Understanding our application review process

At Andela, we maintain high applicant standards for those looking to join our network. Each application goes through a comprehensive human review throughout the entire application lifecycle. This ensures fairness and supports your professional development. Our review process consists of four important checks to make sure that only qualified applicants move forward:

  1. Experience verification: We check your work history to ensure it meets the qualifications required.
  2. Andela Qualify skills test evaluation: Your skills test is reviewed to evaluate your coding quality and problem-solving skills.
  3. Proctoring and integrity checks: We verify that you follow eligibility requirements and work independently without unauthorized help, avoiding disqualification
  4. Interview stage: If we notice at this stage that any of the checks above do not meet our requirements, your interview may be canceled

Experience verification

We verify that your job history and experience align with what you’ve shared on your resume and other resources. Here are the key areas we focus on:

  • Job roles and descriptions that are accurate
  • Length of employment
  • Relevant industry experience

To help everything go smoothly, please ensure your professional profiles are current and reflect your qualifications. Any inaccuracies or differences might slow down the review process or even lead to disqualification.

Andela Qualify skills test evaluation

Our Andela Qualify skills tests are evaluated by trained human reviewers. This process includes:

  • Evaluating coding quality that aligns with industry standards
  • Following instructions that adhere closely to the problem guidelines
  • Ensuring application compliance to confirm that application guidelines were respected

To enhance your chances for success, we recommend checking out our technical skills test guidelines before you submit your application. 

Proctoring and integrity checks

To maintain fairness, we implement proctoring measures to make sure that skills tests are done independently. While you're taking your skills test:

  • Proctoring rules are in place to ensure you aren't getting any unauthorized assistance.
  • AI tools use is not allowed.
  • Integrity is very important to avoid disqualification.

Interview stage

Was your interview suddenly canceled? Your application is still under review after passing your skills test and reaching the interview stage. Interviews may be canceled at any time due to:

  • Discrepancies in your job experience or resume
  • Unapproved coding quality
  • Later discovered application factors that could lead to permanent disqualification

If you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We look forward to seeing your unique talents as you move forward!
