Create your own test questions with
the Hire Success® Question Builder

The Hire Success® system makes it easy to create custom job test questions. You just pick what type of question you want, add the text and media you want, and weight it according to its importance to the position you’re trying to fill.

Use different question types when you build your custom test

Question Types

When adding your own question, you have two types of questions to choose from:

Multiple Choice

You can have one or more correct answers per question when you create a multiple-choice test for employment.

Typed Response

This kind is great for questions like simple math problems.

Use the WYSIWYG editor for building your custom test

WYSIWYG Editor

Once you've selected a type, you can:

Upload image, audio, and video files.

Easily move and style text.

You can weight your interview questions differently when you build your custom test

Weight Your Questions

You may decide that some questions on your job assessment tests are more important in determining a successful job candidate. With Hire Success®, you can add or subtract weight to any question to be reflected in the report scoring you receive for each test taken.

Group questions in your custom test

Group Questions That Reference the Same Figure/Table

In some situations, questions will reference the same material (e.g., a graph, table, or image). For these situations, you can easily group questions together so that reference material is only entered once and the context is maintained for the test taker. This is especially helpful when remote proctoring features are enabled so that questions are kept together even though they’re being randomized and only one question is shown at a time.

Easily reorder questions when you build your custom test

Click and Drag Questions into Your Desired Order

Combined with a time limit, using our employment test builder to order questions from easiest to hardest allows you to assess a job applicant’s knowledge of a specific topic. For example, a math test could start with middle school problems, progress through high school and college material, and finally end with graduate-level math.

Having a better idea of a new employee’s knowledge level can be useful for placement, and inform any training that may be needed. NOTE: Make sure that your upper-level questions are assessing only what’s necessary for the position, since questions must be applicable and appropriate to the position.
