How to Initiate a Test

Select the Candidate

Find and select the candidate by clicking on the checkbox next to their name in the List View.

Access the Action Center

Once the candidate is selected, the “Initiate Test” button becomes active in the Action Center on the right-hand side of the screen.

Click Initiate Test

Click the “Initiate Test” button to launch the assessment wizard in a pop-up screen.

Choose Assessment Method

Select one of two options:

Select from an existing assessment - Choose from previously created assessments
Create with AI - Generate a new assessment using AI

Configure and Review

Depending on your choice in the previous step:

For existing assessments: Select the desired assessment, review questions, and proceed
For AI-generated assessments: Define topics, difficulty level, test duration, and question types

Send the Assessment

After reviewing all details, click “Send Test” to dispatch the assessment to the candidate.

Upon sending an assessment, the candidate is automatically moved to the corresponding assessment stage in the pipeline.

Creating an Assessment with AI

If you choose to create a new assessment with AI, the platform guides you through a step-by-step wizard to customize your assessment:

Step 1: Initiate the AI Assessment Creation

After selecting “Create with AI” in the assessment wizard and clicking “Next Step,” you’ll be presented with the AI assessment creation interface.

Step 2: Configure Assessment Parameters

Define Topics

The platform pre-populates skill sets relevant to the job requisition
You can select from these suggested topics or add custom ones
For custom topics, simply type in the skills you want to assess (e.g., “strategy”)
You can use natural language to describe what you want to assess, such as “I want to gauge the candidate on specific aspects”

Set Difficulty Level

Choose from three options:
- Basic: For entry-level assessments
- Intermediate: For mid-level positions
- Advanced: For senior or specialized roles
This setting determines the complexity of questions generated

Define Test Duration

Select from predefined options:
- 30 minutes
- 60 minutes
- 90 minutes
The platform will adjust question length and quantity based on your selection

Select Language

Currently set to English by default
This defines the language in which questions will be generated

Customize Question Types

Click on “Add Question Type” to specify the format and quantity
For each question type, set the desired quantity:
- Text-based questions: Free-form responses
- Multiple-choice questions: Select from options
- Audio questions: Verbal responses
- Coding questions: Technical challenges
Example configuration:
- 5 text-based questions
- 2 multiple-choice questions
- 1 audio question

Step 3: Generate Questions

After configuring your parameters, click the “Generate” button to create your assessment. The AI will process your requirements and create a tailored set of questions based on your specifications.

The AI generation process takes only a few seconds to create a complete assessment with all specified question types.

Step 4: Review and Customize Generated Questions

Once generated, you can:

Review each question individually
Delete unwanted questions by clicking the delete icon
Duplicate questions by clicking the duplicate icon and making modifications
Manually add additional questions by clicking “Add a Question”
Regenerate the entire assessment by clicking “Regenerate” if needed

Step 5: Name Your Assessment

Before proceeding, you must provide a name for your assessment:

Enter a descriptive name in the “Enter Assessment Name” field (e.g., “Preliminary Assessment Round”)
The name you provide will appear in the email sent to candidates, so choose a professional and clear title

Once an assessment has been sent to even a single candidate, it becomes uneditable. You can, however, always create a new assessment with full editing capabilities.

Before sending an assessment, you can use two powerful preview options:

Candidate Experience Preview

This feature lets you see exactly how the assessment will appear to candidates:

Click the “Preview” button in the review screen
A new tab opens with a mock version of the assessment
You can walk through the entire candidate experience including:
- The instructions screen
- Camera preview for proctoring
- All questions as they will appear to candidates
This preview is for demonstration purposes only – no data is saved

Shareable Assessment Preview

To get feedback from colleagues before sending:

Click the “Share Preview” button
A shareable link is automatically copied to your clipboard
Share this link with team members who need to review the assessment
Recipients can view the complete assessment without affecting the original

The preview feature allows you to experience the assessment exactly as candidates will, though no data is saved during preview mode.

Mopid supports various question types to comprehensively evaluate candidates:

Question Type	Description

You’ll receive notifications when candidates complete their assessments
Test results and detailed responses are automatically added to the candidate’s profile

Reviewing Test Results
