Introduction

Assessments on PyjamaHR are designed to streamline the recruitment process. These are not your typical assessments; they are powered by advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our AI-powered assessments are designed to evaluate a candidate's skills and abilities in a more precise and efficient manner than traditional assessments. They provide an unbiased and apt evaluation of a candidate, ensuring that you hire the most qualified individuals for your open positions, in record time!

Why Should You Use Tests?

The benefits of using AI-powered tests on PyjamaHR are manifold. Here are a few key reasons:

1. Efficiency: AI-powered assessments significantly reduce the time spent on screening and shortlisting candidates. They can quickly evaluate a candidate's skills and qualifications, freeing up valuable time for your HR team.

2. Accuracy: Our AI algorithms are designed to minimize human error. They provide a more accurate evaluation of a candidate's abilities, ensuring that the best candidates are shortlisted.

3. Advanced Proctoring: Proctoring or anti-cheating mechanisms cement the foundation of an excellent screening process. With multiple anti-cheating layers like disabled tab switching, full-screen mode, and full-time visual proctoring, you can ensure that candidates taking a test do not cheat.

4. Fairness: AI-powered assessments eliminate unconscious bias from the recruitment process. They ensure that all candidates are evaluated on the same criteria, promoting a fair and inclusive hiring process.
