			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While we were publicizing , <a href="http://www.geekevaluation.com/">geekevaluation </a>, one of the renowned person posed this question</p>
<p><span style="color: #336666">1. There are plenty of LMSs out there with this functionality and more &#8211; what makes your special?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #336666">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)</span></p>
<p>A very genuine questions from customer perspective.</p>
<p>My reply was<br />
we are different in sense that<br />
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.<br />
b) You can create your own tests and that would cost 75% less.<br />
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.</p>
<p>These 3 features are a big plus and differentiate us.</p>
<p>Yes it is true that the candidate can search for answers and call a friend. To tackle this</p>
<p>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.<br />
Disabling copy paste would solve some of these issues.<br />
2.We had thought of proctored environment but that would be sometimes in future.<br />
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.</p>
<p>And let us not forget that this is just the elimination , not the selection criteria</p>
<p>Please<a href="http://www.ryze.com/posttopic.php?topicid=1028673&amp;confid=366"> click here</a> to follow the conversation</p>
