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.

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

🧐 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 #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!

Brandon Lee, Head of People, Love, Bonito

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

Reason #8

[プロクチャリング機能]（https://www.adaface.com/proctoring）の詳細をご覧ください。

テストスコアを解釈するにはどうすればよいですか？

留意すべき主なことは、評価が選択ツールではなく排除ツールであることです。スキル評価が最適化され、技術的にその役割の資格がない候補者を排除するのに役立ちます。これは、役割の最良の候補者を見つけるのに役立つために最適化されていません。したがって、評価を使用する理想的な方法は、しきい値スコア（通常は55％、ベンチマークを支援します）を決定し、インタビューの次のラウンドのしきい値を超えてスコアを上回るすべての候補者を招待することです。

このテストを使用できますか？

各ADAFACE評価は、職務記述書/理想的な候補者のペルソナにカスタマイズされます（当社の主題の専門家は、10000以上の質問のライブラリからあなたの評価に適切な質問を選択します）。この評価は、あらゆる経験レベルでカスタマイズできます。

すべての候補者は同じ質問を受け取りますか？

はい、候補者を比較するのがはるかに簡単になります。 MCQの質問と質問の順序のオプションはランダム化されます。 [https://www.adaface.com/proctoring）機能を備えている[アンチチート/監督]（https://www.adaface.com/proctoring）があります。エンタープライズプランでは、同様の難易度の問題を伴う同じ評価の複数のバージョンを作成するオプションもあります。

私は候補者です。練習テストを試すことはできますか？

いいえ。残念ながら、現時点では練習テストをサポートしていません。ただし、[サンプルの質問]（https://www.adaface.com/questions）を使用するには、練習できます。
