"Finally, there is some good news for companies that want better and more accurate assessment of candidates during pre-hire screening. For the first time in the world, now candidates can be screened through descriptive (essay type) questions in online skill tests apart from the usual MCQ (Multiple Choice) and True or False questions," said Amit Mishra, Founder and CEO of Interview Mocha.

"Today, lots of companies use online skill tests, to introduce element of objectivity in their screening process. But as they demand higher predictability of job performance, the usual MCQ based tests start to appear insufficient. Written responses reduce the chances of guesswork and thus produce more precise results. However, evaluating written answers online was a challenge that is taken up for the first time by an online skill testing company."

"Our customers include small office companies to fortune 500 companies from over 40 countries across the globe. We strive to provide latest & quality online skill tests to our customers and with the use of our descriptive simulator, our clients will get precise and decisive reports that are more relevant than ever," he said.

The key to success for a fast growing startup is: "to keep innovating for the benefit of the world" and that's what Interview Mocha is doing. "The Descriptive assessment engine is an innovation that will take pre-employment skill testing to the next level, as Amit Mishra (CEO, Interview Mocha) proudly calls it 'Pre-employment skill testing 2.0'"

"Interview Mocha conducted a demonstration of descriptive test simulator by testing 200 C# programmers twice, with and without the use of descriptive questions. The test results revealed that there was an improvement of 22% in precision when the candidates were tested using descriptive simulator, which was not at all surprising," Sujit Karpe, Test Practice Head of Interview Mocha elaborated further.

Technology is evolving at fast pace and there is no reason why pre-employment testing should stay behind, where online skills tests are widely accepted as a default screening mechanism, Interview Mocha's descriptive test simulator will bring more objectivity and fairness to the process.

"The Descriptive assessment simulator can also prove to be very useful tool for speeding up educational assessments and employee training assessments," - said Amit Mishra. He told us that some of the leading education & training institutes have also approached them for the use of descriptive assessment engine."

"Don't rely on MCQ based skill tests alone because of the guesswork involved. For better and accurate skills assessment, try descriptive test simulator to evaluate candidates through written answers online. This feature is currently in private beta, so please write to [email protected] to use descriptive tests. We would love to hear the feedback and suggestions in order to improve further," he urged.
