Assessment Creation

At Kontorva, our assessments are designed to accurately evaluate a candidate’s technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and potential for success in real-world scenarios. Each assessment is tailored to meet the specific needs of the client and reflects the technical requirements of the roles being filled.

• Security and Confidentiality: All assessment data is protected by encryption, and client-specific content remains confidential to maintain a competitive edge.

Assessment Validity

Our platform ensures the validity of assessments by focusing on factors such as:

• Relevance: Each assessment question is carefully selected or customized to ensure it is relevant to the skills being tested. This guarantees that results truly reflect the candidates’ abilities in those specific areas.
• Real-World Problem Solving: Assessments are designed to mimic real-world challenges that developers may encounter in the workplace, providing a more accurate gauge of a candidate’s suitability.
• Comprehensive Reporting: Detailed reports allow clients to easily interpret results, comparing candidates on various metrics such as code efficiency, problem-solving approach, and coding style.

Minimizing Bias

Kontorva is committed to minimizing bias in assessments, ensuring fair and equitable evaluation for all candidates:

• Objective Scoring: All coding challenges are automatically scored based on performance metrics, eliminating subjective judgment.
• Randomized Question Pools: Our platform uses randomized question pools to ensure that no two candidates receive identical assessments, reducing the likelihood of bias.
• Inclusive Design: We incorporate a diverse set of coding challenges and account for various skill levels and backgrounds, helping to ensure that assessments are accessible and fair for candidates from different demographics.
• Continuous Review: Our assessments are regularly reviewed to detect and correct any bias in question framing or content, promoting equal opportunity for all candidates.

Client Responsibilities

• Customizing Assessments: Clients are encouraged to customize assessments for specific technical skills required for their projects, leveraging the flexibility of our platform to match their needs.
• Fair Hiring Practices: Clients are expected to adhere to equal opportunity and fair hiring practices, using assessment data responsibly and in compliance with relevant labor laws and regulations.
