How the assessment is delivered

Each candidate receives a different set of questions from large question pools. Questions appear in a different order for each attempt, and answer options are shuffled. The browser receives one question at a time, and answer keys stay on HireValid’s servers. Timing runs on the server. If a candidate reloads, the same question returns with only the time that was left. Candidates cannot copy or select question text; a blocked copy attempt is recorded in the timeline. Each invitation link is personal and expires, and a finished test cannot be taken again. HireValid records signals and summarizes them in an Integrity Score with an evidence timeline for employer review. The score does not decide on its own. With candidate consent, an employer can add webcam photos at random moments.

Use the score as one source of evidence

Review the score alongside a work sample and a structured interview, never on its own. For a role such as Marketing Coordinator, ask the candidate to plan a short deck and explain choices about slide order, charts, or sharing. For a Sales Development Rep, use a presentation task that fits the role. Compare what the candidate does with the scenario-based evidence from the test. You can also consider related software skills through the Microsoft Word test.

Understand scoring and benchmarks

Fairness and accommodations

Questions describe the current desktop version of PowerPoint, naming tabs and commands as they appear on its ribbon, and avoid features that differ between versions or devices. Each question gives every detail it asks about in its text or a short table, so nothing depends on remembering a particular screen. Scenarios use everyday workplace topics, names from many backgrounds, no money symbols, and never ask about colors alone.

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.
