In this article, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about Canditech's AI Assessment Builder, including:
What Is the AI Assessment Builder?
Canditech's AI Assessment Builder is the fastest and most guided way to create a role-specific assessment.
Simply provide a job title and description, and the AI Builder will recommend an assessment tailored to your hiring needs, using relevant sections from Canditech's Test Library and generating custom content where needed.
You can review the suggested assessment structure, request adjustments, and customize the final assessment before sending it to candidates.
How Do You Create an Assessment Using the AI Assessment Builder?
Follow the steps below to create a customized assessment using Canditech's AI Assessment Builder.
Step 1: Open the AI Assessment Builder
From your Assessment Tab, click Create Assessment with AI to launch the AI Assessment Builder.
The builder will guide you through the process of defining the role, identifying the skills to evaluate, and creating a recommended assessment.
Step 2: Select the Role You're Hiring For
Choose one of the suggested roles or enter a custom role name.
This helps the AI Builder understand the type of position you're hiring for and begin tailoring its recommendations accordingly.
Step 3: Provide the Job Description and Role Requirements
Next, provide additional information about the position so the AI Builder can better understand your hiring needs.
You can do this in several ways:
Job description URL: Paste a link to the job description.
Full job description: Copy and paste the job description directly into the chat.
Role summary: Enter a brief description of the position, including its key responsibilities and required skills.
The more detail you provide, the more accurately the builder can tailor the assessment to the role.
Step 4: Review and Confirm the Role Requirements
Based on the information you provide, the AI Builder will summarize its understanding of the role and its requirements.
Review this summary carefully to ensure it accurately reflects the position you're hiring for.
If anything is missing or needs to be adjusted, you can provide additional instructions directly in the chat.
Once you're satisfied with the summary, reply "Looks good" to proceed with generating the recommended assessment structure.
Step 5: Review and Customize the Recommended Assessment
The AI Builder will recommend an assessment tailored to the role, using relevant sections from Canditech's Test Library and suggesting newly generated content where needed.
The recommendation includes:
Assessment sections: The skills and competencies that will be evaluated.
Question types: The types of questions or exercises included in the suggested sections.
Estimated completion time: The approximate time candidates will need to complete the assessment.
Review the proposed structure to ensure it aligns with your hiring requirements.
You can request changes directly in the chat, such as adjusting the skills being evaluated, modifying the suggested sections, or refining the assessment's scope.
The AI Builder will update its recommendations based on your feedback, allowing you to refine the assessment before approving it.
Step 6: Approve Your Assessment
Once you're satisfied with the recommended assessment, approve it in the chat.
Depending on whether your assessment uses existing Library sections or includes newly AI-generated content, it will either be available immediately or generated in the background.
The next section explains what happens after approval and how to access your completed assessment.

Assessments Using Existing Library Sections
If all recommended sections come from Canditech's Test Library, your assessment will be available immediately.
Click See in Assessment Builder to open the assessment, where you can review and customize its content before sending it to candidates.
Note: Before the assessment opens, a We are almost done feedback window will appear, asking you to rate your experience with the AI Builder. You can submit your feedback or close the window to continue.
Assessments Including Newly AI-Generated Sections
If your assessment includes one or more newly AI-generated sections, the AI Builder will create the assessment in the background.
Once you approve the assessment, you'll see a You're all set! confirmation message.
Assessment generation typically takes around 45 minutes.
Click Back to Assessments Page to return to your assessments.
You can continue working in Canditech while your assessment is being generated.
You'll receive an email notification once the generation process is complete.
What Emails Does the AI Assessment Builder Send?
When your assessment includes newly AI-generated sections, Canditech will send an email to the address associated with your account once the generation process is complete.
Depending on the outcome, you'll receive one of the following notifications:

Email subject: Your AI-Generated Assessment for '[role]' Is Ready!
This email confirms that your assessment has been successfully created and is available in your Assessment Tab.
Click View Assessment in the email to open it directly in the Assessment Builder, where you can review and customize its content.

Our Support team is automatically notified of the issue and will reach out to assist you.
Important: Your account must have an available assessment slot under your subscription plan's assessment limit. If you've reached your limit when generation finishes, the assessment cannot be created, and you'll receive the unsuccessful generation email.
How Do You Review an AI-Generated Assessment?
Once your assessment is ready, you can open it from your Assessment Tab or directly from the confirmation email.
Identifying AI-Generated Content

Hovering over the AI Generated tag displays the following message:
