Skills assessment

Test what they can do — not what the resume claims.

Resumes are claims. 5Profiler’s skills assessments make candidates demonstrate — real subject batteries, workplace English measured adaptively, and expert-keyed judgment scenarios — then resolve the evidence against your role.

Perform · Fit · Stay

One sitting. Three answers. Evidence attached.

Six instruments resolve into five fits against your role, and three answers your panel can act on — will they perform, will they fit, will they stay.

Demonstrated, not claimed

Skills measured the way work happens

Knowledge tests show what they know today; judgment scenarios show what they’ll do with it. You need both, and they’re different instruments.

  • Subject batteries — engineering and computing streams, commerce, workplace English and hard quant — role-relevant depth.
  • Adaptive delivery — strong candidates aren’t bored, nobody is buried — and forms don’t leak.
  • Expert-keyed judgment — scenarios scored on what effective people actually do, not self-description.
  • One evidence scale — skills scores resolve with behaviour and values into a single candidate view.
Worked example

Skills in context

Two backend candidates tie at 80 on domain knowledge. One scores 85 on applied judgment and ranks trade-offs cleanly under pressure; the other scores 58 and defers every conflict. The skills tie broke — the answer, and the reasoning, are on the report.

Before you ask

Questions we always get

Do you test coding?

An in-browser coding environment with difficulty ladders is part of the suite; execution-scored tiers are rolling out now. Subject and judgment batteries are fully live.

Can we upload our own question banks?

Yes — author or import your own items at scale, with automated quality checks before anything goes live, in your own private bank.

How is this different from a quiz tool?

Quiz tools score recall. 5Profiler measures constructs — adaptively, against your role, with integrity verification and a defensible report per candidate.
