Custom AI Assessment — Tailored to the Role
Generate configurable multiple-choice questions from approved job context, with human review for relevance, accuracy, accessibility, and appropriate use.
What It Measures
## What a Custom AI Assessment Covers
HeyHRM can use an employer's job title, job description, and company name to generate a draft set of role-specific multiple-choice questions. The draft is created once during vacancy setup and reused for that assessment; generation does not run in the candidate flow or inspect a candidate's resume or application.
The useful output is an editable starting point for subject-matter review. A hiring team should confirm that every question relates to an essential duty, the keyed answer and distractors are reasonable, the difficulty is proportionate, and the language is accessible. Generated content should never be published without human review.
The assessment can sample knowledge and judgment that the employer chooses to include. It cannot establish culture fit, guarantee performance, or make a hiring decision.
How It Works
## How Custom Assessment Generation Works
1. **Define the job evidence.** Document the role's essential duties and the knowledge or judgment worth testing.
2. **Generate a draft.** HeyHRM creates a vacancy-level set of multiple-choice questions from the approved job context.
3. **Review and edit.** A qualified reviewer checks relevance, accuracy, difficulty, accessibility, duplication, and the answer key before any candidate sees the test.
4. **Configure the assessment.** The hiring team chooses the question count, question-level timing, selected skills, and passing score.
5. **Use one approved version consistently.** Comparable candidates should receive comparable instructions and content.
6. **Review results.** HeyHRM reports score percentage and performance by skill. An accountable human combines that evidence with structured interviews or other job-related methods.
AI assists with drafting assessment content. It does not score candidates with a generative model, write a candidate-specific narrative, rank applicants, or make the final decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a custom AI assessment?▾
It is a vacancy-level multiple-choice question set drafted from the employer's job title, job description, and company name, then reviewed and approved by the hiring team before use.
Why use AI-generated assessments for hiring?▾
AI can speed up first-draft question authoring. It does not remove the need for subject-matter review, validation, accessibility checks, or accountable human decision-making.
Are AI-generated assessments reliable?▾
Reliability and interpretation must be evaluated for the intended role and use. Review every generated question and answer key, administer the approved version consistently, and monitor outcomes over time.
What roles benefit most from custom AI assessments?▾
They may help when a role combines unusual responsibilities that a library test does not cover. Use only job-relevant content and have a qualified reviewer approve it.
Can custom AI tests be validated?▾
Evidence for structured selection methods does not automatically validate a particular assessment for every role. Document job relevance, use qualified subject-matter review, validate interpretation for the intended purpose, and monitor outcomes over time.
How long should a custom AI assessment be?▾
Question count, question-level timing, selected skills, and any passing score depend on the configured assessment. Review the live setup and give candidates an accurate expectation before they begin.
How does HeyHRM compare with HireVue or Testlify for custom assessment creation?▾
Compare current products directly on authoring controls, editability, scoring transparency, accessibility, validation evidence, security, integrations, and total cost. Verify vendor-specific details from current documentation.
Should candidates know the test was AI-generated?▾
Explain what the assessment measures, how results will be used, and how to request accommodations. Employers should also follow applicable disclosure and privacy requirements for their jurisdiction.
What should hiring teams review before publishing a generated test?▾
Review job relevance, factual accuracy, difficulty, duplication, readability, accessibility, answer keys, scoring consistency, privacy, and the intended interpretation.
Can AI assessments replace interviews?▾
No. AI assists with drafting questions during setup. Use the approved assessment as one source of evidence and keep structured interviews and accountable human review where they add relevant information.
