9 reasons why

Adaface Problemløsningstest is the most accurate way to shortlist Data Analysts

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

Problemløsningstesten hjelper rekrutterere og ansettelsesledere til å identifisere kvalifiserte kandidater fra et basseng med CV, og hjelper til med å ta objektive ansettelsesbeslutninger. Det reduserer den administrative overhead ved å intervjue for mange kandidater og sparer kostbar ingeniørtid ved å filtrere ut ukvalifiserte kandidater.

Adaface Problem Solving Test Screens -kandidater for de typiske ferdighetene rekrutterere ser etter i et potensielt talent:

Evne til å identifisere og evaluere problemer
Proaktivt på jakt etter løsninger eller utskiftninger for det identifiserte problemet
Evaluering av alle mulige løsninger og scenarier for å nå den beste løsningen for problemet for hånden
Evnen til å utføre den beste løsningen

Innsikten som genereres fra denne vurderingen kan brukes av rekrutterere og ansettelsesledere for å identifisere de beste kandidatene for rollen. Anti-juksede funksjoner gjør at du kan være komfortabel med å gjennomføre vurderinger på nettet. Problemløsningstesten er ideell for å hjelpe rekrutterere med å identifisere hvilke kandidater som har de riktige resonnementferdighetene å gjøre det bra på jobben.

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.

Medium Tennis Players	Solve
A tennis coach was trying to put together a team of 4 players for a tennis championship out of 7 players. R, S, T are the male players, and W, X, Y, Z are the female players. Note that all players have equal ability, and the team needs to have atleast 2 male players. While selecting the team we need to keep in mind that all 4 players should be able to play with each other. We also need to keep the following restrictions in mind: - R cannot play with Y - S cannot play with W - T cannot play with Z Which of the following are true: A: S and Z cannot be in the team together. B: T and Y cannot be in the team together. C: T and X cannot be in the team together.

They also included a clue in the form of a sentence: "If I tell you any character of the code word, you will be able to tell how many vowels there are in the code word." Are you able to figure out what the code word is? A: RAI B: EIG C: AUC D: REO E: COG F: None
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.

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.

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.

Hvilke roller kan du bruke denne problemløsningstesten for

Problemløsning på nettet er designet for å vurdere for roller på inngangsnivå så vel som erfarne roller.

Kritisk tenking: Kritisk tenkende spørsmål er designet for å evaluere kandidatens evne til å konseptualisere og analysere problemer ved å evaluere informasjon for å komme til en meningsfull konklusjon.
Analytisk evne: spørsmålene om analytisk evne er designet for å vurdere kandidatens evne til å forstå forstå tvetydig eller kompleks informasjon fra forskjellige perspektiver for å komme til en konklusjon.
Numerisk evne: spørsmålene om numerisk evne er designet for å teste kandidatens evne til å utføre grunnleggende aritmetiske operasjoner.

Viktigheten av problemløsning på arbeidsplassen

Hver ansatt i yrkeslivet vil møte et krevende arbeidsmiljø som presenterer seg med enkle og komplekse problemer på en daglig basis. En ansattes problemløsende ferdigheter påvirker ikke bare jobbprestasjonen, men også de mellommenneskelige forholdene de bygger i sin yrkeskarriere.

Jobber som krever lederegenskaper som administrerende direktør og HR-sjef kan kreve mer problemløsing sammenlignet med inngangsposisjoner.

Noen av fordelene med problemløsningsferdigheter inkluderer:

Ansatte med bedre problemløsningsevner har en tendens til å skape en positiv arbeidskultur og miljø ved å analysere problemet i stedet for å klandre og klage på kollegene.
Problemer i oppgaven eller jobbrollen kan presentere som nye læringsopphold som kan åpne for en helt ny verden av muligheter for ansatte. Problemer som kan løses kan bli en givende opplevelse for dem så vel som en kilde til suveren tillit.

Vanlige spørsmål

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.
