HackerRank for Work helps you gain insights into how your specific Tests are progressing. As a Recruiter, you can use HackerRank Test insights to analyze the trend of your candidates’ performance compared to the time taken and scores they achieve in a particular Test.
The Insights tab of a Test provides an analytical view of your candidate’s performance. The graphical representations for metrics such as score distribution, Question-wise time and score metrics, and overall candidate performance help you understand your candidates’ approach and success rate in solving a Test.
You can further use this analysis to select suitable candidates for the next step of your hiring process and also understand the efficiency and effectiveness of your Test.
Prerequisites
- You must have created a Test and invited candidates.
- You must have a considerable number of candidates who have attempted and submitted the Test.
Viewing the Test Insights
- Navigate to Tests and select the required Test.
- Click Insights to view the Test insights page.
The Test Insights page
The Insights page displays a graphical representation of the candidate’s performance in the test. The different sections on the Insights dashboard are:
Test Details
This section provides the basic details about the Test, such as the name of the test, the test ID, the owner of the test, and so on.
Test Activity and Test Level Insights
These sections describe the Test progression and the candidate scores.
Summary of Test progression
The fields in the Test Activity and Test Level Insights section are further described in the following table:
|
Field |
Description |
|
Total Invited |
Indicates the total number of candidates invited to this Test. |
|
Total Attempts |
Indicates the total number of submissions made to this Test. Example: This field indicates 4 if four of your invited candidates have attempted and submitted the Test. |
|
Attempt Rate |
Indicates the % of candidates who attempted the test. |
|
Median Score |
Indicates the median value from different candidates’ test scores. This value serves as a benchmark score to identify candidates who qualify and those who don’t. |
|
Median Attempt Time |
Indicates the median value from different candidates’ test completion times. This median value serves as a benchmark correlation to separate the faster and slower test takers. Example: If the value is 10m 45s, it implies that 50% of your candidates completed this Test in less than or equal to the median time. |
|
Median Time to Full Score |
Indicates the median value from different test completion times, considering only those Tests in which candidates have achieved a full score. This median value serves as a benchmark correlation to separate test takers who achieved a full score in the shortest possible time. Example: If the value is 15m 30s, it implies that 50% of your candidates completed this Test with a full score in less than or equal to the median time. |
