How can I assess the technical skills of the back-end developers I want to recruit?

 

Accelerate your recruitment process and automate your testing using SkillValue’s SaaS assessment platform. Our platform has 600+ technical tests, including those dedicated to Back-End development to find and hire the right candidates for your project.

Why should I assess a potential Back-End candidate?

 

A better question to ask yourself might be, “What can I really learn from my candidate’s CV?”

Can a resume truly demonstrate the level and breadth of the engineer’s technical skills? Can they think outside the box? How comfortable are they with embedded and front-end solutions?

It might be almost impossible to find all the info in a CV. But, how much time and internal resources do you have to truly assess a potential recruit’s suitability?

Let SkillValue’s application do it for you!

How do I assess the the skills of a backend developer?

 

With theSkillValue app, you can review your entire backend assessment before sending it to the applicant.

Each candidate has 20 to 40 minutes to complete the backend assessment, depending on the difficulty level and number of questions.

Once the assessment is completed, the recruiter will receive a general score, a ranking next to other applicants, comparison between the tests’ average score and a detailed report.
