Detailed Score Breakdowns

Ducknowl isn’t just for recruiting, screening, and testing on one platform. Through our “Level Indicators” tests, you can get a complete view of how your candidate measures on entry, mid, and senior levels. So if you find a candidate isn’t quite experienced for, say, Senior Network Engineer, a level indicator test would show that candidate would be a great fit for a less experienced role at the company!

With automated proctoring, rest assured that candidate accountability is maintained. Our system automatically detects any movement outside of the test, which means no Googling the answers! Candidates receive a warning; recruiters see that flat when viewing the test results.

Time-Saving

Not only do you avoid proctoring tests yourself, but candidates can also take Ducknowl skill assessments in the quiet comfort of their homes, on their own watch within the platform’s customizable expiration dates.

All-In-One Custom Experience

Get rid of the secondary testing sites! Neither you nor your prospective candidates need to create yet another account on yet another website. This makes sharing candidate results easy, too!

Fight Conscious and Unconscious Bias

While fighting biases is an ongoing effort, Ducknowl allows you to make the most data-driven decisions to hire the most qualified candidate. Utilize testing data results across each candidate.

User-Friendly Design

Ducknowl’s user-friendly design makes skill assessment simple and available to all users. Candidates can simply follow the Ducknowl Green buttons to navigate from beginning to end, and you can quickly view their test results and data with a simple click, too!

Add your customized skill test

Do you want to add your customized skill test? Ducknowl supports your need for customized skill tests. You can share with us what questions you want to add and we will create the custom test that is available for you.

"Skill assessment works best when the questions being asked are crafted explicitly to the role and needs of the team hiring the new candidate. In designing a skills test, combine different queries to view how a candidate will perform in different scenarios. There are various ways to set up a skills test – and we’ll get into the mechanics of how to run the assessment in the next section. But, designing a thoughtful aptitude test takes some initial foresight on behalf of the recruiter and team"
Technical assessment means a systematic evaluation of technical skills of the candidate with the help of an online test. These technical skills include management skills, software programming skills, IT skills, sales skills, marketing skills, office skills, communication skills and other functional skills.
Non-technical skills are skills that can help individuals to execute non-technical tasks and procedures with the utmost ease. There are three types of non-technical skills: social, cognitive, and personal skills.
Auto proctoring is an online proctoring technique that catches candidates violating the rules while attending an online exam. Our software is wholly data driven, checking whether candidates leave the tab to cheat, have someone next to them, or are visibly checking their phone. Best of all, candidates are aware of proctoring when they begin the hiring process.
