9 reasons why

Adaface Linux System Administrator Online Test is the most accurate way to shortlist Linux System Administrators

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

Systemadministrasjonstesten hjelper rekrutterere og ansettelsesledere med 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 tid ved å filtrere ut ukvalifiserte kandidater.

Adaface System Administration Online testskjermkandidater for de typiske ferdighetene rekrutterere ser etter systemadministratorroller:

Kunnskap om databaser, nettverk (LAN og WAN) og patch management
Forståelse av systemsikkerhet (for eksempel inntrengingsdeteksjonssystemer) og sikkerhetskopiering/gjenoppretting av data
Evne til å skrive skript i Python, Perl eller et annet programmeringsspråk
Kunnskap om mange operativsystemer og plattformer

Innsikten som genereres fra denne vurderingen kan brukes av rekrutterere og ansettelsesledere for å identifisere de beste kandidatene for systemadministratorroller. Anti-juksede funksjoner gjør at du kan være komfortabel med å gjennomføre vurderinger på nettet. Systemadministrasjonens online -test er ideell for å hjelpe rekrutterere med å identifisere hvilke kandidater som har ferdighetene til 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.

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 Linux System Administrator Test will be non-googleable.

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 Linux System Administrator 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 Linux System Administrator 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.

Reason #9

Om systemadministratorroller

Systemadministrasjon er okkupasjonen av noen som administrerer ett eller flere systemer, enten de er programvare, maskinvare, servere eller arbeidsstasjoner. Hensikten er å sikre at systemene fungerer effektivt og effektivt.

En systemadministrator, ofte kjent som administrator, er noen som har ansvaret for omsorgen, konfigurasjonen og pålitelig kjøring av datasystemer, spesielt flerbrukerdatamaskiner som servere. Systemadministratoren prøver å garantere at oppetid, ytelse, ressurser og sikkerhet for datamaskinene de har tilsyn med oppfyller kravene til brukerne mens de holder seg under et forhåndsbestemt budsjett.

Typiske systemadministratoransvar inkluderer:

Installere og konfigurere programvare, maskinvare og nettverk
Feilsøking og overvåking av systemytelsen
Sikre IT -infrastrukturens sikkerhet og effektivitet

FAQs

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.
