What is Greet Candidates?
Greet Candidates is a pre-test greeting shown on the test instructions screen, just before a candidate begins the assessment.
It is designed to help candidates understand what to expect and feel prepared before they start. This section can be used to:
Welcome candidates and introduce the role or company
Explain the purpose of the assessment
Share rules, guidelines, or important instructions
Reassure candidates about timing or question formats
Why This Helps
Clear and friendly greetings:
Reduce candidate anxiety before starting the test
Minimize confusion and last-minute questions
Improve assessment completion rates
Reduce drop-offs caused by unclear expectations
Candidates who know what to expect are more likely to complete the assessment confidently and thoughtfully.
