9 reasons why

Adaface Salesforce Administrator Test is the most accurate way to shortlist Salesforce Administrators

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The Salesforce Administrator 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.

Non-googleable questions & proctoring features enable you to be comfortable with conducting assessments online. The Salesforce Administrator Test is ideal for helping recruiters identify which candidates have the skills to do well on the job.

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.

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.

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

🧐 Question
Easy Import records Data Management	Solve
Adaface uses Sales CRM to maintain lead records. Adaface received two new lists of lead records: - List 1 contains 13,459 records - List 2 contains 3.2 million records List 1 comes from an unclean source and likely has many duplicate records. Which of the following would be best suited to import these lists into Salesforce?
Easy Page layouts and Records Profiles	Solve
Adaface uses Salesforce CRM for managing the sales process. The sales team is divided into Team A and Team B. Team A focuses on first two stages of the opportunity. Team B which has senior sales representatives focuses on last three stages of the opportunity. As a Salesforce admin at Adaface, you are tasked with the following requirement: - Team A should only have access to first two stages on Opportunity records. Other stages must be hidden for Team A. - Team B should have access to final three stages on Opportunity records. How do you achieve this?
Medium Time-based workflow Workflow	Solve
Adaface uses Salesforce time-based workflow actions. Here is a new time-based workflow action added to Adaface Salesforce CRM: Generate critical date reminders to remind Opportunity owners when a large Opportunity (amount greater than $1M USD, Status not equals to Closed Won, Closed Lost) is 14 days away from the intended Close Date. Before the action is recorded, there is already a previously created record X that fits the criteria. After the action is created, there is a new record Y that fits the criteria created on Sept 1st with Close Date set to Sept 30th. The time-dependent action is scheduled for Sept 16th and is visible in the workflow queue. Before Sept 16th, the record Y is updated and marked as Closed. Pick the correct statements: A: Once the rule is activated, a new workflow action for record X is added to the queue B: Workflow action for record X would not be added to the queue C: Workflow action for record Y will still be in the queue after the record is updated and it will fire as originally scheduled on Sept 16th D: Workflow action for record Y will be removed from the queue automatically after the record is updated since the criteria for the action is no longer valid E: When record Y is updated, a confirmation window informs that there is a pending action and user will be prompted if they want to remove the action from the queue or allow it to remain

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Salesforce Administrator 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 Salesforce Administrator 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

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.

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
Web proctoring
Webcam proctoring
Plagiarism detection
Secure browser

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.
