9 reasons why

Adaface IBM DB2 Database Online Test is the most accurate way to shortlist Database admins

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The IBM DB2 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.

The Adaface IBM DB2 Online Test screens candidates for the typical skills recruiters look for IBM DB2 Database Administrator roles:

Experience with IBM DB2, DB2 HADR, DB2 Tools install, configure, and upgrade
Experience in support, designing, troubleshooting of above technology
Ability to articulate best practices during implementation
Experience in risk-based systems running on UNIX / LINUX platforms along with OS clustering, partitioning and virtualization
Experience in handling day-to-day Operation, Alert, Incident support, Migration and break-fix support

The insights generated from this assessment can be used by recruiters and hiring managers to identify the best candidates for IBM DB2 Database Administrator roles. Anti-cheating features enable you to be comfortable with conducting assessments online. The IBM DB2 Online 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.

Ce ne sont qu'un petit échantillon de notre bibliothèque de plus de 10 000 questions. Les questions réelles à ce sujet IBM DB2 Database Test ne sera pas googleable.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment IBM DB2 Database 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 IBM DB2 Database 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.

About IBM DB2 Database Administrator Roles

Db2 is an IBM data management product family that includes database servers. They initially supported the relational paradigm, but were later expanded to accommodate object–relational characteristics as well as non-relational formats such as JSON and XML.

A Db2 Administrator handles intermediate to advanced database design and implementation, operation and recovery, security and auditing, performance, and installation and migration/upgrades for the z/OS operating system.

Typical IBM DB2 Database Administrator responsibilities include:

Proactively providing fatabase structure, usability and performance improvements
Reviewing query performance reports such as SQL Server Access Plans for inefficiencies and performance issues
Analyzing database activity
Providing updated SQL queries or indices to improve performance
Working with Data Architects and physical DBAs
Improving database performance
Providing consultation and advice on new queries and stored procedures

Avez-vous en place des fonctionnalités anti-chétion ou de proctorisation?

Nous avons les fonctionnalités anti-modification suivantes en place:

Questions non googléables
IP Proctoring
Proctoring Web
Proctoring webcam
Détection du plagiat
navigateur sécurisé

En savoir plus sur les fonctionnalités de Proctoring.

Comment interpréter les résultats des tests?

La principale chose à garder à l'esprit est qu'une évaluation est un outil d'élimination, pas un outil de sélection. Une évaluation des compétences est optimisée pour vous aider à éliminer les candidats qui ne sont pas techniquement qualifiés pour le rôle, il n'est pas optimisé pour vous aider à trouver le meilleur candidat pour le rôle. Ainsi, la façon idéale d'utiliser une évaluation consiste à décider d'un score de seuil (généralement 55%, nous vous aidons à bencher) et à inviter tous les candidats qui marquent au-dessus du seuil pour les prochains cycles d'entrevue.

Pour quel niveau d'expérience puis-je utiliser ce test?

Chaque évaluation ADAFACE est personnalisée à votre description de poste / Persona de candidats idéaux (nos experts en la matière choisiront les bonnes questions pour votre évaluation de notre bibliothèque de 10000+ questions). Cette évaluation peut être personnalisée pour tout niveau d'expérience.

Chaque candidat reçoit-il les mêmes questions?

Oui, cela vous permet de comparer les candidats. Les options pour les questions du MCQ et l'ordre des questions sont randomisées. Nous avons Anti-Cheating / Proctoring en place. Dans notre plan d'entreprise, nous avons également la possibilité de créer plusieurs versions de la même évaluation avec des questions de niveaux de difficulté similaires.

Je suis candidat. Puis-je essayer un test de pratique?

Non. Malheureusement, nous ne soutenons pas les tests de pratique pour le moment. Cependant, vous pouvez utiliser nos exemples de questions pour la pratique.
