What are Qualifying Questions?
Qualifying questions are multiple-choice or true/false questions presented before the main assessment begins. These questions are used by employers to gather more information about candidates and determine if they meet the minimum requirements for a job.
These requirements might include:
Language proficiency.
The highest level of education completed.
Relevant certifications or licenses required for the job.
Key Features of Qualifying Questions
Maximum of 5 Questions: At most, there are five qualifying questions in an assessment.
No Time Limit: These questions are not timed, allowing candidates to respond thoughtfully.
Formats: Qualifying questions come in two formats:
True/False.
Multiple-Choice.
Why Do Employers Use Qualifying Questions?
Some roles require specific criteria that candidates must meet. Qualifying questions help employers quickly identify candidates who meet the essential requirements for a role, saving time for both the employer and the candidate.
By filtering candidates at the outset, these questions ensure that only those who meet the basic job requirements proceed to the main assessment.
Why Could I Not Complete the Assessment After Answering the Questions?
If you are unable to proceed with the assessment after answering the qualifying questions, it means one or more of your answers did not meet the employer's criteria, leading to disqualification.
If you believe there has been an error or you were disqualified unfairly, please contact the company that invited you to the assessment directly. Testlify does not have the authority to modify or override disqualification decisions.
What Happens If I Am Disqualified?
If disqualified:
The assessment will end immediately, saving you time.
