Overview
The candidate pre-test experience in WeCP is designed to prepare candidates calmly and clearly before they begin an assessment. The flow focuses on reducing anxiety, minimizing unnecessary steps, and ensuring required verification checks are completed without overwhelming the candidate.
This experience balances two goals:
Maintaining test integrity through verification and system checks
Creating a reassuring, human-first journey for candidates
Objective
The pre-test flow is designed to:
Reduce perceived effort before starting the test
Help candidates mentally prepare for the assessment
Introduce identity and liveness verification without increasing stress
Keep each step focused on a single, clear action
Candidates complete the entire pre-test flow in 3–4 steps, depending on the test configuration.
Pre-Test Flow Overview
Candidates move through the following steps before entering the test:
System Check (includes verification)
Greet Your Candidate (optional, appears only if enabled under “Candidate Experience”)
Personal Details
Test Guidelines
Enter Test
Note: Identity verification appears as a separate step and only if the test configuration requires it.
Each step is purposefully ordered to build confidence and readiness.
Step 1: Landing Page (First Touch)
The landing page is the candidate’s first interaction with the assessment. It is designed to be minimal and focused, helping candidates get started without distraction.
Key characteristics:
Clean, AI-forward visual design
Single privacy policy agreement
Clear entry point into the pre-test flow
This page sets expectations without introducing unnecessary information.
Step 2: System Check
The system check validates readiness before any personal information is requested.
What happens during this step:
Device, browser, and network readiness are confirmed
Photo verification, liveness check, and ID verification are completed
A minimal progress indicator shows completion status
By consolidating these checks into a single step, candidates experience less friction and fewer interruptions.
Step 3: Greet Your Candidate
Candidates see a message from the recruiter immediately after the system check.
This step:
Provides context and reassurance
Helps candidates mentally prepare for the test
Adds a human touch through written or video messaging
Placing this step early in the flow increases its impact and reduces anxiety before candidates proceed further.
Step 4: Personal Details
Candidates are asked to provide personal details required for the assessment.
This step is designed to:
Focus attention on a single form
Reduce visual clutter
Maintain a natural flow following the recruiter’s message
The layout emphasizes clarity and ease of completion.
Step 5: Test Guidelines
Test guidelines are shown immediately before the candidate enters the test.
Guidelines are:
Concise and contextual
Limited to essential rules only
Easier to retain due to reduced repetition
This timing ensures candidates remember key rules without feeling overwhelmed.
Entering the Test
After reviewing the guidelines, candidates proceed directly into the assessment.
At this point, candidates:
Have completed all verification checks
Understand what is expected of them
Can begin the test with confidence
Why This Approach Works
The redesigned pre-test experience:
Lowers perceived effort before the test begins
Reduces candidate anxiety and drop-offs
Improves completion rates
Preserves test integrity without adding friction
By focusing on clarity, order, and empathy, the pre-test journey supports both candidates and hiring teams more effectively.
