Previously, they had used HackerRank and Google Sheets to shortlist candidates and manage their pipeline.
Kartheek checked with his manager and team members. They evaluated Equip on four parameters:
1. Scheduling assessments: All recruiters using Equip can set the date and time for Cannot Before/Start in the Assessment Settings. This means that they can set a the specific duration within which all the students will attempt the assessment at the scheduled time for the campus hiring drive. $$=https://cdn-media-assets.socratease.co/equip/marketing/case-studies/section-images/eqp-assmnt-timer-setting.png$$
2. Gathering additional details: Equip can collect additional details from the candidate before they begin with their first test. This includes collecting phone number, LinkedIn URL, College Name, Graduation Year, Department and Work Experience (in years). All these details are available while viewing the assessment results so that you do not spend time switching between multiple applications to consolidate candidates' profiles before shortlisting them for interviews.

3. Combining Multiple Skills in a single test: Instead of sharing many tests for each skill, Equip's users combine multiple skills in a single test for well-rounded results and a smoother candidate experience. To hire for Business Analytics, Shadowfax used Equip's Question Banks for Business Metrics, SQL, Data Science and Python.
4. Writing Results to Google Sheets: With Write results to Google Sheets feature, it is easy to check the results of an assessment real-time as a candidate's result is written to the Google Sheet as soon as they complete each test in an assessment.
