This comprehensive guide to creating and editing assessments is designed to give you everything you need to know before you invite your first candidate to take your pre-hire assessment. In this article, we take you through the process step-by-step, so you can quickly have your assessment up and running!

Understanding assessments

What is an assessment?

An assessment is a collection of tasks — compiled by you — to assess the skills of your candidates. It can comprise of individual questions or a guide on how to write a test article — or both. It all depends on you, your hiring process, and the skills of your candidates you need to test.

What should I put in my assessment?

The format of the test/assessment you choose to use is dependent on the role you’re looking to fill. We leave the choice of questions up to you, as every company has different requirements, though we do recommend creating an assessment designed to aim for the highest test-completion rate. The more complicated and comprehensive your test/assessment is, the less likely candidates are to complete it. Feel free to use Workello's pre-optimized template, balanced for comprehensiveness and completion rate.

Question 3

Testing candidates

Accepted Answer

If you like your candidate's portfolio and you'd like to move them forward through your hiring cycle, the next step is to send them an invitation to submit a written test.

Testing/Assessing your candidates' skills is an integral part of hiring writers as it will allow you to evaluate the quality of their 1st drafts. Portfolios are usually curated and heavily edited, and understanding what you can expect without the editors and last-minute polishing will help you plan their onboarding and understand how much training they will need if hired.

To send assessments to your candidates, click on the **Invite to Test **checkbox on the candidate card and then click the Confirm button.

Alternatively, you can use the status dropdown, and select the Invite to Test option.

Your candidate will receive an email notification asking them to complete the written test

When they click the link in the email, they will be taken to their candidate portal where they can start working on their test. They can access the written test in the left menu, read the test instructions, and use the textbox to write or paste their content there.

Hiring writers is one of them, but you might want to hire the most high-quality and cost-effective writers. If that's the case, you might need to hire outside of the US.

Where we had the most success

We evaluated close to 2500 candidates in 18 months, hired over 90, and kept 45.

We did that by testing and posting on hundreds of job boards and doing hundreds of hours of LinkedIn outreach.

So far, our most successful channels have been:

LinkedIn — You can find only the candidates you want to hire and reach out to them directly. We posted LinkedIn job ads as well and, again, only sent our Workello Job Ads to the ones we are certain we like. You can grab our LinkedIn outreach templates here.
