Why some of our recent customers have moved from IKM to Adaface:

We noticed that some candidates who we expected would be really good engineers were failing IKM's assessments, and we got negative feedback from our clients about some of the candidates who had done really well on IKM's assessments. We feel that we cannot rely on the scores on the assessments to decide which candidate profiles to share with our clients. So we're exploring other solutions in the market, and the results we are seeing with Adaface's pilot seem promising.

We feel that IKM's assessments are not reflective of the day to day work of a developer. It is good to check their knowledge of theoretical concepts, but we want to see more synergy between the test and what they are going to be doing day-to-day.
