Reason #2

No trick questions

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.

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

Medium

Positive correlation
Solve
Myra is working on her thesis for which she created a scatter plot of the number of teachers and the number of college graduates for cities in Australia. She noticed a positive correlation. Which of these do you think is the probable explanation for this correlation?
A: Teachers encourage people to go to college, so an increase in the number of teachers leads to an increase in the number of college graduates. 

B: Some college graduates choose teaching as a profession after graduating, so an increase in the number of college graduates also leads to an increase in the number of teachers.

C: There are more college graduates and teachers in higher income cities, so income is a confounding variable here, make it difficult to prove causation between number of teachers and number of college graduates. 

D: Cities with a higher population have more teachers and more college graduates, so the correlation is due to a third variable (population of city).

E: The provided data is insufficient, so it is extremely difficult to establish the reason for the correlation.

F: Most college students choose non-teaching professions after graduating, which explains the correlation. 

G: In Australia, college students are encouraged by their teachers to choose teaching as a profession after graduating.

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!


Brandon Lee, Head of People, Love, Bonito

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Problem Solving 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 Problem Solving 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.

Quels rôles pouvez-vous utiliser ce test de résolution de problèmes pour

Le test en ligne de résolution de problèmes est conçu pour évaluer les rôles d'entrée de gamme ainsi que les rôles expérimentés.

  • Pensée critique: Les questions de pensée critique sont conçues pour évaluer la capacité du candidat à conceptualiser et à analyser les problèmes en évaluant les informations afin de parvenir à une conclusion significative.

  • Capacité numérique: les questions de capacité numérique sont conçues pour tester la capacité du candidat à effectuer des opérations arithmétiques de base.

Importance de la résolution de problèmes sur le lieu de travail

Chaque employé de sa vie professionnelle rencontrera un environnement de travail exigeant qui se présente des problèmes simples et complexes au quotidien. Les compétences de résolution de problèmes d'un employé ont non seulement un impact sur le rendement professionnel, mais aussi les relations interpersonnelles qu'ils établissent dans leur carrière professionnelle.

Les emplois qui nécessitent des compétences en leadership tels que celle d'un PDG et d'un responsable RH pourraient nécessiter plus de résolution de problèmes par rapport aux postes de niveau d'entrée.

Certains des avantages des compétences en résolution de problèmes comprennent:

  • Les employés ayant de meilleures compétences en résolution de problèmes ont tendance à créer une culture de travail positive et un environnement en analysant le problème plutôt que de blâmer et de se plaindre de leurs collègues.
  • Les problèmes de tâche ou de rôle peuvent se présenter comme de nouvelles oppurtunités d'apprentissage qui peuvent ouvrir un tout nouveau monde de possibilités pour les employés. Les problèmes qui peuvent être résolus peuvent devenir une expérience enrichissante pour eux ainsi qu'une source de confiance suprême.

What roles can I use the Problem Solving Test for?

  • Data Analyst
  • Graduates
  • Freshers
  • Managers
  • System Admin
  • Front-office roles

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.

Quel est le coût de l'utilisation de ce test?

Vous pouvez consulter nos plans de prix.

Puis-je obtenir un essai gratuit?

Oui, vous pouvez vous inscrire gratuitement et prévisualiser ce test.
