Inside this Online SQL Assessment

The SQL Developer Skills Test assesses a range of skills in one comprehensive assessment. The test helps to bring to the fore the domain expertise, knowledge and job-ready skills of candidates and remove non-essential offline stages from the hiring process. This SQL Technical Test enables recruiters and employers to assess the candidate's skills in SQL objectively. It allows them to make well-informed decisions around applicant scoring with data-driven insights that provide benchmarks to compare top performers. Designed and validated by subject matter experts (SMEs), the test is helpful in hiring SQL developers, database developers, and software developers. 

Hiring managers can use this SQL Technical Assessment to focus their time and energy on potential SQL developers by determining their employability skills and job readiness. For that reason, the test comprises a blend of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and coding challenges that help to assess candidates' proficiency and ability to understand the nuances of SQL development. The test composition includes 20 MCQs and two coding problems and is an hour long. Undoubtedly, this screening method helps potential employers determine applicants' suitability for employment. 

The test helps to screen candidates for the following roles:  

  • Junior software developer 
  • Database analyst 
  • Oracle SQL developer 

Overview

Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard database language used in programming and developed for managing a database and performing functions related to it, such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. Leading Relational Databases (RDBMS) such as MySQL and Oracle use SQL as their standard language. An SQL developer is adept at using Structured Query Language. The SQL developer writes programs, functions, and queries to manipulate the data and structure of a database using SQL. The SQL developer may also be responsible for writing custom queries to generate reports. 

SQL developers should know the newest version of SQL and database management systems. The reason is that they create queries and subqueries to perform database management. Knowledge of multiple SQL language extensions will also come in handy for developers. The data industry is incomplete without SQL because all the data-centric roles, be it a data scientist, database developer, or data analyst, consider SQL a vital part of database management. 

SQL developers are highly sought-after tech professionals because businesses nowadays rely excessively on data and information. However, while such professionals are highly coveted by organizations keen on utilizing this indispensable data-oriented language, identifying the best and the brightest who are well-aligned with the employer's exact requirements takes a lot of work. Moreover, given that the job market is candidate-driven and tight, and unpredictable, how will recruiters come across the most suitable talent for the required job openings in this domain?

Including SQL Technical Assessment in the hiring process is a secure way to determine if the potential candidates have what it takes to get the job offer. This screening test provides recruiters with an excellent way to understand if the candidate's knowledge and proficiency match the role's requirements. As applicants are screened and vetted through the SQL Assessment process, it becomes clear that the qualified candidates possess the required technical skills, knowledge, and abilities. That is why the test result reports are so insightful and in-depth to provide a holistic overview of the test-taker's competencies.
