Evidence tied to server work

See how candidates read server information
Some questions show a small table of settings, log entries, or counter readings, so responses show how candidates interpret real server details.
Task knowledge, not screen recall
Questions focus on server tasks and include the settings or readings needed, rather than relying on a particular screen layout or a rare error code.
Connect knowledge to routine upkeep
Questions include monitoring, updates, and backups, so you see what candidates know about keeping servers healthy, not just installing them.

Test integrity signals for review

Each candidate receives a different set of questions from large question pools, in a different order, with shuffled answer options. The browser receives one question at a time, and answer keys stay on HireValid’s servers. This test runs for 10 minutes, and candidates cannot go back to earlier questions. Reloading brings back the same question with only the remaining time. Question text cannot be copied or selected, and a blocked copy attempt is recorded in the timeline. HireValid records signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers, and answers faster than a question can be read. The employer can review an Integrity Score and evidence timeline; neither decides on its own. With candidate consent, the employer can add webcam photos at random moments.

Use the score as review evidence

Treat the score as evidence for a person to review, not as a decision on its own. Pair it with a work sample, such as asking the candidate to interpret provided server settings or monitoring readings and explain a suitable next step. Then use a structured interview to explore the same job-related areas. For related context, see the Linux and Active Directory tests, and the pre-employment testing guide.

Understand scoring and benchmarks

Fairness and accommodations

Questions describe tasks and show the settings, log entries or readings they ask about, so nothing depends on remembering a particular screen layout or a rare error code. They use generic organization and server names, names from many backgrounds, plain US English and the default English interface names, and avoid behavior that differs between the supported versions of the product. The reading load is kept short so the time limit tests knowledge 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.
