Skills Assessments that rank themselves
Generate a role-specific written assessment in minutes, send it to candidates, and get back an explainable, deterministic score for every submission: knowledge and behavior, side by side.
Everything in the box
A full assessment engine, not just a quiz builder
Author, deliver, and score technical and behavioral assessments, with the integrity controls and audit trail hiring teams actually need.
Generated question sets
Describe the role and the principles that matter. HCIA drafts technical MCQs, situational-judgment scenarios, and behavioral items you review and edit before anything reaches a candidate.
Deterministic, explainable scoring
Every submission is scored the same way: an overall result plus per-section breakdowns for knowledge and behavior, with the passing threshold you set for each section.
Built-in integrity monitoring
Tab switches, copy, and paste attempts are logged and disclosed to candidates up front. Choose to log only, flag for review, or apply a score penalty.
Five languages, one standard
Generate and deliver in English, German, Arabic, French, and Spanish. Difficulty stays equivalent so results remain comparable across every candidate.
Immutable, versioned templates
Publishing snapshots the question set. Editing bumps the version and never changes an assessment already in a candidates hands, or one they completed.
Flexible delivery timing
Fixed or per-candidate dynamic sets, a fixed dynamic off timer, shuffle and backtracking controls, and re-assessment cooldowns, all per template.
AI question generation
Different questions for every role and every principle
For a role assessment, HCIA writes technical questions tuned to that exact job. For a general assessment, it generates behavioral items from the custom principles you define. Scroll to see a live example of each question type.
Technical MCQ, tuned to the exact role
Give HCIA a job title and the domains that matter. It writes multiple-choice questions calibrated to that role and seniority, with one keyed answer and distractors that catch shallow knowledge. Change the role, get a different set.
Marketing Manager Growth Analytics
A landing page gets plenty of visitors but very few sign-ups. Which change is most likely to lift the sign-up rate first?
- ABuy more ads to increase traffic
- BMake the call-to-action clearer and easier to find keyed
- CAdd more images and animations
- DChange the page background color
Situational Judgment from your principles
Name a principle you hire for, like Customer Obsession, and HCIA drafts realistic workplace scenarios with options keyed best-to-worst. It measures judgment, not memorization.
Custom principle Customer Obsession
A customer reports a serious bug 15 minutes before your planned release.
What do you do first?
- ARelease on schedule and fix it next cycle
- BReproduce it and assess customer impact before deciding to hold keyed
- CAsk the customer to work around it for now
- DEscalate to your manager and wait for direction
Likert items that read true intent
Agreement-scale statements probe self-reported traits on a five-point scale, with reverse-keyed items mixed in to catch inconsistent or exaggerated responding.
Custom principle behavioral
I actively seek out customer feedback even when no one asks me to.
5-point agreement scale reverse-keying supported
Most Least forced choice, harder to game
Forced-choice blocks ask candidates to pick what is most and least like them. This resists socially-desirable answering, so the behavioral signal stays honest.
Custom principle Bias for Action
Choose which statement is MOST and which is LEAST like you.
- I would rather ship early and iterateMostLeast
- I prefer to plan exhaustively before startingMostLeast
- I wait for consensus before movingMostLeast
- I act on the best data available nowMostLeast
Forced choice resistant to socially-desirable answering
Set up in minutes
From role to ready-to-send in four steps
A guided builder walks you through scope, competencies, and question mix. Then AI does the drafting.
- 01
Set the scope
Pick General, Role, or Both, name the assessment, and set difficulty, passing score, and the availability window.
- 02
Choose principles
Select built-in or custom competencies and how many questions each should get. Skipped automatically for role-only technical checks.
- 03
Plan the mix generate
Set how many Technical MCQ, SJT, Likert, and MLM questions you want, then let AI draft the whole set in seconds.
- 04
Review publish
Edit, lock, or regenerate any question, then publish. Invites and reminders to candidates go out automatically.
Explainable results
See exactly where a candidate stands
Every submission returns one overall score and a breakdown by section, so you can tell a strong technical hire from a strong culture fit at a glance.
- A competency radar shows strengths and gaps across principles at a glance.
- Per-section pass thresholds: fail any section, fail the assessment.
- Deterministic scoring: the same answers always produce the same result.
- Export the full candidate report to PDF in one click.

Competency profile
Score by section
Radar shows the competency profile; bars show each section score with its passing threshold. Illustrative example.
Integrity
Anti-cheat, dialed to maximum
Run any assessment in Maximum protection mode. HCIA watches the signals that matter, records every event on an audit trail, and lets you decide the consequence. Monitoring is always disclosed to candidates on the consent screen.
When a flag fires, you choose:
- Tab-switch and focus-loss detection
- Copy, cut and paste blocking
- Right-click and context-menu lock
- Full-screen exit alerts
- Per-question time and pattern tracking
- Shuffled question and answer order
Disclosed to every candidate on the consent screen before they begin.
Pipeline automation
Let the score decide the next step
Set the thresholds once. When a candidate submits, HCIA routes them automatically: shortlist the strong, send the borderline to review, and decline the rest.
You choose the thresholds and pipeline stages. Duplicate invites are prevented automatically, and you can require manual approval before any auto-move.
