Skills based assessment software that connects scores to evidence
SkillsValidator is skills assessment software for building validations, inviting candidates, reviewing skill evidence, and sharing decisions. Technical and non-technical roles use the same product. Your team sees what candidates submitted, how they explain their choices, and which rubric criteria support each score, with integrity concerns routed to human review.

Build
Build skills based assessment around the actual role
Skills based assessment starts with the work your next hire needs to perform. Enter the role, skills, seniority, and validation style to draft a rubric per skill and 3 to 6 tasks in minutes. Your team edits the draft before invitations, keeping the evaluation specific to the opening.
Choose Work sample when a role calls for a practical deliverable. Use Scenario decisions to examine judgment under realistic constraints. Choose Code task when implementation and technical reasoning matter.
-
Role and seniority inputs set the context for the tasks.
-
Editable tasks let reviewers remove irrelevant assumptions before candidates begin.
-
A rubric per skill defines observable evidence of good work.
-
Shared criteria support consistent review of candidates applying to the same role.
Follow the complete skills validation process from setup through the final hiring discussion.
Validate
Use candidate assessment software to check understanding
Candidate assessment software needs to show understanding as well as output. SkillsValidator combines timed work with explain-back questions generated from the candidate's own submission. Candidate links and invitations bring applicants into the role validation, while follow-up answers give reviewers evidence about the reasoning behind the submitted work.
A candidate who submits a persuasive customer response must explain the policy decision behind it. A candidate who repairs code must explain the change and its limitations. The follow-up gives your team something concrete to discuss when a finished answer looks convincing but does not yet show independent understanding.
-
Candidate links and invites connect applicants with the relevant role validation.
-
Timed tasks give the work a defined completion context.
-
Submission-specific questions test decisions made in the actual response.
-
Candidates never pay to participate in an employer's validation.
For engineering workflows, explore the technical assessment platform. For non-technical hiring, see pre hire assessment.
Customer issue resolution
StrongRubric
Acknowledges the customer's concern without blaming them
"I understand why this looks like a duplicate charge."
Separates a pending authorization from a settled charge
"The first entry is settled; the second is a pending authorization."
Checks the billing record before promising a remedy
"I checked the invoice and payment history."
Gives a specific next action without guaranteeing a bank outcome
"If both entries settle, reply here and I will escalate the duplicate payment for review."
Review
Review skills testing software signals with human judgment
Skills testing software signals help reviewers investigate activity that needs context. SkillsValidator collects paste events, typing rhythm, time-on-task anomalies, and similarity to known AI output. Basic or full signal access depends on the plan. Every flag goes to human review and never to automatic rejection of a candidate.
A paste event does not prove misconduct, and a pause does not establish a lack of skill. Review the signal alongside the task, the submitted work, and the explain-back response. Keep your permitted-tool policy clear and give candidates an appropriate opportunity to clarify relevant concerns before reaching a conclusion.
-
Starter includes basic integrity signals.
-
Growth includes full integrity signals.
-
Scale adds a review queue for organizing flagged work.
-
Enterprise supports custom rules for the organization's review process.

Decide
Make candidate evaluation software show its evidence
Candidate evaluation software should make the reason for a score visible. The Skills Report includes a score per skill, quoted evidence, rubric lines, and a recommendation band labeled strong, verify, or not shown. Compare candidates side by side on the same role and share the report as a PDF.
Read a rubric line and the supporting quotation together. An overall impression can hide a specific missing skill, while a clear explanation can reveal sound judgment behind an imperfect deliverable. The recommendation band helps organize the next review step. Your hiring team remains responsible for deciding whether to advance a candidate.
-
Per-skill scores show strengths and areas needing follow-up separately.
-
Quoted evidence connects the evaluation with submitted work and explanations.
-
Side-by-side comparison keeps the same role criteria in view.
-
Share links and PDF reports bring evidence into hiring discussions.
-
Branded reports are available from Growth, with white-label reports on Enterprise.
Use the same evidence-led approach for employee skills assessment when reviewing development needs or internal opportunities.

Team and security
Give your team a shared skills assessment platform
A skills assessment platform gives reviewers a common place to evaluate work against the role requirements. SkillsValidator provides team seats and plan-based access controls. Growth adds roles, Scale adds SSO and an audit log, and Enterprise adds SCIM and data residency for organizations with additional identity and security requirements.
Choose access around who needs to build validations, review evidence, and support decisions. Shared criteria help your team discuss the work rather than rely on separate impressions. Security features support account administration and accountability, while employers remain responsible for appropriate access, relevant tasks, accommodations, and the way results inform employment decisions.
-
Starter includes 1 seat for an individual hiring owner.
-
Growth includes 5 seats and roles for a hiring team.
-
Scale includes 20 seats, SSO, roles, and an audit log.
-
Enterprise includes unlimited seats, SCIM, data residency, a DPA, and an SLA of 99.9 percent.
The product supports job-related, consistent, documented evaluation. It does not provide legal certification or guarantee compliance with employment requirements.
Integrations and portable evidence
Connect evidence with your ATS and candidate profiles
SkillsValidator exports results to your ATS through the options included in your plan. Starter provides CSV, Growth adds webhook, and Scale provides API plus webhook. Candidates who pass can opt into a free, portable Verified Skills profile. Talent Pool search of those profiles is available on Scale and Enterprise.
Use exports to carry evidence into the workflow where your team manages hiring. Share links and PDF reports let colleagues inspect the evaluation without reducing the result to a score alone. Candidate profile participation is optional, and the hiring company pays for validation rather than asking candidates to buy access.
-
CSV supports a file-based handoff to your hiring workflow.
-
Webhook supports sending results into connected processes.
-
API access supports integrations on Scale.
-
Enterprise provides custom integrations.
-
Talent Pool search helps eligible teams discover opt-in Verified Skills profiles.
