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.
