The PPC (Pay Per Click) Test is ideal for helping recruiters identify which candidates have the skills to do well on the job.

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 PPC Assessment Test will be non-googleable.

Solve
Refer to the images of the three different ads (Ad A, Ad B, and Ad C) provided. Each ad varies in terms of Quality Score, bid amount, and the use of ad extensions.

- Ad A has a Quality Score of 6, bid amount of $3, and uses no ad extensions.
- Ad B has a Quality Score of 7, bid amount of $2, and uses a sitelink extension.
- Ad C has a Quality Score of 8, bid amount of $4, and uses both sitelink and callout extensions.

Considering the information and the appearance of each ad, which ad is likely to have the highest Ad Rank and the most significant enhancement in Click-Through Rate (CTR) due to the use of ad extensions?

Imagine overseeing a campaign for a newly launched online store specializing in sustainable products. The following are two different ad previews with their associated statistics:

Ad 1:

Statistics for Ad 1:

- CTR = 2.8%
- Conversion Rate = 5.5%
- Average CPC = $1.8
Ad 2:

Statistics for Ad 2:

- CTR = 3.2%
- Conversion Rate = 4.5%
- Average CPC = $2
After A/B testing, you notice that removing “Free Shipping on Orders Over $50” from Ad 2 decreased the CTR by 0.5% but increased the Conversion Rate by 1.5%. Removing “Shop Now and Make a Difference!” from Ad 1 had no significant effect on the CTR but increased the Conversion Rate by 0.8%.

Given this, what specific aspect should be focused on for optimization to potentially enhance both CTR and conversion rate?
A: Reinstate “Free Shipping on Orders Over $50” in Ad 2
B: Remove “Shop Now and Make a Difference!” from Ad 1
C: Add a price incentive to Ad 1
D: Add product categories to Ad 2
E: Add a limited-time discount offer to both ads

Solve
You are working on a campaign for a local pet store. The store primarily sells pet food and accessories. After a month, you notice that while the clicks are high, the conversion rate is very low. The broad match keyword "pet food" triggers your ad for search queries like "pet food recipes", "homemade pet food", and "pet food challenges". You also observe that the Quality Score for the keyword "pet food" is low due to a below-average expected CTR.

Considering the above observations, which of the following changes would most likely help in improving both the conversion rate and the Quality Score for the keyword "pet food"?
A: Change the keyword match type to exact match
B: Add negative keywords for “recipes”, “homemade”, and “challenges”
C: Increase the bid for the keyword "pet food"
D: Add "Buy Now" in the ad copy for a stronger call to action
E: Change the landing page to the store’s home page rather than the pet food product page

Your e-commerce website recently launched a Google Ads campaign for a new line of products. After a month, you analyze the conversion data and notice that a significant number of conversions are not being tracked. You are using the last click attribution model. You find that most of the missed conversions are coming from users who clicked on your ad, left, and then returned to make a purchase within a week.

Given this situation, how should you modify the conversion tracking settings to ensure that all conversions are accurately tracked?
A: Change the attribution model to first click.
B: Extend the conversion window to cover a longer period.
C: Switch to a time decay attribution model.
D: Set up a new conversion action specifically for these products.
E: Change the attribution model to a linear model.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment PPC Assessment 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 PPC Assessment 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

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.

I just moved to a paid plan. How can I request a custom assessment?
