Product Led Growth
Try practice test
You are a product manager at a B2B SaaS company that has recently transitioned to a product-led growth (PLG) strategy. The company has always had a strong focus on customer success and wants to ensure this continues under the new strategy. You have been asked to recommend a strategy that aligns customer success with the PLG approach. 

You have the following data:

1. The company's product has a free trial version with limited features.
2. The conversion rate from free trial to paid customers is 15%.
3. The churn rate for paid customers is 5%.
4. The average customer support ticket resolution time is 48 hours.
5. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is 30.

Which of the following strategies would best align customer success with the PLG approach?
A: Increase the number of features in the free trial version to attract more users.
B: Decrease the price of the paid version to increase the conversion rate.

Increase conversion
Try practice test
Your friend, Missy opened a new online store to sell heels. The heels come in 6 sizes: 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44. Missy did not want to invest too much capital upfront, so she decided to stock only 3 sizes: 36, 38 and 40 and display “out of stock” message for the remaining sizes. She used Google and Facebook ads to get visibility, and the market responded well. A lot of people ordered heels in the sizes she stocked, so she kept restocking the same sizes as they kept selling out.
She meets you over a cup of coffee and shares her story, and asks if you have any recommendations to increase conversion. What would you recommend?
A: Set up analytics and custom events on her online store to check how many people are clicking on the sizes she doesn’t have in stock.

B: Setting up analytics is not a good idea since it reduces website speed and impacts user experience.

C: Change CTA button to “Buy Now” to increase sales.

D: Procure a larger variety of heels in the same sizes that have been selling out.

E: It is possible that a different combination of heel sizes would increase conversion. 

F: Try a smaller stock of all the other sizes just to see if it sells.

G: Call up some of her customers to understand which sizes they are looking for and understand the market need.

H: Use FOMO (fear of missing out) to your advantage with messaging like “this item is in 43 carts”

I: Pick only 5 star reviews you have received and display on your store for each product to increase trust.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Product Manager 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 Product Manager 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.

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

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.

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.
