9 reasons why

Adaface Cognitive Ability Test is the most accurate way to shortlist Data Analysts

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

hvorfor er kognitiv evne så viktig

Kognitive evner er avgjørende for å forutsi jobbytelse

Kognitiv evne sies å forklare i gjennomsnitt hele 42% av jobbytelsen. I riktige hender vil denne typen prediktive kraft gjøre å treffe talent jackpot til en vanlig ting i både promotering og ansettelsesbeslutninger.

Kognitive evalueringer gir mer innsikt i kortere tid

I de fleste kognitive evnevurderinger som prediktiv indeks tar det bare 12 minutter. Disse 12 minuttene gir deg mer informasjon om noens sannsynlighet for suksess enn et 1-timers intervju.

Kognitive evalueringer hjelper deg med å finne fantastiske elever

Kjernen i den kognitive evnenes forhold til jobbytelse er rask kunnskapsabsorpsjon. Vanligvis er personer med høyere kognitive score de som overgår andre på grunn av deres evne til raskt å absorbere all innkommende informasjon og kunnskap. Med andre ord, de tilegner seg nye ferdigheter raskt, og de finner ut ting raskt, noe som oversettes til større ytelsesgevinster.

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 Cognitive Ability Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question
Medium Increasing monthly gross profit	Solve
The CEO of Snipr. Inc wants to grow monthly gross profit by 4%. If costs stay the same, what does the sales turnover need to be in February to achieve this goal?
Medium Magic bag Algebra	Solve
Alex’s uncle is a magician who gave them a magic bag in which coins get doubled each time you put those coins into it. Initially, Alex had few coins with them. So, Alex put all the coins, and the coins got doubled. Alex took out all the coins and gave a few to their friend and then again put the remaining coins back in the bag. The coins doubled again; Alex took out all the coins again and gave a few coins to their second friend. Alex then put the remaining coins in the bag and the coins doubled again. Alex took out all the coins and gave a few coins to their third friend. There were no coins left with Alex when Alex gave coins to the third friend and Alex gave an equal number of coins to each friend. What is the minimum number of coins Alex had initially and how much did Alex give to each friend? A: Started with 3 coins B: Started with 5 coins C: Started with 6 coins D: Started with 7 coins E: Started with 9 coins F: Gave 3 coins in every turn G: Gave 4 coins in every turn H: Gave 5 coins in every turn I: Gave 7 coins in every turn J: Gave 8 coins in every turn K: Gave 9 coins in every turn
Medium Three Clocks Time	Solve
In my house, there are three clocks of different shapes – a round clock, a square clock, and a rhombus clock. The rhombus clock is always accurate whereas the round clock gains 2 minutes every day and the square clock loses 2 minutes every day. I checked the clocks on July 22nd, 2007 at 10 PM, and they were showing different times. Two hours later, when I checked, the clocks were showing the same time, then on which date will all three clocks show the same time again?

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 Cognitive Ability 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 Cognitive Ability 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.

FAQs

Hva er kognitiv evne?

Kognitiv evne kan defineres som en mental evne som innebærer evnen til å planlegge, løse problemer, fornuft, tenke abstrakt, lære raskt, forstå komplekse ideer og lære av erfaring.

Hvilken type spørsmål vil den kognitive evnen online testen inkludere?

Testen er designet for å gjøre det mulig for rekrutterere og ansettelsesledere å raskt identifisere hvilke kandidater som skal inviteres til et intervju.

Denne testen vil vurdere kandidater på deres grunnleggende og dybden av kognitiv evne med spørsmål om:

Evnen til å behandle muntlig og skriftlig informasjon og data.
Evnen til å samle informasjon, nå konklusjoner og ta beslutninger basert på tekst, data og symboler.
Forståelse av grunnleggende matematiske konsepter som forhold, proporsjoner, enkel interesse og rabatter.
Evnen til å bruke rasjonell tenking.

Spørsmålene er designet for å teste for kognitive evner på jobben i motsetning til bare teoretiske begreper. Test situasjons- og problemløsningsevnen til kandidatene dine.

Kan jeg kombinere flere ferdigheter til en tilpasset vurdering?

Ja absolutt. Tilpassede vurderinger er satt opp basert på stillingsbeskrivelsen din, og vil inneholde spørsmål om alle må-ha ferdigheter du spesifiserer.

Har du noen anti-juksende eller proktoreringsfunksjoner på plass?

Vi har følgende anti-juksede funksjoner på plass:

Ikke-googlable spørsmål
IP Proctoring
Nettproctoring
Webcam Proctoring
Deteksjon av plagiering
Sikker nettleser

Les mer om Proctoring -funksjonene.

Hvordan tolker jeg testresultater?

Den viktigste tingen å huske på er at en vurdering er et eliminasjonsverktøy, ikke et seleksjonsverktøy. En ferdighetsvurdering er optimalisert for å hjelpe deg med å eliminere kandidater som ikke er teknisk kvalifisert for rollen, det er ikke optimalisert for å hjelpe deg med å finne den beste kandidaten for rollen. Så den ideelle måten å bruke en vurdering på er å bestemme en terskelpoeng (vanligvis 55%, vi hjelper deg med å benchmark) og invitere alle kandidater som scorer over terskelen for de neste rundene med intervjuet.

Hvilken opplevelsesnivå kan jeg bruke denne testen til?

Hver ADAFACE -vurdering er tilpasset din stillingsbeskrivelse/ ideell kandidatperson (våre fageksperter vil velge de riktige spørsmålene for din vurdering fra vårt bibliotek med 10000+ spørsmål). Denne vurderingen kan tilpasses for ethvert opplevelsesnivå.

Får hver kandidat de samme spørsmålene?

Ja, det gjør det mye lettere for deg å sammenligne kandidater. Alternativer for MCQ -spørsmål og rekkefølgen på spørsmål er randomisert. Vi har anti-juksing/proctoring funksjoner på plass. I vår bedriftsplan har vi også muligheten til å lage flere versjoner av den samme vurderingen med spørsmål med lignende vanskelighetsnivåer.
