Experienced in server-side rendering with Next.JS
Capable of integrating APIs
Competent in state management
Proficient in data fetching
Solid grasp of HTML/CSS fundamentals
Skilled in JavaScript coding

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.

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.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

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

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the NextJS 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.

About the NextJS Online Test

Why you should use Pre-employment NextJS Test?

The NextJS Test makes use of scenario-based questions to test for on-the-job skills as opposed to theoretical knowledge, ensuring that candidates who do well on this screening test have the relavant skills. The questions are designed to covered following on-the-job aspects:

Styling and configuring Next.JS components
Understanding and applying React fundamentals
Utilizing React Hooks for efficient state management
Demonstrating proficiency in JavaScript ES6 fundamentals
Implementing Next.JS routing for smooth navigation
Applying server-side rendering techniques in Next.JS
Integrating APIs to fetch and display data
Managing state effectively in a React application
Fetching data from external sources
Building solid foundation in HTML/CSS fundamentals

Once the test is sent to a candidate, the candidate receives a link in email to take the test. For each candidate, you will receive a detailed report with skills breakdown and benchmarks to shortlist the top candidates from your pool.

What topics are covered in the NextJS Test?

Styling and Configuring Next.JS components
This skill evaluates the ability to style and configure components in Next.js, a popular framework for building React applications. It tests knowledge of CSS-in-JS libraries, component styling methods, and how to leverage Next.js specific features for styling.
React Fundamentals
This skill measures the understanding of basic React concepts and principles such as components, props, state, and lifecycle methods. It assesses the ability to build React applications and utilize commonly used React patterns.
React Hooks
React Hooks are a feature introduced in React 16.8 that allows the use of state and other React features without writing class components. This skill evaluates the proficiency in using hooks like useState, useEffect, and custom hooks to manage state and side effects in a functional component.
JavaScript ES6 Fundamentals
ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) is a major update to the JavaScript language that introduces new features and syntax enhancements. This skill assesses the understanding of ES6 concepts such as arrow functions, destructuring, spread syntax, modules, and more.
Next.JS Routing
Next.js provides routing capabilities out of the box, allowing for easy navigation between pages. This skill evaluates the knowledge of Next.js routing mechanisms, dynamic routing, nested routes, and how to handle routing-related tasks in a Next.js application.
Server-Side Rendering
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) is a technique that allows React components to be rendered on the server and sent to the client as HTML. This skill measures the ability to implement SSR using Next.js and understand the benefits and considerations of server-side rendering.
API Integration
This skill evaluates the ability to integrate APIs into a Next.js application. It tests knowledge of making HTTP requests, handling API responses, authentication/authorization, and data manipulation using Next.js tools and libraries.
State Management
In complex React applications, state management becomes crucial for managing the application's global state. This skill assesses the understanding of different state management approaches like Redux, Context API, and how to implement them in Next.js.
Data Fetching
Fetching data from external APIs is a common task in modern web development. This skill measures the ability to fetch and consume data using various approaches, such as server-side rendering, SWR (stale-while-revalidate), and client-side data fetching with Next.js.
HTML/CSS Fundamentals
This skill tests basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, including understanding of HTML tags, CSS selectors, box model, layout techniques, and responsive design principles.
JavaScript Coding
This skill evaluates proficiency in JavaScript coding. It tests knowledge of JavaScript syntax, data types, control flow, loops, functions, and common coding patterns.

NextJS 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.
