Short, focused checks per role
Instead of one giant test, we use small, targeted assessments built around what the role really does day to day.
Skills Assessment
Check skills with calm, practical assessments.
Not a scary exam, not random MCQs. Just short, role-based tasks and questions that show whether the skills are really there.
What Skills Assessment actually means here
It’s about seeing how someone thinks and works, not trapping them.
Mix of question types
Scenario questions, small code snippets, “how would you handle this” prompts — enough to see thinking, without asking for free full projects.
Readable result summaries
The output is a short summary plus a skill breakdown. Easy to skim, simple to explain to hiring managers and candidates.
Two views of the same engine
The logic is shared, the experience is different depending on who you are.
Job Seekers
Check where you actually stand
- Take short skill checks for roles you’re aiming at.
- See which topics you handle well and which ones need work.
- Use the feedback to update your resume and portfolio.
- Optional: share your scores when you apply, or keep them private.
Employers
Filter by skill, not just confidence
- Create role-specific assessments with our AI tool, or start from a template.
- Send them automatically to shortlisted candidates straight from JobsNext.
- See clear summaries and skill bars for each person, not just raw answers.
- Use the results to guide interviews instead of replacing them.
Important:
assessments are designed to be short,
respect people’s time,
and avoid “free labour” disguised as a test.
How Skills Assessment runs inside JobsNext
Simple enough to use on every role, not just senior ones.
Step 1
Set up the assessment
Pick a role, tell us what you care about (tools, soft skills, scenarios), and generate a draft with our AI.
Step 2
Send and monitor completion
Invite candidates from your JobsNext shortlist. See who starts, who finishes, and who quietly drops off.
Step 3
Review results with context
You get a small summary, skill bars and notes. Use that to decide who moves to interview, not as an automatic yes/no gate.
Questions we get about Skills Assessment
Let’s set expectations before you start using it.
Usually yes, but the time is reasonable.
Think 15–25 minutes, not a full exam.
You can adjust time limits per role if needed.
No. It flags strong and weak performances,
but it doesn’t auto-reject.
You can still move someone forward
even if their score is average but their profile is promising.
Yes. You can start from a blank template,
add your own questions,
and let our AI help with scoring and summaries only.
By default they see a simple message
(for example: “Good match on core tools, weaker on scenarios”).
Employers can choose to share more detail
if they want to keep the experience transparent.
