Have IT pros prove what they know
Most skills assessments rely on a candidate's resume, multiple choice tests and your best estimate at their proficiency. But interviews, tests and guesswork don't validate skills.
The best way to confirm technical knowledge is to have candidates show what they know.
With Cloud Institute's hands-on Challenge Labs, you can find out if candidates actually have the skills needed to do the job — and avoid the embarrassment of hiring or placing candidates who don't.
Demonstrate abilities with real-world challenges
Hands-on virtual labs are challenge-centric, offering a way to test candidates on a variety of relevant scenarios in real-world environments.
Score actions against real job tasks and outcomes
Ranging from blank questions to measuring changes made in the lab, scoring assesses candidates' knowledge throughout the test.
Most in-demand cloud platforms and technologies
