Test integrity signals

Each candidate receives a different set of questions, shown one at a time, and the answer keys stay on HireValid’s servers. Questions and answer options are shuffled. The 10-minute timer runs on the server; reloading returns the same question with only the time left, and candidates cannot go back. Question text cannot be copied or selected, and a blocked copy attempt is recorded. HireValid may record signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers and answers given faster than a question can be read. The employer reviews these signals and an evidence timeline; the system does not decide on its own. With candidate consent, random webcam photos can be added. Learn how we build our tests.

Use the score as evidence

Review the score alongside a work sample and a structured interview, never on its own. For a work sample, ask the candidate to work through a prospecting task using record details, a lead list or pipeline report, then discuss their choices. The Sales Development Rep role page may help you match the test to the job. For a different sales focus, consider B2B Sales Lead Generation.

Fairness and accommodations

Questions use standard Salesforce features as they work in Lightning Experience without custom setup, and any org-specific rule is stated in the question. Scenarios use names from many backgrounds and a range of industries, with no currency symbols, sales slang or local knowledge; deal sizes are given as seats or units. Wording is kept plain so the test measures working knowledge of the tool rather than reading speed.

You can give any candidate extra time as an accommodation. Results are evidence for a person to review, never an automatic decision.

Provisional: reliability is reported once 200 candidates have completed it.
