Ability to create user-centric designs
Attention to detail and an eye for aesthetics
Ability to articulate ideas, designs, and suggestions
Ability to create user flows, wireframes, mockups and wireframes based on business requirements
Ability to translate requirements into style guides, design systems, design patterns and attractive interfaces
Experience troubleshooting UX issues

Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, product and management teams

The insights generated from this assessment can be used by recruiters and hiring managers to identify the best candidates for UI/UX Designer roles. Anti-cheating features enable you to be comfortable with conducting assessments online. The UI/UX Design Test is ideal for helping recruiters identify which designers 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 UI/UX Design Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question
Easy Delete item popup	Solve
We recently added the feature to enable a user to delete items from their dashboard. The feature was built on the request of a customer who needed it urgently, so the product engineer was the one who designed it, without consulting a designer. Can you review the design and recommend any changes if required?
Easy Music app design	Solve
We have hired a designer to create the design for our new music app. Can you review the design and point out the core issue? We are yet to add images, so you can ignore that aspect.
Medium Overwhelmed users Usability Information Architecture	Solve
Liam, a UX designer, is working on an app that allows users to learn multiple languages. The app provides language lessons, quizzes, progress tracking, and a community forum. Feedback from users revealed: 1. Users find it difficult to navigate between different features of the app. 2. Users feel overwhelmed by the amount of content in each language module. 3. Users appreciate the comprehensive nature of the language lessons. Considering this feedback, which design approach should Liam take to address these issues? A: Adding more features to provide a more comprehensive learning experience. B: Simplifying the language lessons to reduce content. C: Implementing a more effective information architecture and reducing cognitive load. D: Incorporating more visual elements like images and animations. E: Providing an option for users to customize their learning modules. F: Integrating a voice assistant to guide users through the app. G: Reducing the number of languages offered to simplify the app.
Medium The Adaptive Anomaly Adaptive Design Information Architecture User Research	Solve
Mike, a UX designer, is designing an adaptive website for a global retail company. The website should adjust to the user's behavior and environment based on screen size, platform, and orientation. While designing, he realized that the information architecture (IA) of the website needs adjustments. Given the following scenarios: 1. The website needs to accommodate a wide range of products and categories. 2. User research has indicated that a significant number of users are not technologically savvy. 3. A significant part of the website's audience accesses it on a mobile platform. 4. The company plans to expand its product range significantly in the near future. What should be Mike's primary consideration for adapting the information architecture of the website? A: Increasing the visual appeal of the website. B: Improving the search functionality. C: Reducing the number of products displayed on the home page. D: Introducing VR features. E: Prioritizing video content over text.

Reason #4

1200+ customers in 75 countries

With Adaface, we were able to optimise our initial screening process by upwards of 75%, freeing up precious time for both hiring managers and our talent acquisition team alike!

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment UI/UX Design 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 UI/UX Design 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.

Reason #7

Detailed scorecards & benchmarks

Reason #8

High completion rate

Adaface tests are conversational, low-stress, and take just 25-40 mins to complete.

This is why Adaface has the highest test-completion rate (86%), which is more than 2x better than traditional assessments.

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.
