Online Assessments to Evaluate Domain Knowledge of Programmers

As explained above, online assessments will greatly help improve your hiring accuracy when coupled with CSS interview questions. CSS assessment tests can either be objective type or project-based. Objective type questions such as multiple-choice questions, fill in the blanks, identify the error or find the output will help evaluate a candidate’s expertise in the domain. Subjective questions will only give you a broader picture of a candidate’s knowledge. Objective questions, on the other hand, focus on core concepts and details. So, the results of these tests will give you a clear picture of the abilities and capabilities of a candidate. Apart from domain-based tests, you can also administer behavioural, personality, and cognitive skill tests online to determine a candidate’s job and cultural fit. 

When it comes to project-based tests, you can use test case scenarios or real-time situations to access a candidate’s knowledge and expertise. These tests will assess a candidate’s ability to apply coding knowledge in a real-time situation. So, these tests will give you more accurate results compared to CSS interview questions. Apart from assessing a candidate’s domain expertise, online assessments also remove human bias and prejudice from the hiring process.

Applications of MeritTrac Assessment Solutions

MeritTrac’s assessment solutions can be customised according to the job role and requirements. Our online assessment platforms allow recruiters to screen thousands of candidates simultaneously. Even if the recruiter doesn’t have any technical knowledge, he/she can effectively use the platform to administer the test. Candidates can take up the assessment online or in specific test centres. After the test is completed, the platform automatically evaluates the answers and gives you the results and analytics. Based on the results, recruiters can select qualified candidates for the next round of interviews. Our assessment solutions also prove useful for lateral recruitment. You can ask the candidate to take up the online test from anywhere. Candidates who clear the screening test can come in for a F2F interview with the hiring manager where they can be assessed with CSS interview questions and real-time coding tests. 

Apart from hiring, MeritTrac assessment solutions can also be used for upskilling your workforce. You can administer these tests to evaluate the skills of employees and identify learning gaps. HR can also use these tests to identify the right candidates for internal transfers.
