  • What is an Android developer skills test?

    Android developers design software for Android devices.

    When looking to hire an Android developer for your team, it’s useful to use a dedicated skills test to ensure the candidate you select to hire has the right level of knowledge, skills and experience to excel in the job.

    The Android developer skills test looks at candidates’ understanding of programming, UI and UX, coding skills in Java, CSS and HTML 5, agile development skills and much, much more.

    Using the test as a pre-employment screening device is a great way to boost the efficiency of your hiring process, so you’re only meeting with people who have proven their level of experience.

Identify the best candidates and hire faster

Our pre-employment tests let you drill down to the best candidates at the click of a button.

  • Find those candidates who will excel in the role.

    Select the assessments that match the skills or behaviours for the position. You can test for software or coding competency, soft skills like teamwork, or personality traits, to be sure those who pass have high potential.

  • Reduce costs and time.

    No more laborious sifting of resumes or cover letters. Pick your ideal assessment mix, invite your applicants to take them, see the results in your dashboard. Get to the interview stage fast.

  • Eliminate bias.

    All your candidates take the assessments on a level playing field. Only their results determine whether they get shortlisted.

  • What are the benefits of using the Android developer skills test for pre-screening?

    The skills assessed by the Android developer skills test are specific to the role itself and include coding, cyber security awareness, application life cycle, backend computing, agile development, UI, and UX.

    Questions are multiple-choice and candidates will need to move through the test at pace, without compromising on accuracy. As well as general competency and skill level, the test is also a good indicator of an individual's ability to keep calm under pressure and perform the task effectively — important characteristics of an Android developer.

    As a pre-screening device, skills tests can help speed up the recruitment process and ultimately save your business time, money and effort. They’re also a good tool in removing both conscious and unconscious bias from the recruitment process, as you can make interview decisions based on test results rather than anything else.

    The Android developer skillset is so specific that it’s essential you use a bespoke test such as this to ensure candidates have the skills and experience detailed on their resume.

    Using a skills test can also free up your interview time to focus on soft skills such as communication style and interpersonal skills, both of which are really important and are often the difference between an average Android developer and a great one.

    As well as Android developers, the Android developer skills test can be used when hiring for the following roles:

How our test measures Android developer skills

Test questions are designed to assess industry-specific technical skills, soft skills, aptitude and suitable personality dimensions. Our data-driven approach provides results that enable you to determine how suited is a candidate for the role.

Depending on the type of question, the format of the test may vary. Multiple-choice questions are used to measure aptitude, technical skills and soft skills, while agreement on a Likert scale assesses suitable personality dimensions. Skills tests ensure that candidates are being evaluated in a precise and impartial manner, their results demonstrating the true knowledge and potential of each test taker.

The characteristics required to be an Android developer were determined by looking at the skills and abilities listed in the US Department of Labor’s O*NET database, which collects data from professionals in various fields.

O*NET is the largest database of its kind, providing detailed information about occupations and the requirements for each role.

Our team of I/O psychologists and psychometrics worked closely with subject-matter experts to create an extensive question bank that can be used to test multiple candidates. We also conducted rigorous field testing with a representative sample of candidates to ensure that the questions were reliable and valid.

Test scores are averaged together to give an overall score. The average score is compared to other candidates' scores to ensure there is no bias toward certain candidates.

Our Android developer test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
