# Skills tests an AI agent sends and marks: AI Hiring Software

**Answer in brief:** Send shortlisted applicants a short test, let the questions score themselves, and mark the written answers with the agent.


## Writing the test

A Conecto skills test has questions scored on their own and written answers to mark, with a time limit and shuffling.[1]

## Reading the results

The results show each answer against the expected one, the answers still to mark, the time taken and how often the candidate left the page.[1]

## Keep it short

Test the two or three skills the job needs most. A short test is easier to finish and easier to mark fairly.
