Stop reading 200 CVs to find the 10 people worth calling

A CV tells you where someone has been. A short, well-built test tells you what they can do today.

CVs don't show skills

Test the knowledge the job actually needs — before the first interview, not after the third.

Phone screens eat your week

Every applicant takes the same test on their own time. You open a ranked list instead of a calendar.

Gut feeling isn't fair

Same questions, same timer, same answer key for everyone. Decisions you can explain to anyone.

From job opening to shortlist in four steps

No setup project, no training. If you can write a job post, you can run a screening test.

  1. Pick the role

    Choose from 22 job fields and 130+ roles, set the test language and the template type.

  2. Build the test

    Add questions from the bank or write your own. Set timers, a passing score and question shuffling.

  3. Share one link

    Every test gets a unique link, a QR code and its own email address. Post it anywhere candidates look.

  4. Hire from a ranked list

    Answers are scored the moment a candidate finishes. See score, result, time spent and integrity side by side.

Everything you need to screen candidates at scale

One place to create tests, collect applicants and decide who moves forward.

Question bank by role

Ready-made questions organised by job field and role, so a new test starts filled, not blank.

Your own questions

Add company-specific questions next to ours: single and multiple choice, yes/no, text, number and date answers.

Flexible timing

Time the whole test, each section or each question — or leave it untimed for thoughtful answers.

Clear passing rules

Pass on a percentage, on a number of correct answers, or only when everything is right.

Link, QR code and email

Share on job boards, print the QR code on a poster, or let candidates email the test address and get the link back automatically.

Instant scoring

Results land in your applications list the second a test is finished. No manual grading of closed questions.

Integrity score

Tab switches, copy-paste and impossible answer speeds are logged and summarised for every attempt.

Teams and companies

Invite colleagues with role-based access. Agencies can run tests for several client companies from one account.

Anti-cheating

Know who took the test honestly

Hiro watches for the signals that matter while a candidate works — and explains them to you in plain words instead of silently rejecting anyone.

  • Leaving the tab or window, with how long and how often
  • Copy, paste and right-click attempts
  • Answers faster than a person can read the question
  • Switching device or network in the middle of an attempt
  • Strict mode: no text selection, full-screen with exit tracking

Hiro never blocks a candidate automatically. You see the flags and make the call.

Transparent scoring

Scoring you can explain to any candidate

Every point traces back to an answer key you can see. No black-box AI decides who gets hired — which keeps your process fair and easy to defend.

  • Deterministic, rule-based scoring
  • The same test and conditions for every applicant
  • Unanswered questions count, so shortcuts don't pay

Built for teams that hire often

From a first hire to hundreds of applicants a week.

Growing companies

Replace the first phone screen with a test and spend interview time only on people who can do the job.

Recruiting agencies

Manage several client companies from one account and send each client a shortlist backed by scores.

High-volume hiring

Retail, call centres, logistics and hospitality: a QR code on a poster turns walk-ins into scored applicants.

Screening tests for every role

22 job fields and more than 130 roles, from call centre operators to software engineers.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know before creating your first test.

What is a pre-employment screening test?

It is a short online test candidates take before the interview. It checks the knowledge and skills a role needs, so you can shortlist applicants on what they can do rather than on how their CV looks.

How much does Hiro cost?

You can start for free: every new account automatically gets one free test template, active for 15 days after you publish it. After that you buy a one-time package of templates — there is no subscription. Current prices are on the pricing page.

How do candidates take the test?

They open the link, scan the QR code or email the test address and get the link back. Nothing to install: the test works in any modern browser on a phone or computer.

Can candidates cheat?

Hiro records tab switches, copy-paste attempts, unusually fast answers and device changes during every attempt and turns them into an integrity score with clear explanations. Strict mode adds more barriers. You always make the final decision.

Does AI decide which candidates pass?

No. Scoring is deterministic: each answer is checked against an answer key and your passing rule. You can see exactly why a candidate got their score.

Can I add my own questions?

Yes. Mix questions from the bank with your own, including single and multiple choice, yes/no, free text, number and date answers.

Which languages are supported?

The platform and tests are available in English, Russian and Azerbaijani, so you can screen candidates in the language they work in.

How long does a test stay open?

After activation a test accepts candidates for 30 days, and you can close it earlier at any time. The dates are shown before you activate it.
