Our coding test received a big update! Throughout spring, the team has been hard at work to release a set of improvements that makes both the hiring and candidate experience of Alva's coding test excellent.
AI Evaluation of Coding Tests
Reviewing the quality of a coding test can be tedious and difficult. If you're not very familiar with the task, it can be hard where to focus the attention and to take a closer look.
Alva's new AI evaluation is here to help. Candidates' submissions are reviewed on both general criteria and task specific requirements to give the hiring team a fast overview of the submission quality. AI evaluations helps save time for the hiring team, and speed up recruitment processes.
Time Limits
Coding tests can now be set with a time limit! Time limits can help standardize recruitment processes and set clear expectations towards candidates on how much time is expected to spend on the challenge.
Test taking anxiety is a real problem, but time limits in Alva are made to be candidate friendly. With Alva's coding tests, candidates aren't kicked out of the session when the timer ends. Instead candidates are allowed to submit late and the hiring team can see both scores within and after the limit passed.
Improved Candidate Onboarding
The candidate onboarding for coding tests have gone through a complete overhaul, making big improvements to the test taking experience.
Before candidates start the test they get a full set of instructions on how the test works and how time limits works, if that is configured by the hiring team
Candidates can set up their code repository with the language and tool before starting the test
