Custom question type.
Evaluate real-world skills in real-time with Google Docs questions
Evaluate how candidates think, write, and organize their ideas with open-ended tasks in live Google Docs. Google Doc questions replicate real workplace writing scenarios, briefs, explanations, analyses, and strategic documents. Test communication clarity, logic, and problem-solving in a familiar interface.
Filter top talent faster with real work responses
Traditional assessments fall short in evaluating communication skills, problem-solving depth, and clarity of thought. Google Docs Questions bridges that gap with task-based responses that mirror day-to-day responsibilities.
- Assess the quality of writing, structure, logic, and critical thinking
- Replicate workplace deliverables to identify candidates who can actually do the job
- Eliminate surface-level assessments with meaningful, role-relevant tasks
- Increase alignment between hiring expectations and candidate performance
A test that looks like the job
Google Doc Questions are open-response assessments where candidates complete tasks in a live Google Doc. Instead of answering multiple-choice questions, they write, plan, analyze, or explain just like they would in the role. Here's how it works: create or choose a task prompt, assign it with a click, then review with context.
- Native Google Doc interface (no learning curve)
- Timed submissions with optional word count guidance
- Originality detection and activity tracking
- Collaboration tools for internal review and scoring
Tailored for thought-driven roles
When writing, clarity, or complex thinking are core to the role, this is the assessment you need. Google Doc questions are trusted by teams hiring for:
Content & communications
- Long-form articles
- Brand tone exercises
- Executive ghostwriting samples
Strategy & operations
- Business case analysis
- Process documentation
- Operational plans
Product & video interview prep
