How to Use the AI Test Builder in Righteo

Writing a skills assessment from scratch takes time most hiring teams don't have. Righteo's AI Test Builder handles the heavy lifting for you, turning a role description into a structured, ready-to-use test in seconds. Here's how to generate one.

What the AI Test Builder Does

Give the AI Test Builder a few key details, such as the role, the required skills, or the competencies you're assessing for, and it generates a complete assessment around them. The questions and expected answers are created together, so the test can be auto graded by AI based on natural language input. From skill-based questions to personality insights, it's built to get you from blank page to usable test in seconds.

1. Open the Custom Test Tab

From the left sidebar menu, click into Assessments, then select the Custom Test tab.

2. Click Build New Test

In the top right corner of the screen, click + Build New Test to start a new assessment.

3. Select Generate AI Test

You'll be asked to choose a test type. Select Generate AI Test, the option where Righteo generates both the questions and the expected answers for you, then click Create.

4. Add Your Job and Test Details

This is the part that determines how accurate your generated test will be. Fill in:

• Test Name – for example, "Software Engineer Assessment"
• Industry – the industry the role sits in
• Difficulty Level – select from the dropdown
• No of Questions – how many questions you want the AI to generate

• Test Category – select from the dropdown
• Test Purpose (or paste Job Description) – describe what you need the candidate to demonstrate, or paste the job description directly

The more specific you are in the test purpose field, the more targeted the generated questions will be. A prompt like "I need to evaluate the candidate's technical proficiency in .NET, with strong core knowledge of the C programming language" gives the AI far more to work with than a one-line summary. Once everything is filled in, click Build Test.

5. Review and Edit the Generated Test

Once the template is generated, you're not locked into what the AI produced. You can edit question wording, rearrange the order, add new questions from the Questions Library, or delete ones that don't fit. This gives you the speed of AI generation with the same control you'd have building a test manually.

6. Preview and Publish

Click Preview to see the test as a candidate would experience it. Once you're happy with it, click Publish. Published tests become available to your entire team, ready to attach to any assessment.

Final Thoughts

The AI Test Builder is the faster route to a usable assessment, especially when you're hiring at volume or filling a role you haven't written a test for before. For roles where you need full control over every question and answer, the manual Custom Test Builder is still the better fit, but for most hiring needs, starting with AI and refining from there gets you to a published test in a fraction of the time.
