The problem

Resumes tell you what candidates claim. Tests tell you what they can do.

Volume without signal.

Indian IT hiring funnels move fast. A job post for a senior developer role gets hundreds of applications — many from candidates who list the right technologies but haven't used them in anger. Resume screening alone can't separate them.

Interviews that don't scale.

First-round phone screens cost engineer time. When the shortlist is inconsistent — driven by who on the team happened to take a call — the downstream interview becomes unpredictable. A structured pre-screen changes that.

Online tests that are easy to game.

Many platforms let candidates look up answers in another tab or share answers with each other. Randomised question order, per-student option shuffle, and server-side timers raise the cost of sharing answers.

Scores without rationale.

A number out of 100 doesn't help the interviewer know what to probe next, or help the hiring manager defend a decline. A score that explains itself — anchors, band, rationale — does.

What AssessIQ does

Every assessment format IT hiring needs.

Scenario & Written Answers

Scenario and log-analysis questions evaluated with AI assistance by AssessIQ evaluators against anchor and band rubrics, with a written rationale for each score.

Multi-Skill Batteries

Combine aptitude, logical reasoning, and scenario questions into a single timed session. Language-specific packs (Python, Java, SQL, React) are coming soon.

Randomised Delivery

Randomised question order, per-student MCQ option shuffle, and server-side timers on every attempt. Optional fullscreen gate, copy/paste blocking and tab-switch warning; no webcam proctoring or lockdown browser.

Structured Scoring

Anchor-based rubrics and scoring bands on every question. Admins apply the same standard to every candidate — the score explains itself.

Bulk Invite & Scheduling

CSV student import (up to 1,000 rows per file, or 200 when the same import also sends invitations) and email invite links valid for 7 days, with single and bulk resend.

Admin Dashboard

Per-candidate and cohort-level reports, with results export to CSV.

Who it's for

Built for every side of technical hiring.

Product & Engineering Teams

Screen before the interview.

Replace first-round calls with a structured skills test. See who can actually solve the problem before you spend an engineer's time on a phone screen.

Talent Acquisition

Handle volume without sacrificing quality.

Bulk-invite applicants, set a passing threshold, and shortlist in hours — not days. Every decision is backed by the same evidence.

HR & Compliance

An audit trail for every hire.

Full attempt logs, an append-only audit log, and per-answer scoring rationale. If a decision is ever questioned, the evidence is there.

FAQ

Common questions about technical hiring assessments.

What kinds of technical assessments does AssessIQ support?

AssessIQ supports multiple-choice, scenario, log-analysis, and written-answer questions from licensed question packs, including a live aptitude pack. Tests can be used standalone or combined into a single timed session. Coding tests with live execution and language-specific packs (Python, Java, SQL, React) are coming soon.

How does AssessIQ reduce cheating in online tests?

AssessIQ randomises question order, shuffles MCQ options per student, enforces timers on the server (the timer starts when the candidate begins and consents), and issues invite links to individual candidates. Correct answers are never exposed to candidates. It also has an optional fullscreen gate, copy/paste blocking and a tab-switch warning. There is no webcam proctoring and no lockdown browser.

Can I screen for a specific programming language or tech stack?

Language-specific packs (for example Python, Java, JavaScript) are coming soon. Today the live pack is aptitude; talk to us about the domains you need.

How are answers scored?

Multiple-choice answers are scored deterministically. Subjective, scenario, and log-analysis answers are evaluated with AI assistance by AssessIQ evaluators using structured rubrics (anchors and scoring bands) with a written rationale, then released to your company. Students only ever see complete scores.

Is AssessIQ suitable for bulk technical hiring campaigns?

Yes. AssessIQ supports bulk candidate import via CSV (up to 1,000 rows per file, or 200 when the same import also sends invitations) and email invite links that are valid for 7 days and can be resent, singly or in bulk. Admins can export results to CSV.

How does AssessIQ compare with HackerRank or HackerEarth for Indian IT hiring?

AssessIQ is a B2B platform: structured, auditable selection with no public leaderboards and no gamification, for companies that need defensible hiring decisions. It does not yet offer coding tests, so if live code execution is a hard requirement, those platforms are the better fit today.
