Testing

Pre-Employment Testing Software

Screen candidates before the recruiter call. Stop spending manager time on candidates who cannot do the work.

Pre-employment testing software qualifies applicants against real job skills before any interview is scheduled. AssessExpert delivers role-specific tests with anti-cheat proctoring and rubric scoring, then hands the hiring team a structured report so the only candidates who reach interview are the ones who can do the work.

The cost of skipping this step

A bad mid-level hire costs the company 6-9 months of salary in lost productivity, replacement recruiting, and team morale. At a $60k role that is $30k-$45k per bad hire. Stop one a quarter and the platform pays for itself many times over.

What testing filters out

Inflated experience claims. Confident interviewees with shallow technical depth. Skill-CV mismatch that would otherwise be caught at month three. Candidates who present well but ship poorly.

What it does not catch — cultural fit, motivation, team dynamics — is what the interview is for.

Where the test belongs in the funnel

Right after CV screen, before the recruiter call. That order saves the most manager time and is fairer to candidates than a screening call that ends in silent rejection.

Candidates who pass earn the interview. Candidates who fail receive a polite decline with a clear reason — better candidate experience than the ghosting most receive today.

FAQ

Common questions

How long is the test?

30-90 minutes depending on whether you include the practical phase. We recommend including it.

Will candidates drop off?

A small percentage. Those who refuse a 60-minute test are usually the ones who would not have lasted in the role anyway.

Can we customise the test per role?

Yes. Custom banks are built by our Exam Setup team in two to three weeks.
