Many things are easy in life; hiring and building a competent technical team is not on that list. However, including pre-employment or technical assessment tools in the recruitment process can greatly help recruiters identify talented developers.
When leveraging pre-employment tools, the key aspect is to be able to create accurate tests for a given role. Choosing an appropriate assessment tool that allows flexibility as well as automation while generating online coding tests is much needed.
To help you get an objective measure of ability in potential candidates by creating coding tests as per your specific requirements, HackerEarth Assessments allows the creation of coding tests in four different ways:
Let’s break it down for you:
We understand that many developer roles are similar across organizations, but specific skills can vary significantly. Hence, HackerEarth allows skill-based recruitment test creation for over 50 different skills ranging from basics such as C and C++ to more advanced topics such as Big Data.
Let’s say you want to recruit a frontend developer with tech skills such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. All you need to do is:
Log in to your HackerEarth Assessment account by using your admin credentials.
Click on Create new test and select Skills.
Select the desired experience level.
Choose the required skills from the drop-down menu or search for a skill by typing it in the search bar.

A job description enables you to put together a list of skills and criteria that a candidate is expected to meet and it can form a great base to evaluate and benchmark a candidate’s performance.
Job descriptions include the following information:
HackerEarth Assessment lets you create carefully-curated tests based on job descriptions. Built on NLP, the platform extracts the skills and experience from the description (mentioned above) and creates an assessment best suited to evaluate a candidate.
This feature extracts five crucial or majorly-required skills to select questions. The numbers and difficulty level of questions are determined based on the years of experience mentioned in the job description.
To create a test based on your job description, follow these steps:
Log in to your HackerEarth Assessment account by using your admin credentials.
Click on Create new test. Select Job description (JD) to upload your requirements for the role.
Click Add your job description to write your requirements between 100 and 1000 characters. You can also upload or drag and drop a file from your system file that contains the required job description by clicking Upload your job description.
You can view and edit the following details in this step.

HackerEarth Assessments lets you create tests based on specific job roles or profiles that your organization requires. This method helps you create a standardized test for a given job role. The platform will suggest the skills relevant to the selected job role and add/modify the skills and experience to create the test.
For example, if you are required to assess software developers, the platform will suggest the required skills for a software developer and create a test based on those topics or skills.
To create a HackerEarth test based on the job titles, follow these steps:
Log in to your HackerEarth Assessment account by using your admin credentials.
Click on Create new test and select Job role.
Select the job title for which you want to create the test (For instance, Software Developer.)
Once you select the job role, this is how it appears on your screen.
