Best Practices

Use one assessment for one clear hiring purpose, such as backend screening or communication evaluation.
Keep the Time limit realistic for the number and difficulty of questions.
Set the Pass score high enough to screen fairly, but not so high that it blocks qualified candidates.
Use Clone before making major changes to an assessment that is already used in a hiring process.
Preview the assessment before assigning it to candidates.
