Looking for IKM alternatives?

Adaface is the best IKM alternative to evaluate the on-the-job skills of your candidates.

Adaface is "you'll never go back" better


First we’d just like to give a quick nod to the team at IKM. They are part of the ecosystem helping companies hire great candidates and have been in the space for a while. So what’s the difference between IKM and Adaface? Sure there are features and product stuff that’s different but the biggest difference is how much we care about candidate experience. We want to ensure every candidate leaves the screening experience with a smile. We believe that status quo tech assessment platforms are not a fair way for companies to evaluate candidates. We started Adaface to help companies find strong teammates by assessing on-the-job skills required for a role. We set up 45 min candidate-friendly, custom assessments that test for on-the-job skills.

Candidate sentiment for IKM

A simple google search reflects the candidate sentiment for traditional skills assessment solutions

Why some of our recent customers have moved from IKM to Adaface:

We noticed that some candidates who we expected would be really good engineers were failing IKM's assessments, and we got negative feedback from our clients about some of the candidates who had done really well on IKM's assessments. We feel that we cannot rely on the scores on the assessments to decide which candidate profiles to share with our clients. So we're exploring other solutions in the market, and the results we are seeing with Adaface's pilot seem promising.

- Recruitment Manager (IT) @ Fortune 500 staffing company (Singapore office)
We feel that IKM's assessments are not reflective of the day to day work of a developer. It is good to check their knowledge of theoretical concepts, but we want to see more synergy between the test and what they are going to be doing day-to-day.

- Tech startup (250+ employees, US)

Claims for a new drug Xylanex
Critical Thinking
Evaluating Arguments
Identifying Assumptions
Solve
A pharmaceutical company claims that their new drug, Xylanex, is highly effective in treating a specific medical condition. They provide statistical data from a clinical trial to support their claim. However, a group of scientists has raised concerns about the validity of the study design and potential bias in the data collection process. They argue that the results may be inflated and not truly representative of the drug's effectiveness.
                    
                    Which of the following assumptions is necessary to support the pharmaceutical company's claim?
A: The clinical trial participants were randomly selected and representative of the target population.
                    B: The scientists raising concerns have a conflict of interest and are biased against the pharmaceutical company.
                    C: The statistical analysis of the clinical trial data was conducted by independent experts.
                    D: The medical condition being treated by Xylanex is widespread and affects a large number of individuals.
                    E: The pharmaceutical company has a proven track record of developing effective drugs for similar medical conditions.

EC2DataProcessing
EC2

Network ACLs
Solve
You work as a Solutions Architect for a data analysis firm. The company stores large datasets on Amazon S3, and you've been tasked with setting up an Amazon EC2 instance to process this data. The EC2 instance will fetch data from S3, process it, and then write the results back to a different S3 bucket.
                    
                    To ensure security, the EC2 instance should not have direct internet access, and it should only be able to communicate with the S3 buckets. You've decided to place the EC2 instance in a VPC private subnet with a CIDR block of 10.0.1.0/24. The associated security group is set to deny all inbound traffic and allow all outbound traffic.
                    
                    Which additional configuration should you make to enable the EC2 instance to access the S3 buckets while complying with the security requirements?
A: Modify the Network ACL of the subnet to allow outbound connections to the IP range of the S3 service.
                    B: Assign a Public IP to the EC2 instance and update the security group to allow inbound and outbound traffic to S3.
                    C: Add a NAT Gateway in the private subnet and update the route tables to direct S3 traffic to the NAT Gateway.
                    D: Create an S3 VPC Gateway Endpoint and update the route tables for the private subnet to direct S3 traffic to the VPC Endpoint.
                    E: Create a VPN connection from the VPC to the S3 buckets.

Visitors Count
Strings
Logic
Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. 
Example:
                    
                    Input:
                    WWMMWWCCC
                    
                    Expected Output: 
                    4W3C2M
                    
                    Explanation: 
                    ‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. 
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
                    - The input is already parsed and passed to a function.
                    - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.
                    - If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’.
                    - If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.
