Skills Assessment

Need to verify a candidate's claimed Python expertise before technical interview.

"AI creates targeted assessment: "I've designed a customized Python assessment for David Chen based on your Senior Backend Developer requirements. Assessment structure: Section 1 - Core Python (15 min): Data structures, list comprehensions, error handling, OOP concepts. These establish baseline competency. Section 2 - Applied Skills (25 min): API design using FastAPI (your stack), database queries with SQLAlchemy, async programming patterns. Section 3 - Problem Solving (20 min): A real-world scenario similar to your product - optimize a data pipeline handling high-volume transactions. Results (completed yesterday): Overall score: 87/100 - Strong Candidate. Core Python: 95% - exceptional fundamentals, cleaner code than 90% of candidates. Applied Skills: 82% - solid FastAPI knowledge, some gaps in advanced SQLAlchemy (noted he's primarily used Django ORM). Problem Solving: 85% - creative solution, good optimization approach, wrote comprehensive tests. Key insight: His code style aligns well with your team's patterns. He asked clarifying questions before solving, showing good communication. Recommendation: Strong technical foundation. In the technical interview, probe deeper on SQLAlchemy and discuss his Django-to-FastAPI transition. Report attached with code samples.""
