Will I have to take another assessment during the client interview?
- Our Match and Client teams are working hard to streamline the process as much as possible and to sway clients to make exceptions in their standard hiring practices for Andelans.

Why do we need to take an assessment after we’ve already taken an assessment to join Andela?
- Assessments are a great tool to help you find your next role quickly and efficiently. By taking these tests, you'll be able to highlight your skills and match with clients more easily. Although it's not a guarantee, it gives us more leverage! We've also noticed that when candidates take assessments aligned with the job's specific language or skills, they're more likely to pass the initial screening and interviews with clients. It's all about investing that upfront time to reap the rewards later.
