Hiring
Reading assessment results without over-weighting them
Jun 30, 2026 · 3 min read
An overall percentage hides a lot. Look at the score per question type: a candidate who is strong on coding and weaker on MCQs tells a different story from the reverse.
Compare against the passing score you set for the role, not against other candidates who took a different assessment.
Use the result to decide where to spend interview time. It should sharpen the conversation, not replace it.
