Multiple choice exams

MeritFinder generates a multiple choice exam with conceptual and technical questions tailored to the job’s required skills, backed by optional identity verification and online proctoring.

Overview

Static question banks test what a candidate memorized, not what a role actually needs. MeritFinder writes a new exam for every job, built directly from the skills the employer listed, then protects its integrity with verification and proctoring.

How it works

Identity verification

An optional identity check runs before the exam starts, adding trust without slowing candidates down.

Question generation

MeritFinder generates technical and general questions, matched fresh to the skills each role requires.

Online proctoring

Proctoring tools monitor the exam in real time to protect its integrity and catch irregular behavior.

Scoring and analysis

Answers are scored and analyzed automatically, with results appearing on the employer’s job dashboard.

Why it matters

Questions are written fresh for every role instead of pulled from a static library, so results reflect the skills the job actually needs, and proctoring means those results can be trusted.

What MeritFinder evaluates

Correctness of each answer against the required skill
Overall technical and conceptual competency for the role
Consistency and integrity of the exam session

Exam integrity and proctoring

Proctoring flags irregular behavior during the exam, such as switching windows or unexpected pauses, so employers can trust the results without watching every session themselves.

Benefits and time savings

One exam covers what would otherwise take a full technical screening call, freeing recruiters and hiring managers from screening candidates manually one by one.
