How Mobilunity Tests Candidates: Test Task VS Coding Assignment
Aside of a Tech Talk with the candidate (that will still be a general method applicable to ensure the level of the Candidate), these are two major ways to test the Candidate we at Mobilunity offer:
- give one a test task to be done then at one’s spare time, and committed back once ready, OR
- prompt the candidate to an online coding session when the Client sees realtime what and how the Candidate does
Each method PROs:
TEST TASK TO BE DONE FROM HOME
- Usually is more solid and sophisticated than online coding assignment can be
- Will take some 3-6 hours, quite often – even more. Someone who commits to do it, most likely really wants to work with you!
- Puts less pressure on the Candidate, should this be a benefit
- Does not take Client’s time for being present during the execution
- Makes the Candidate think again how bad he or she wants this job
ONLINE CODING ASSIGNMENT
- Usually lasts up to 1-2 hours, which is fast for the candidate
- Will most likely be accepted for execution by the Candidate, as an investment into the application process is quite small
- To a hands-on interviewer knowing how to code, shows very fast if the candidate is a fit
- Shrinks the logistics of the whole Candidate Experience and the whole process, making turnaround time way smaller and foreseeable
- Mobilunity’s recommended option :)
