effectively execute tests, identify and report bugs, and ensure the quality and reliability of the software.
Mocha Backends
Mocha Backends are testing frameworks used in JavaScript for writing and executing test cases. This skill is measured to evaluate the candidate's knowledge of Mocha and their proficiency in setting up test environments and writing test cases using Mocha in JavaScript.
Computation Layer
The Computation Layer refers to the components or modules responsible for performing complex computations or calculations in software systems. This skill is important to measure as it assesses the candidate's ability to design and implement efficient algorithms and perform high-performance computations.
Utility Layers
Utility Layers in software development are modules or components that provide common functionalities or tools to support the main functionality of an application. This skill is measured to evaluate the candidate's understanding and experience in creating and using utility modules to enhance the functionality and maintainability of software systems.
CPU Backend with Native Extension
CPU Backend with Native Extension refers to the integration of CPU-centric processing capabilities and native extensions in software systems. This skill is measured to assess the candidate's expertise in optimizing code performance by utilizing CPU-specific optimizations and incorporating native extensions for increased efficiency and speed.

Jest 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.
