Absolutely. Candidates can put anything on a CV. As a recruiter, you most likely don’t come from an analytical background yourself, making it very hard for you to assess the candidates’ technical skills. By putting your candidates through an Alooba assessment, you benchmark your candidate’s abilities, prequalifying them and getting peace of mind. When you present the candidate to the client, you can present their results on Alooba. This will allow your client to get a picture of the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, helping to guide their interview process. Combined with your notes on the candidate’s soft skills, cultural fit and work experience, this will make for an excellent customer experience for your client.

Our questions are all proprietary, created from scratch by our content team. Our content team consists of a variety of data professionals - data scientists, data analysts, data engineers and more. They have worked across a variety of industries including banking, fintech, travel, e-commerce, technology, consulting and NGOs. They’ve worked across a variety of functions, including product, marketing and commercial. These varieties of backgrounds have led to us developing a well-rounded set of questions from industry experts. Some of the companies our experts have worked for are Google, Carrefour, Citi Group, Commonwealth Bank, British Airways, HSBC, Get Your Guide, PWC, Woolworths, Optus and Westpac.
Our question curation process involves a subject matter expert creating the question, and then two other subject matter experts independently reviewing the question. This process ensures our questions are of high quality.
We are glad to hear! This feature was just introduced to Alooba at the end of 2020, as part of a thorough product redesign. Once you log into the Alooba app you can find a field called 'question bank' at the end of the menu on the left of the screen. There you can add your own questions and choose the preferred layout. Your customised question will only be used for the tests you create and will not be used by other Alooba for work users.
Great point! Good analysts have a mixture of both soft and hard skills. By their nature, hard skills are more black-and-white, and so are easier to test for. Our MCQ focusses on these such technical skills.
