What Prequel Lens Delivers
Custom‑Built Assessments Aligned to Your Roles
We don’t use generic tests. Each assessment is crafted based on your job descriptions, intake meeting notes, and technical priorities, so candidates are evaluated against the actual work they’ll do.
Real‑World Technical Tasks
Candidates complete assignments that mimic real scenarios—such as debugging, optimizing, or enhancing a codebase—so you can see how they think and solve.
Interactive & Adaptive Testing
The testing engine responds to candidate inputs in real time, challenging stronger candidates more deeply and creating a more natural flow of problem-solving.
Insightful Scorecards
See how candidates think, not just what they got right. Scorecards include action‑by‑action code tracking, showing how solutions were developed and refined.
Faster, More Accurate Hiring
Prequel Lens cuts through noise early—helping you prioritize top performers and streamline the interview process.
Built‑In Integrity & Authenticity Checks
Each assessment includes an Integrity Report:
- Checks Identity & Session. Confirms candidate identity and session validity
- Checks Copy/Paste & Keystroke. Monitors paste activity and typing behavior for authenticity tracking
- Checks AI Misuse & Focus. Detects use of generative tools and flags when attention drifts away
- Checks Action Timeline. Logs every test action—navigation, code edits, pauses, and time stamps
