Assessments Engineers Actually Want to Take
Engineers don't want to take your outdated coding tests (you know they don't provide true signal anyway). Screen assessments have an 80-90% completion rate, so you don't have to worry about drop off.
📣
Never miss the talented engineers in your pipeline again

Triplebyte tests are adaptive and use a nominal model for scoring. This allows for “partial credit” on multiple choice questions, to help identify unconventional thinkers vs. random guessers.

"
[After running an A/B test with both tools], I quickly found that the HackerRank signal was awful. People could score 20% or 80% and you still had no idea how good they actually are. But the Triplebyte Screen scores actually gave you insight.
If [the candidate] scores a 4 or 5 on Screen, we make an offer 50 to 60% of the time. "
