What we actually measure

Six dimensions of work behavior — observed during real work, weighted by role and seniority. The rubric flexes to the job; these are the universal ones.

Technical execution

Correctness, edge cases, production-quality code — on a real, role-relevant challenge.

Problem solving

How they break down ambiguity, debug, and find a path through unfamiliar territory.

Adaptability

How they navigate vague briefs, shifting requirements, and incomplete information — without losing momentum.

Communication

Can they explain why — and hold the line on a voice call when a manager pushes back?

Collaboration

How they engage stakeholders, gather requirements, and respond to teammates async.

Time management

Hits core requirements first, cuts scope under pressure, no over-engineering.

How this compares to coding tests

The honest version. Where Skillvee wins on signal — and where coding tests are just a different tool.
