Test Candidates

Start from a job role template

What the templates are, how the suggestions are made, and why you should still change them.

Last updated 21 September 2026

If you know the role but not which tests measure it, start here. Get help choosing on the first builder step opens a searchable catalogue of job roles, each with a suggested set of tests.

Finding your role in the catalogue

Type the job title. The catalogue matches on title and on role family, so searching for a title close to yours usually finds something workable even when your exact wording is not there.

The role template search, with a search field and matching role cards showing each role's family, suggested test count and total duration.

Each card shows the role, its family, how many tests it suggests and how long they take together. Open one to see the tests it proposes.

A selected role template showing its suggested tests, each with a short reason for the suggestion.

What the suggestions are, and are not

They are a starting point put together from the demands the role usually has. They are not a validated battery for your specific job, and picking a template does not mean the tests predict performance in your company. Nothing in the product claims that, and neither should you when you explain the process to candidates.

Treat the template as a first draft by someone who knows the test library and does not know your role.

Changing the tests a template suggests

The next step is the ordinary test-choosing step, with the template's tests already selected. Add anything the role needs that the template missed, and remove anything that does not earn its place. A suggestion you keep because it was suggested is a test your candidates sit for no reason.

Two changes worth considering every time:

The assessment name a template gives you

The role title becomes the assessment name automatically. You can rename it on the Review step, and it is worth doing if you run the same role more than once.

If role suggestions are unavailable

Occasionally the catalogue does not load and the builder says so, then drops you into choosing tests yourself. Everything else works normally; try the template route again later if you want it.
