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

    The frontend developer test evaluates individuals on the essential skills needed to be a successful frontend developer.

    A frontend developer’s role centers on the user experience of a website, ensuring that the website is easy to navigate, intuitive to use, and functional in meeting the requirements of the user and the organization's needs.

    To carry out this role, frontend developers need to demonstrate logical thinking when solving problems, time management in meeting deadlines, and a range of software and technical skills in understanding coding languages as well as how to code.

    When recruiting for frontend developers, you want to ensure that the candidates you recruit have the skill set to carry out the role effectively. Determining the skill level of a candidate can be tricky.

    Candidates may state they are proficient at coding, optimizing webpages for use across multiple devices, time management, or developing intuitive websites with the needs of the user in mind, but evaluating this from a CV or interview alone is challenging.

    The frontend developer test overcomes this dilemma by providing recruiters with a practical way of assessing candidates against these essential skills and capabilities.

    Candidates that perform well on the test and demonstrate the skills needed for a frontend developer role progress to the next stage of the recruitment process, leading to the selection of the most suitable candidates for the role and, ultimately, successful hiring decisions.

    Many other roles in this field share the skills needed to be a successful frontend developer. Given this, the frontend developer test can be used in the recruitment process for several roles, including:

How our test measures frontend development 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 become a frontend 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 frontend developer test is constantly updated and optimized to ensure the best experience and results.
