Practo is to healthcare what Uber is to transport. The tech infrastructure to operate in a critical space as healthcare calls on for a skilled team of engineers. Read on to find out how they implemented Equip's assessments.
The Remedy of Blended Assessments
Team Practo created 23 assessments to fill in several developer positions such as Backend, Java, Software, UI, and Android. They also conducted assessments for internships and Business Analysts.
They used Quizzes and Programming tests, some of which were Custom Tests with their questions, and the others from Equip's Question Banks. Within a single assessment, they could conduct multiple tests for MCQs and coding questions.
With an average duration of 90 minutes per assessment, Practo shortlisted 11.74% candidates of the thousands who applied to these positions.
These assessments were conducted remotely which allowed the hiring team to cast their talent acquisition net far and wide across the college campuses of IIT Roorkee, IIT Jodhpur, NIT Delhi, SRM University and more.
Skill Diagnosis
The skills assessed were Java, Spring Boot, Kotlin, SQL, Python, C++, JavaScript, Microsoft Excel, and Aptitude.
A Joint Operation by the Recruiters and Tech Teams
A classic challenge with tech hiring is the recruiters' dependency on the tech teams for their technical know-how, approvals and assessments. That is exactly why Equip offers role-based assessments with ready to use Question Banks. The HRs, a team of three, created the account and handled the operational side of inviting candidates independently. Using the Invite Members feature, they invited all the relevant tech team members to vet the questions for the assessment.
