Intern Screening

Blank CVs, Real Potential

Intern applicants have no track record to compare, which makes CV screening mostly luck. An aptitude and skills test gives every applicant the same fair shot.

Intern Hiring Is Potential Hiring

An internship applicant's CV is a page of proxies: university name, grade average, a club or two. None of it is the thing you're hiring for, which is capacity to learn fast and think clearly. Screening on proxies quietly filters for background instead of potential, and the intern who would have been your best full-time convert never makes the longlist.

A screening test flips the funnel. Every applicant, whatever their university, gets the same timed assessment: reasoning aptitude from the Graduate Aptitude template, plus an optional skill section matched to the internship track. Bulk email invites handle the volume, scores arrive ranked, and your shortlist reflects measured ability rather than brand-name filtering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should an internship screening test include?+

A reasoning aptitude core, since interns are hired for learning capacity, plus optionally one skill section matched to the track, like coding basics for engineering interns. QuikQ has templates for both parts.

How many applicants can the screen handle?+

Applicants take the test from their own devices via one link or bulk email invites, so full intake pools sit the same assessment within your window, results streaming in live.

Is testing fairer than CV screening for interns?+

Considerably. Intern CVs mostly signal background rather than ability. A standardised test gives applicants from every university and background the same questions, timer, and scoring.

How do I set the cutoff?+

Many programs run the screen first, review the score distribution, and set the cutoff where their interview capacity lands. QuikQ applies pass/fail automatically once you set it.

What does it cost?+

Nothing. Templates, bulk invites, ranking, and anti-cheat are all on the free plan.
