Understanding the results of the evaluations

After a talent completes an assessment, Coodesh provides a set of information to help the reviewer interpret their performance in full, beyond the final score.

The assessment overview screen

When you go to Assessments and click the name of the assessment you want, you land on its overview page, with the Results tab selected by default.

The header shows the assessment's metadata: number of sections, total duration, language, owner, status tags, creation date, and last update date. A button lets you invite new talents directly from there.

Right below, a set of cards summarizes the aggregated performance of all talents who have completed the assessment:

  • Total results: the sum of submissions, not counting retakes.

  • Average score: the overall average across the unique results of the completed assessments.

  • Average response time: the average time across unique responses.

Next to the cards, the chart plots the number of submissions over the last 6 months, broken down by day or month, so you can see the time distribution and volume of results over the period.

Below that, the results table lists every participating talent, with score, suspicious activity level, number of pauses, invited date, completed date, and the following columns:

  • Manage stage: lets you set which stage of the selection process the talent is currently in (for example, reviewing, rejected, withdrawn, among others).

  • Tags: shows the tags configured when the assessment was created, used to track information such as the talent's source (for example, LinkedIn, Coodesh).

  • Actions: a menu with additional actions available for that row.

The tab navigation gives access to other information related to the same assessment:

  • Invites: a list of everyone invited to take the assessment, including those who haven't started or finished yet — useful for tracking who still needs to respond.

  • Feedback: comments and ratings that talents themselves provide about their experience after completing the assessment.

  • Resources: gathers the notes talents leave about a specific question in the assessment, such as a reported error or another relevant observation.

  • Sections: the configuration of the sections that make up the assessment.

How to access a talent's individual result

In the results table, click the talent's name to open their individual result page, with the full breakdown of their performance on that assessment.

How to evaluate a talent

How the score is calculated

How each question is graded depends on its type and format, and the criteria used for grading are defined when the question is created:

  • Automatic grading: multiple-choice questionnaires and programming questions with test cases are scored automatically.

  • AI Automatic Review: Free Text, Project, Coding, and Free Coding questions can use this feature, as long as the grading criteria were configured when the question was created. See How to enable automatic review on a question.

  • Manual review: File questions (as well as audio, video, and whiteboard) don't support any type of automatic grading and are always reviewed manually. The same applies to any question of a compatible type that was created without the automatic review criteria configured.

  • Soft Skills: this question type doesn't generate a score.

While a question is pending manual review, it isn't included in the score calculation. Once it's graded, the question's score becomes part of the section's score, and the assessment's overall score is calculated as a weighted average of the results of each section, based on the weight configured for each one when the assessment was created.

Assessments with a result above 75% entitle the professional to a certificate.

The individual result panel

When you open a specific talent's result, the following sections are available:

  • Talent information: shows identification data and participation history — how the talent was invited, the invite date/time, the completion date/time, and the total time spent taking the assessment.

  • Score: shows the overall percentage of correct answers and the fraction of correct answers out of the total number of questions, calculated as explained above.

  • Suspicious activities: summarizes signs of possible integrity violations detected during the assessment (proctoring), assigning an overall risk level (low, medium, or high) and detailing the count of occurrences by behavior type — copy/paste, out of window, screen resizing, tab switching, gaze diversion, exiting full screen, covered camera, DevTools use, covered face, and others.

  • Action plan: an area with automatic recommendations generated from the talent's integrity and performance data. When there are no relevant signals, the message "No recommendations found" is shown.

  • Integrity: breaks down, item by item, the information behind the suspicious activities indicator — device used, browser, last location, number of monitors detected, number of pauses, whether the talent exited full-screen mode, whether they left the navigation tab, whether they changed window focus, whether they used more than one IP address, whether copy/paste was detected, and whether text was entered without pasting (which can indicate typing sourced from elsewhere).

  • Sections: shows how the assessment was split into blocks, each with its own content type, estimated time, and configured weight. For each section, the score obtained, the time taken, the status (passed or failed, based on the defined minimum criteria), and an action to view the detail are shown.

  • Score Distribution by Skill: shows the talent's performance broken down by skill, reflecting the skills linked to each question when the assessment content was created. Since each question can be linked to one or more skills, this table lets you identify which specific competencies the talent performed better or worse in, beyond the overall score.

  • Notes: an editable field, with a rich text editor, used by the team to document impressions and analysis about the talent's data and profile. You can mention a team member who has access permission to the results by typing "@" followed by their name, drawing their attention to that specific comment. After writing, click Add to save — this content is internal and isn't visible to the talent. More details in Notes and mentions in assessment results.

  • Image monitoring: shows the periodic photos captured by the webcam during the assessment, used to confirm the same person participated from start to finish.

  • Timeline: chronologically logs the events that occurred during the assessment (granting access to integrity resources, starting the assessment, supervision captures, starting sections and questions, among others), flagging points of attention with yellow or red markers, depending on the severity of the event.

  • Navigation recording: provides the screen recording of the talent during the assessment, with markers on the progress bar indicating the moments of interest identified in the timeline.

Additional information

You can also check complementary data about the talent's participation, such as invite date, challenge completion date, number of questions solved, the duration of each question individually, and the total time of the assessment package.
