Online Test

An Online Test in Zoho Recruit is a digital assessment with auto-scoring, time limits, and randomised questions, with results attached to the candidate record and score-based pipeline automation.

An Online Test in Zoho Recruit is a digital assessment administered to candidates through the platform or an integrated testing tool. Zoho Recruit’s built-in test builder allows recruiters to create question banks, build timed tests, and automatically score objective responses.

Building Online Tests in Zoho Recruit

The Zoho Recruit test builder supports multiple question types: multiple choice, true or false, fill-in-the-blank, and descriptive questions. Recruiters can set time limits, randomise question order, and configure passing scores. Once the test is built, a link is generated and can be sent to candidates individually or in bulk via email from within Zoho Recruit.

Scoring and Result Review

Objective questions are scored automatically by Zoho Recruit. Descriptive answers require manual scoring by the recruiter or a subject matter expert. Test results are attached to the candidate record with the score, percentage, time taken, and individual question responses. Recruiters can set automatic pass or fail actions to trigger pipeline movements based on score thresholds.

Example: A software company in Pune builds a 30-question Java programming test in Zoho Recruit with a 45-minute time limit. Candidates who score above 60% are automatically advanced to the Interview Stage. Candidates below the threshold receive an automated rejection email with a thank-you note.
