Modify General Settings for Tests

HackerRank allows you to modify the general settings of a test such as key metadata and scheduling options. Most of these settings are defined when you initially create the test. 

Prerequisites 

You must have already created a test.

Modifying general settings

To modify the general settings of a test:

1. Log in to your HackerRank for Work account using your credentials.

2. Go to the Tests tab.

3. Open the test you want to update.

4. Go to Settings > General.
   

   

   
   In the General section, you can update the following:

   • Job description link: Add a link to the job description. This helps hiring stakeholders and reviewers contextualize the test.

   • Role association: Select the role associated with the test (for example, Software Engineer). This helps categorize tests by job function.

   • Work experience: Tag the test to an experience level (for example, 0–2 years). This helps align the test with candidate seniority.

   • Test label: Enter a custom label. This label appears in the test listing view and helps you identify tests easily.

   • Candidate-facing language: Select the language in which the test interface appears to candidates. The available options are English and Canadian French. For more information on changing to Canadian French, see Assess Candidates in Canadian French Language.

   • Test expiration time: Define a start and end time (including time zone) for when the test remains active. Candidates can only take the test during this window.
