Excel & SQL Test

About the test:

The Excel SQL Test uses scenario-based MCQs to evaluate candidates on their proficiency in using Microsoft Excel and SQL for data analysis and reporting. The test assesses candidates' ability to query and analyze data using SQL, import and export data between Excel and SQL databases, and create and manage Excel reports and dashboards. The test focuses on data modeling, database design, data validation and normalization, SQL functions and procedures, data visualization, and data manipulation.

9 reasons why

Adaface Excel & SQL Test is the most accurate way to shortlist SQL Developers

Reason #1

Tests for on-the-job skills

The Excel & SQL Test helps recruiters and hiring managers identify qualified candidates from a pool of resumes, and helps in taking objective hiring decisions. It reduces the administrative overhead of interviewing too many candidates and saves time by filtering out unqualified candidates at the first step of the hiring process.

Non-googleable questions & proctoring features enable you to be comfortable with conducting assessments online. The Excel & SQL Test is ideal for helping recruiters identify which candidates have the skills to do well on the job.

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.

Dessa är bara ett litet urval från vårt bibliotek med 10 000+ frågor. De faktiska frågorna om detta Excel & SQL Test kommer att vara icke-googleable.

Reason #4

1200+ customers in 75 countries

Med AdaFace kunde vi optimera vår första screeningprocess med upp till 75%, vilket frigör dyrbar tid för både anställningschefer och vårt Talent Acquisition Team lika!

Brandon Lee, Folkchef, Love, Bonito

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Excel & SQL 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 Excel & SQL 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.

Anställningscheferna ansåg att de genom de tekniska frågor som de ställde under panelintervjuerna kunde berätta vilka kandidater som hade bättre poäng och differentierade med dem som inte gjorde så bra. Dom är mycket nöjd med kvaliteten på kandidater som är kortlistade med AdaFace -screening.

Vanliga frågor

Kan jag kombinera flera färdigheter till en anpassad bedömning?

Ja absolut. Anpassade bedömningar ställs in baserat på din arbetsbeskrivning och kommer att innehålla frågor om alla måste-ha färdigheter du anger.

Har du några anti-cheating eller proctoring-funktioner på plats?

Vi har följande anti-cheating-funktioner på plats:

Icke-Googleable-frågor
IP -proctoring
webbproctoring
webbkamera proctoring
Detektion av plagiering
säker webbläsare

Läs mer om proctoring -funktionerna.

Hur tolkar jag testresultat?

Det främsta att tänka på är att en bedömning är ett eliminationsverktyg, inte ett urvalsverktyg. En kompetensbedömning är optimerad för att hjälpa dig att eliminera kandidater som inte är tekniskt kvalificerade för rollen, den är inte optimerad för att hjälpa dig hitta den bästa kandidaten för rollen. Så det ideala sättet att använda en bedömning är att bestämma en tröskelpoäng (vanligtvis 55%, vi hjälper dig att jämföra) och bjuda in alla kandidater som gör poäng över tröskeln för nästa intervjurundor.

Vilken erfarenhetsnivå kan jag använda detta test för?

Varje AdaFace -bedömning anpassas till din arbetsbeskrivning/ idealisk kandidatperson (våra ämnesexperter kommer att välja rätt frågor för din bedömning från vårt bibliotek med 10000+ frågor). Denna bedömning kan anpassas för alla erfarenhetsnivåer.

Får varje kandidat samma frågor?

Ja, det gör det mycket lättare för dig att jämföra kandidater. Alternativ för MCQ -frågor och ordningen på frågor randomiseras. Vi har anti-cheating/proctoring -funktioner på plats. I vår företagsplan har vi också möjlighet att skapa flera versioner av samma bedömning med frågor om liknande svårighetsnivåer.

Jag är kandidat. Kan jag prova ett träningstest?

Nej. Tyvärr stöder vi inte övningstester just nu. Du kan dock använda våra exempelfrågor för övning.

Vad är kostnaden för att använda detta test?

Du kan kolla in våra prisplaner.

Kan jag få en gratis provperiod?

Plattformen är helt självbetjänande, så här är ett sätt att gå vidare:

Du kan registrera dig gratis för att få en känsla för hur det fungerar.
Den kostnadsfria provperioden inkluderar en provbedömning (Java/JavaScript) som du hittar i din instrumentpanel när du registrerar dig. Du kan använda den för att granska kvaliteten på frågorna och kandidaternas upplevelse av ett konversationstest på Adaface.
För att granska kvaliteten på frågorna kan du också granska våra offentliga frågor för 50+ färdigheter här.
När du är övertygad om att du vill testa det med riktiga bedömningar och kandidater kan du välja en plan enligt dina krav.
