Test candidates on core SAS Hiring Test topics

Message Queues: Message Queues are a form of asynchronous communication where messages are sent between applications or services. They serve as a buffer, allowing applications to communicate without requiring immediate responses. Measuring this skill in the test helps assess the candidate's understanding of handling asynchronous communication and designing robust and scalable systems.

Dimensions: In the context of data analysis, dimensions refer to the attributes or variables that describe the characteristics of data. Measuring this skill in the test allows recruiters to evaluate a candidate's ability to analyze and interpret data using various dimensions, such as time, location, and product categories.

Sorting Difficult: Sorting Difficult refers to the challenges faced while implementing sorting algorithms. It assesses a candidate's knowledge and understanding of different sorting techniques and their efficiency in terms of time and space complexity. Measuring this skill helps evaluate a candidate's problem-solving abilities and algorithmic thinking.

SAS metadata server: The SAS metadata server is a centralized repository that stores and manages metadata, such as definitions, configuration settings, and security information, for SAS applications and solutions. Measuring this skill in the test enables recruiters to assess a candidate's expertise in working with SAS metadata server, which is crucial for effective management and organization of SAS resources.

Job Status Manager: The Job Status Manager is a component of SAS that enables monitoring and tracking the execution status of scheduled jobs or processes. This skill measures a candidate's proficiency in utilizing the Job Status Manager to monitor job execution, troubleshoot issues, and ensure smooth workflow management.

Data Integration: Data Integration involves merging and consolidating data from multiple sources into a unified view. Measuring this skill in the test allows recruiters to assess a candidate's ability to integrate and transform data, ensuring data quality and consistency across various systems and applications.

Registering Tables and Cubes: Registering Tables and Cubes involves defining metadata for data tables and multidimensional cubes within SAS. Measuring this skill helps evaluate a candidate's proficiency in registering and managing data assets, enabling efficient data discovery, access, and analysis.

Application starting: Application starting refers to the process of initializing and launching an application. Measuring this skill in the test helps assess a candidate's understanding of application lifecycle, startup processes, and dependencies, ensuring smooth and efficient application execution.

How to use the SAS Test in my hiring process?

Use the SAS Test as a pre-screening tool at the beginning of your recruitment process. Add a link to the assessment in your job post or invite candidates via email. This helps identify skilled candidates early.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.
