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.

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.

🧐 Question
Medium Backup Strategy Backups Troubleshooting	Solve
As a DBA, you receive an alert notifying you that the production database has gone offline due to a severe issue. Fortunately, you have a proper backup strategy in place. The backups are performed as follows: 1. Full database backup every Sunday at 2:00 AM. 2. Differential backup every day at 2:00 AM, except Sunday. 3. Transaction log backup every hour. Today is Wednesday, and the failure occurred at 10:15 AM. You have the following backup files available: 1. Full backup: Full_Backup_Sun.bak taken on Sunday 2:00 AM. 2. Differential backups: Diff_Backup_Mon.bak, Diff_Backup_Tue.bak, Diff_Backup_Wed.bak taken at 2:00 AM on their respective days. 3. Transaction log backups: Hourly backups from Sunday 3:00 AM until Wednesday 10:00 AM, like TLog_Backup_Wed_09.bak, TLog_Backup_Wed_10.bak. Given the RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of 15 minutes, which of the following sequences of restore operations would ensure minimal data loss? A: Full_Backup_Sun.bak, Diff_Backup_Wed.bak, then all Transaction Log backups from Wednesday. B: Full_Backup_Sun.bak, Diff_Backup_Tue.bak, then all Transaction Log backups from Tuesday and Wednesday. C: Full_Backup_Sun.bak, Diff_Backup_Wed.bak, then Transaction Log backups from Wednesday 2:00 AM to 10:00 AM. D: Full_Backup_Sun.bak, then all Transaction Log backups from Sunday to Wednesday 10:00 AM. E: Full_Backup_Sun.bak, Diff_Backup_Mon.bak, Diff_Backup_Tue.bak, Diff_Backup_Wed.bak, then Transaction Log backups from Wednesday 2:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
Medium Transaction Log Management Performance Tuning Log Management	Solve
You are a DBA at a large company managing an SQL Server database which is crucial for daily operations. The database is configured with the Full recovery model. The database is experiencing considerable transaction log growth during business hours, which is impacting the disk space and performance. The following operations are performed on this database: 1. A large ETL process that runs every night, which transforms and loads data into several tables. 2. A data archiving job that runs every night, which removes old data from several tables. 3. Frequent read/write operations during the day as part of normal business operations. Given this scenario, which of the following strategies could help manage the transaction log growth effectively? A: Switch to the Simple recovery model. B: Schedule frequent log backup and cleanups during business hours. C: Shrink the transaction log file size during business hours. D: Increase the database file size.
Medium Multi Select	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: How many rows does the following SQL query return?
Medium Select & IN	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: Which of the following SQL queries would return the year when neither a football or cricket winner was chosen?
Hard With, AVG & SUM	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: How many tuples does the following query return?

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server 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 & comparative results

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.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Cuál es la prueba en línea de SQL Server?

La prueba en línea de SQL Server es una evaluación de habilidades que evalúa el conocimiento y las habilidades de un candidato relacionados con Microsoft SQL Server, que es un sistema de administración de bases de datos relacional utilizada para almacenar y recuperar datos. La prueba generalmente incluye preguntas sobre las características del servidor SQL, el diseño de la base de datos, las consultas SQL, etc.

¿Puedo combinar múltiples habilidades en una evaluación personalizada?

Si, absolutamente. Las evaluaciones personalizadas se configuran en función de la descripción de su trabajo e incluirán preguntas sobre todas las habilidades imprescindibles que especifique.

¿Tiene alguna característica anti-trato o procuración en su lugar?

Tenemos las siguientes características anti-trate en su lugar:

Preguntas no postradas
Procuración de IP
Procedor web
Procedores de cámara web
Detección de plagio
navegador seguro

Lea más sobre las funciones de procuración.

¿Cómo interpreto los puntajes de las pruebas?

Lo principal a tener en cuenta es que una evaluación es una herramienta de eliminación, no una herramienta de selección. Una evaluación de habilidades está optimizada para ayudarlo a eliminar a los candidatos que no están técnicamente calificados para el rol, no está optimizado para ayudarlo a encontrar el mejor candidato para el papel. Por lo tanto, la forma ideal de usar una evaluación es decidir un puntaje umbral (generalmente del 55%, lo ayudamos a comparar) e invitar a todos los candidatos que obtienen un puntaje por encima del umbral para las próximas rondas de la entrevista.

¿Para qué nivel de experiencia puedo usar esta prueba?

Cada evaluación de AdaFace está personalizada para su descripción de trabajo/ persona candidata ideal (nuestros expertos en la materia elegirán las preguntas correctas para su evaluación de nuestra biblioteca de más de 10000 preguntas). Esta evaluación se puede personalizar para cualquier nivel de experiencia.

¿Cada candidato tiene las mismas preguntas?

Sí, te hace mucho más fácil comparar los candidatos. Las opciones para las preguntas de MCQ y el orden de las preguntas son aleatorizados. Tenemos características anti-trato/procuración en su lugar. En nuestro plan empresarial, también tenemos la opción de crear múltiples versiones de la misma evaluación con cuestiones de niveles de dificultad similares.
