What Is a Custom Skills Test?

A Custom Skills Test is a flexible, job-specific assessment designed to evaluate the real abilities candidates need to succeed in your role—built entirely by you.

Discovered’s Custom Skills Test Builder gives you full control over what to test and how to test it. Instead of relying on generic, one-size-fits-all assessments, you can create targeted evaluations that reflect your actual job tasks, tools, and expectations.

For example, whether you're hiring for...

Two candidates might have the same resume, but only one can solve a real customer issue or write a bug-free line of code.

A custom test helps you identify the one who’s truly ready to hit the ground running—before the interview even starts.

Why Custom Skills Tests Matter in Hiring

Every role is different. Off-the-shelf tests can’t capture the unique demands of your company, culture, or workflows.

That’s why Discovered gives you the tools to design custom assessments aligned with your specific hiring needs—so you can identify top performers before they even walk through the door.
