Assessments

What assessments are and how they’re used to verify expertise.

​
What Assessments Are

An assessment shows your fit for a specific expert pool, and it’s one of the factors used to match you to projects in that domain.

​
How It Works

1

Choose a Pool

Your Assessments tab lists the expert pools currently open.
2

Take the Assessment

Each pool has one assessment, built to resemble real project work rather than an abstract multiple choice test.
3

Wait to Be Matched

You won’t see an explicit pass or fail after submitting. Projects are assigned based on assessment fit, so we’ll follow up if a relevant opportunity comes up.
Assessments cannot be retaken or reassessed. Submit with the same care you’d give real project work, since there’s only one attempt.

​
Frequently Asked Questions

This varies by pool. You’ll see a time estimate before you start, so you can plan around it.
Assessments are unpaid.
Yes. You’re welcome to take the assessment for any pool you’re interested in. Each pool is assessed independently, so a result from one pool doesn’t carry over to another.
We don’t send an explicit pass or fail notice. Not hearing back right away doesn’t mean anything went wrong. It usually just means there isn’t a matching project yet, and we’ll follow up as soon as one comes up for your pool.
A strong fit on a pool’s assessment makes you a great candidate for projects in that space. We connect contributors to projects as opportunities come up, so timing depends on current project needs.
