Use questions when questions are enough. Use real work when the job demands more. Combine both in the same assessment.
The structured testing workflow you'd expect from a modern assessment platform.
Candidates complete practical tasks using their own professional tools.
File types and size limits are covered in the FAQ.
Invitations, files, scores, and reviewer notes end up scattered across email and spreadsheets, with no single record of what was evaluated. Evalynq keeps it in three steps.
Combine online questions with a practical task, reference files, and clear scoring criteria — drafts are free.
Request activation, complete payment verification, and go live once approved — ready for candidate invitations.
Invite candidates, review their submitted work against the same criteria, and make every hiring decision as a person.
Readiness checks — identity, camera, and room scan where required — happen before the timer starts. Answers save automatically with a visible status, and a candidate gets a clear confirmation once their submission succeeds.
Read the candidate guide →Every practical exercise carries a reusable rubric — each criterion worth a fixed number of points, never a vague scale. More than one reviewer can score independently, and reviewers also see the assessment's factual event timeline for context. A reviewer can ask AI to suggest a score on a written answer, shown beside their own judgment — never saved until a person confirms it. Once you've decided who moves forward, shortlist them and send an interview invitation with a date, time, and location straight from the same page — Evalynq emails the candidate and logs it to your audit history.
Score, rubric detail, and an integrity summary in a single document a hiring manager can act on without dashboard access — on plans that include it. The candidate's own certificate is always available once results are released, on every plan.

Suitable for
Link client organizations to your workspace for rollup usage reporting. Each client stays fully separate — its own team, its own data.
Timing, authorization, and answer locking are enforced on the server. Monitoring stays advisory, and AI only ever assists a reviewer's own judgment — a person makes every scoring and hiring decision.

Human-controlled evaluation — nothing is auto-scored into a decision
Account setup and draft assessments are free. Live assessment capacity requires verified payment and manual activation, unless a platform administrator explicitly grants an Early Access trial.
Yes — a single assessment can mix multiple-choice or written questions with a practical work-sample task, scored together.
No. Candidates sign in with a one-time secure link sent to the email address they were invited with — no password or account to create. See the candidate guide.
Only if a practical task calls for it, and only their own existing copy — Evalynq doesn't provide, install, or integrate with any third-party software. A purely online assessment never requires anything beyond a browser.
Reference materials an admin attaches for candidates accept CSV, Excel, PDF, Word, text, image, or zip files, up to 20 MB. What a candidate submits back is validated separately: image, PDF, Excel, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, or a zipped Shapefile, up to 10 MB by default (Evalynq can raise this for eligible organizations).
Candidate starts are charged only after a candidate completes readiness checks and creates an attempt; sending or opening an invitation is free. Paid starts do not expire. To run a live assessment, submit payment proof for verification; once confirmed, the assessment is activated and ready for invitations. Eligible organizations may instead receive a one-time Early Access grant from an administrator. See full pricing.
Yes. Practical exercises support independent scoring from more than one reviewer against the same rubric — a second opinion is never a re-do, and reviewers are never averaged: whichever review was submitted most recently is the one recorded.
Yes. Once a candidate is explicitly shortlisted — always a human decision with a required rationale, never computed automatically from the score — send them an interview invitation with a date, time, and location directly from their results page. Evalynq emails the candidate and records every send in your audit history. This is never billed.
An organization chooses, per assessment, whether webcam snapshots or screen-share capture are required. Candidates see what's required and give explicit, separate consent before it starts — never silently enabled. See our Proctoring Consent Policy.
A candidate only ever sees their score or certificate after a staff member explicitly releases it. Every assessment includes that candidate-facing certificate. A separate, shareable reviewer report PDF is available on eligible plans and as part of a Managed Assessment engagement — see pricing.
Retention is configurable per assessment (30 days by default) and enforced automatically — files are deleted from storage, not just hidden from view. See our Privacy Policy.
Build drafts for free. When you're ready to run a live assessment, request activation, complete payment verification, and go live once approved. Eligible organizations may instead receive a one-time Early Access grant.
