What is an Assessment?

In TestTrick, an assessment is a collection of evaluation components that allow you to test candidates in a secure and standardized environment. Assessments are commonly used during hiring to evaluate role-specific skills and compare candidates objectively.

Each assessment can be linked directly to a job in your ATS, making it easy to manage candidates and view results in one place.

Key Components of a TestTrick Assessment

1. Skill Tests

Skill tests are the foundation of every assessment in TestTrick. These tests evaluate candidates based on their technical knowledge, functional expertise, or job-related skills.

Skill tests help you assess:

Practical and theoretical knowledge
Role-specific competencies
Problem-solving and analytical ability
Overall job readiness

You can select relevant tests based on the role requirements and assessment goals.

💡 Pro Tip: You can add multiple tests within a single assessment. This allows you to evaluate candidates across several skill areas without sending separate assessments.

They help you:
