Assessments

Build skills tests, write or generate questions, and send them to candidates.

Assessments are skills tests candidates take online — multiple-choice, written and video questions, marked automatically. Build them under Assessments in the sidebar, then attach one to a job so candidates who pass the CV review take it next.

Assessments used by a job

You cannot delete an assessment while a job uses it — remove it from those jobs first. Editing one that candidates have already taken only affects new attempts.

Each question appears as a card with its type, points and whether it is required. Expand it to see the details, use the pencil to edit, or drag cards to change the order (saved immediately).

Generating questions with AI

Start from a preset — 5 screening (mix), 10 deep technical, 3 behavioral video — or set how many of each type you want, up to 20 in total.
Pull from a job posting to base the questions on that job's requirements, skills, description and hiring brief. Add topics to focus on, or free-form notes.
Generate drafts the questions. Nothing is saved yet: review them, tick the ones you want and click Import.

Uses AI credit

Every generation — including Generate new set — uses AI credit. Importing does not.

Previewing

Preview lets you answer your questions as a candidate would, to check the wording and options. Nothing is saved and submitting is disabled; Exit preview returns you to the workspace.

Settings

General Settings — Category, Difficulty, Time limit (up to 240 minutes here) and Pass score.
Advanced — Randomize question order and Show feedback after submit.
Press Save changes. Delete assessment in the Danger Zone removes it and all its questions, permanently.

Using assessments with jobs

Automatically, for every applicant

On the job form, turn on Assessment Configuration and pick the assessment. Candidates whose CV passes move to Awaiting Assessment and are emailed the link straight away, with the job's Expiry Days as their due date.

By hand, to chosen candidates

Click Assign, choose a job, then tick candidates. Only shortlisted candidates can be assigned; closed jobs cannot be picked.
Optionally make it Required and set a Due date.
Assign emails each candidate their link and moves them to Awaiting Assessment.

Results

Each candidate's result is on their application (Assessment tab) and candidate profile: the score, Passed or Failed, every answer with the AI's feedback, and Screen integrity — how often they left the assessment screen. Passing moves the candidate to Shortlisted; failing rejects them.
