The Challenge
Trillium’s recruitment team was struggling with a variety of inefficiencies in their old process:
Manual, Paper-Based Tests
Conducting tests physically at different campuses meant dealing with printing, logistics, evaluator coordination, and manual checking. It was time-consuming, error-prone, and lacked standardization.
Lack of Proctoring
Once they attempted remote or emailed assessments, maintaining test integrity became a huge challenge. Candidates could easily copy answers, collaborate with peers, or look up solutions online—making results unreliable.
No Real-Time Tracking or Reporting
Without a central platform, data from tests was scattered across spreadsheets. Creating summary reports, filtering candidate performance, and comparing batches was a tedious manual task.
Need for Custom Assessments
Trillium needed assessments specifically designed for cybersecurity roles—not just generic aptitude or coding tests. Customizing questions manually and distributing them across batches was inefficient and lacked security.
Delayed Hiring Cycle
With quarterly hiring goals, speed was critical. But manual assessments delayed shortlisting, and follow-up interviews often had to be rescheduled, creating backlogs and frustration.
Our Solution
Trillium decided to modernize their entire hiring workflow by switching to TestTrick’s digital assessment platform.
Customized Test Creation & Upload
Using TestTrick, Trillium created role-specific, customized assessments for cybersecurity and IT support roles. They uploaded their own test content—including scenario-based questions, vulnerability detection problems, and network security case studies—directly into the platform.
This flexibility allowed them to maintain control over content while eliminating the need for paper-based distribution.
Built-in Remote Proctoring
TestTrick’s proctoring suite was a game-changer. Features like webcam monitoring, screen switching detection, and AI-driven plagiarism alerts helped maintain the integrity of every test session—regardless of where the candidate was located.
Recruiters could confidently say goodbye to unfair practices and focus on real skills.
Bulk Assessments and Campus Drives
Whether it was 200 or 1,200 candidates, TestTrick handled bulk test scheduling, automated result processing, and data collection with ease. The platform’s scalability meant Trillium could run simultaneous drives across multiple colleges without worrying about infrastructure or manual errors.
Detailed Excel Reporting
After every test cycle, Trillium received customized Excel reports with deep candidate analytics. Reports included:
- Candidate scores by section (technical, reasoning, etc.)
- Time taken per question
- Proctoring flags and behavioral anomalies
- Rank-wise performance
- Batch-level summaries
These reports made it easy for hiring managers to filter top candidates, identify weak areas, and align test results with interview outcomes.
Centralized Dashboard
From one dashboard, the recruitment team could view candidate progress, schedule follow-ups, send reminders, and export data. Everything was synchronized—no more juggling between spreadsheets, emails, and printed test sheets.
The Results
The transformation was immediate and measurable.
⏱️ 75% Faster Hiring Cycle
What used to take weeks—from distributing test papers to manually scoring and shortlisting—was now completed within days. Trillium could screen, evaluate, and schedule interviews within 48–72 hours after test completion.
🧠 Better Quality of Hires
With a more consistent and objective evaluation process, Trillium saw a direct improvement in candidate quality. The correlation between assessment scores and job performance went up significantly. Candidates who scored well in TestTrick’s customized assessments performed equally well in technical rounds and client projects.
🛡️ Enhanced Test Security
Thanks to proctoring, the trust in test results increased. Recruiters no longer second-guessed whether a candidate’s high score was authentic. Any red flags were clearly documented and supported with video evidence or system behavior.
📈 Scalable & Repeatable Model
The new system allowed Trillium to run quarterly assessments smoothly without reinventing the wheel every time. They created reusable test templates, automated bulk invites, and exported consistent reports—all from one platform.
🌐 Expanded Reach
With remote test delivery and digital proctoring, Trillium was able to include candidates from remote campuses, previously excluded due to logistical limitations. This helped diversify their hiring pipeline and tap into new talent pools.
