9 reasons why

Adaface Ruby Test is the most accurate way to shortlist Ruby Developers

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The Ruby Online 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:

Able to efficiently handle exceptions and errors
Proficient in using various data types and their manipulation
Skilled in control flow structures and logical operations
Expertise in defining and utilizing methods
Comprehensive understanding of classes and objects
Familiarity with handling and managing exceptions
Proficient in utilizing and working with modules
Competence in file handling and processing
Proficient in regular expressions for pattern matching
Knowledge of integrating with databases for data retrieval and manipulation

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 #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.

How we design questions

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

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Ruby Online 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.

Science behind Adaface tests

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

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

What topics are covered in the Ruby Online Test?

Ruby Basics
Ruby Basics cover the fundamental concepts and syntax of the Ruby programming language. It includes topics such as variables, data types, operators, loops, and conditionals. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's understanding of the core building blocks of Ruby.
Data Types
Data Types in Ruby determine the kind of values that variables can hold. It includes numeric types, strings, arrays, hashes, and booleans. Measuring this skill helps evaluate the candidate's capability to work with different data structures and manipulate data effectively.
Control Flow
Control Flow in Ruby involves the flow of program execution based on conditions and decisions. It includes concepts like if statements, case statements, and loops. Measuring this skill helps gauge the candidate's ability to control the logic and flow of their program accurately.
Methods
Methods in Ruby are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks. They enhance code organization, readability, and maintainability. Measuring this skill allows recruiters to assess the candidate's proficiency in creating and using methods to modularize their code and improve efficiency.
Classes and Objects
Classes and Objects form the foundation of object-oriented programming in Ruby. They allow for the creation of blueprints (classes) that define the behavior and attributes of objects. Measuring this skill helps identify candidates who can design and implement well-structured and reusable code using object-oriented principles.
Exceptions
Exceptions in Ruby allow for handling and managing errors and exceptional situations during program execution. They provide a way to gracefully handle unexpected scenarios. Measuring this skill helps evaluate a candidate's ability to write robust and resilient code by handling exceptions effectively.
Modules
Modules in Ruby are containers for groups of methods, constants, and classes. They provide a way to share functionality across different classes without using inheritance. Measuring this skill helps assess the candidate's understanding of code reuse, encapsulation, and separation of concerns using modules.
File Handling
File Handling in Ruby involves reading from and writing to files. It includes operations like opening, closing, reading, and writing data to files. Measuring this skill allows recruiters to evaluate a candidate's ability to work with file systems, manipulate file data, and perform file-related operations effectively.
Regular Expressions
Regular Expressions in Ruby are powerful patterns used for matching and manipulating text. They offer a concise and flexible way to perform string matching and replacement operations. Measuring this skill helps identify candidates who can leverage regular expressions to handle complex text-based tasks and validate input data efficiently.
Database Connectivity
Database Connectivity in Ruby involves integrating Ruby applications with databases to store, retrieve, and manipulate data. It includes concepts like connecting to databases, executing SQL queries, and handling data results. Measuring this skill helps assess a candidate's ability to work with databases, perform CRUD operations, and interact with data persistently.

Ruby 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.
