Online skill eveluation

While we were publicizing , geekevaluation , one of the renowned person posed this question

1. There are plenty of LMSs out there with this functionality and more - what makes your special?

2. You say the user takes the test on their own (you email them the link). This is more or less useless unless the test is conducted in a proctored environment (anyone can look up answers online, or ask a friend)

A very genuine questions from customer perspective.

My reply was
we are different in sense that
a) we allow users to customize tests by selecting more than one topic so for eg you want to hire a Sr programmer with skills in Java, Oracle and AJAX. You can create a test by combining these three topics and defining hwo many questions are required in each topic.
b) You can create your own tests and that would cost 75% less.
c) Talking about content , our question bank on technical topics is something which you might not find with others as we had designed questions based on practical experience , not just concept.

These 3 features are a big plus and differentiate us.

Yes it is true that the candidate can search for answers and call a friend. To tackle this

1.For now we disabled copy/paste so that user cannot do googling. In programming questions, it is difficult to call up some one , explain the code and get the answer. The shortest was to do is copy paste , find answer in google or run the code your self.
Disabling copy paste would solve some of these issues.
2.We had thought of proctored environment but that would be sometimes in future.
3.We are also thinking of tracking IP address to at least ensure that the candidate had taken the test from the city in which he resides.

And let us not forget that this is just the elimination , not the selection criteria
