React developer skill test example
A React developer skill test, generated from a job description
Here's exactly what Talent Approved produces when you paste a React and TypeScript job description into Magic Create - the prompt, the questions it generated, and how a recruiter reviews the answers.
The job description we started with
Senior Frontend Developer (React / TypeScript)
"We're hiring a senior frontend developer to own our React and TypeScript codebase. You'll build performant, accessible UI, manage shared state, and keep our CI/CD pipeline healthy on GitHub Actions. Strong knowledge of React rendering behaviour, hooks, and TypeScript's type system is essential."
Pasting that into Magic Create - with a note like "8 questions, mix React, TypeScript, and CI/CD" - is all it takes. No template to pick, no library to search.
What Magic Create generated
Within seconds you get a complete draft: each question has answer options with exactly one marked correct and a tag like "React" or "TypeScript". You review and edit everything before publishing - tweak wording, change the correct answer, or drop a question entirely.
Example questions it produced
What is the primary purpose of the dependency array in React's useEffect hook?
To memoize the component's rendered output
To control when the effect re-runs by comparing values between renders
To cache the result of an expensive calculation
To stop the component from mounting
When using the Context API, which components re-render when the context value changes?
Only the component that owns the provider
Every consumer of that context
Only components whose own props changed
None - context updates never trigger re-renders
What does wrapping a component in React.memo() do?
Memoizes expensive calculations inside the component
Caches network requests the component makes
Skips re-rendering the component when its props are unchanged
Replaces the need for the useMemo hook
In TypeScript, what type does Omit<T, K> produce?
A type containing only the keys K from T
A type with all properties of T except those in K
A union of T and K
A read-only version of T
How a recruiter reviews the answers
When a candidate finishes, you get a per-question breakdown - the answer they chose, whether it was correct, and the time they spent - plus a plain-language AI summary and the candidate's rank against everyone else who took the test.
How to evaluate the answers
Score alone rarely tells the whole story. A strong score with fast, consistent answers is a good signal; a strong score with one question taking far longer than the rest is worth a follow-up. Talent Approved generates tailored interview questions from each candidate's actual answers, so your call focuses on what the test couldn't measure - reasoning, communication, and real-world experience.
Tip: run an AI Review on your test first - a synthetic candidate answers it blind to confirm the questions are clear and answerable before you send it to real people.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a fixed template?
No. The test is generated from the job description you provide, so the questions match your role. Paste a different description and you get a different, relevant test.
Can I edit the generated questions?
Yes. Every question, option, tag, and the correct answer is editable before you publish, and you can add your own questions too.
Can I generate tests for other roles?
Yes. Magic Create builds a test for any role from a prompt or job description - frontend, backend, data, support, and non-technical roles alike.
