If you hire for entry-level roles, you know the struggle: CVs tell you nothing, and off-the-shelf assessments are often irrelevant, abstract, and easy to cheat. That’s why we built the Smart Assessment Builder.

Whether you’re hiring 3 or 300, it’s never been easier to test candidates on the actual tasks they’ll face in the job.
Choose from a growing library of entry-level roles across industries like customer service, logistics, care, retail and more.
We’ll suggest a set of realistic, job-specific tasks. Select the ones that matter most in your role.
