How our Data Science interview questions work

The driving force behind DevSkiller Data Science interview questions is the RealLifeTesting™ methodology. It powers our unique approach to developer testing. RealLifeTesting™ functions around the principle that to get the best out of a developer, you need to present them with challenges similar to their everyday work. We use RealLifeTesting™ to simulate a developer’s work environment and then set them realistic challenges to overcome. In this way, we are able to offer you a thorough overview of a developer candidate’s strengths and weaknesses from the initial screen stage of recruitment.

Say goodbye to endless hours of monotonous, in-house testing. At Devskiller, we can offer you a clear understanding of your applicants’ knowledge, coding ability, critical thinking, and time-management skills. Our testing method works remotely and efficiently, saving you hours of time and effort during the recruitment process.

What to look for in a Data scientist

Data Science is a way of making decisions and predictions through predictive causal analytics, as well as prescriptive analytics, and machine learning. A data scientist’s responsibilities include looking at exploratory data analysis, machine learning and advanced algorithms, and data product engineering.

DevSkiller’s Data Science interview questions can help you to whittle down the candidates who are the best critical thinkers. Data scientists need to possess the ability to objectively analyze the data presented to them before forming an opinion. The Data Science candidate you choose to recruit will need to show their proficiency in coding and be comfortable with a variety of programming tasks.

It will be preferable if your Data Science candidate is privy to various programming languages, but mainly Python and R. They will be analyzing data on a daily basis so they will need to demonstrate their proficiency in both mathematics and statistics.

Finally, if your candidate can demonstrate ability in machine learning, deep learning, or AI, then this will all work in their favor. Advances in these areas are happening rapidly so it will be advantageous if your Data scientist is up to date with advances in the industry, in order to remain ahead of the curve.

Build your own custom Data Science test

Some of our past clients have created their own interview questions, tailored to their business’s needs. Perhaps you would like to do the same?

Our range of Data Science coding tests can be altered to your needs. Opt for a test duration that suits you better, choose which questions are the most relevant, and even alter the difficulty level of each test.

Remote testing means you can conveniently assess candidates from all corners of the globe. Did we mention that you can even observe tests in real-time? That’s right, you can choose to observe how well each candidate is performing even while they are taking their test!

組み込みのPycharm IDE

To improve candidate experience during our Python online tests, Devskiller has implemented a built-in Pycharm IDE directly into the browser. Our already warmed up, ready to use Pycharm IDE will reduce time during testing. This will increase the user experience for your candidates and help to reduce candidate drop-off during the hiring process.

Candidates no longer have to clone the code, wait for the dependencies to install or indexes to build. They can literally start coding as soon as they open the test invitation. This unique feature is just one of the innovations setting DevSkiller TalentScore apart from the competition when it comes to developer screening.

よくある質問

What is RealLifeTestingTM?

The RealLifeTestingTM methodology is behind all of DevSkiller’s Data Science interview questions and coding tests. We don’t use traditional game-like quizzes or algorithmic puzzles that don’t accurately assess how well a developer will actually perform in the role. Instead, we use RealLifeTestingTM to recreate a Data scientist’s everyday work environment and assess them using challenges that reflect those they usually encounter. RealLifeTestingTM provides us and our clients with a holistic view of each applicant’s entire skillset. When the challenges mirror real issues, then the responses reflect how well that candidate will cope.

Our Data Science interview questions expect candidates to possess the critical thinking needed to determine the best method for resolving problems they may encounter. Results are automatically generated and are assessed on the candidate’s decision-making and problem-solving skills.

How do candidates undertake Data Science interview questions?

One of the main advantages of DevSkiller testing is that our Data Science interview questions are easily accessible online. Recruiters can send test invites to their candidates and then the tests themselves can be taken from anywhere they choose. This is a great time-saver, as your Data Science candidates can send their tests back as soon as they’ve finished, no more waiting around for in-house tests to be completed.

Even better is that our tests are assessed automatically as well. Once the candidate has finished, our system gets to work on their answers and then produces an automated, non-technical report detailing how they performed. Meaning all the recruiter has to do is send out the invites and await the results.

受験者はDevSkillerのテストをどう思いますか？

The feedback we get from developer candidates is that they love how closely our tests resemble the real work they do. Developers often grow tired of developer testing involving algorithmic tests and tasks reciting coding patterns, as this method doesn’t allow them to really show off their skills. Once they realize our tests aren’t following the same pattern, they relish being given the chance to perform.

Our tests allow candidates to work on our state of the art in-browser IDE, or to use their own, and they can run unit tests, much like they would in their real work. Developers are awarded a chance to prove their actual software development skills and to use normal coding tools and conventions that reflect their work. It is refreshing for candidates to be able to prove their skills in a fair setting.
