How It Works

Remote pre-screen, then a live manager session.
No accounts needed. Results land the moment they submit.

  • Build the AssessmentSelect discipline, techniques, difficulty, and time limit. Mix disciplines for a broader evaluation.
  • Send One LinkOne link sent to every shortlisted candidate. Each receives a different randomised problem set. Link expires when you close the assessment.
  • Review Results InstantlyDashboard ranks candidates by score, time on task, and reasoning quality. Ready to share with your panel the moment submissions arrive.
  • Shortlist from Round 1Pick top candidates from the ranked dashboard. All reasoning breakdowns carry over.
  • Same Format, Your ProblemsCandidates solve problems built around your company's methods, instruments, and specifications over Teams or Google Meet.
  • Confident DecisionEvery step is auto-saved. Full session history available for review, debrief, or compliance records.
  • No Account NeededClick the link and enter a name. No account, no app, no download required.
  • Interactive DataWork through interactive instrument data with hover, zoom, and peak markers.
  • Open ReferenceReference sheets available where relevant. No prep materials to memorise.
  • Scored on JudgmentReasoning scored against a discipline-specific rubric, not keyword matching or MCQ.
  • Unique Problem SetEach candidate receives a unique problem set generated fresh at session start.

Disciplines We Assess

Problems are built for scientists who have already been trained. We test judgment and interpretation, not memorisation.

  • HPLCSystem suitability judgment, integration errors, blank contamination, column degradation, impurity identification.
  • NMRPeak assignment, solvent vs impurity distinction, unknown compound identification, structural confirmation.
  • Mass SpectrometryMolecular ion identification, fragmentation patterns, isotope interpretation, adduct vs fragment recognition.
  • FT-IRIdentity confirmation, contamination detection, functional group analysis, polymorph distinction.
  • GCRetention time identification, peak area quantification, solvent residue analysis, headspace interpretation, and method suitability assessment.
  • UV-VisAbsorbance spectrum interpretation, Beer-Lambert application, purity assessment, concentration determination, and chromophore identification.
  • SDS-PAGEBand identification, MW estimation from ladder, purity assessment, aggregate detection, overloaded lane interpretation.
  • SEC-HPLCMonomer/aggregate/fragment percentage, shoulder peak recognition, spec compliance decisions.
  • qPCRAmplification curve analysis, standard curve validation, NTC contamination, melt curve interpretation.
  • Flow CytometryGating strategy, population identification, CAR-T phenotyping, transduction efficiency calculation.
  • ELISA4PL curve validation, hook effect detection, CV acceptance criteria, relative potency calculation.
