IdopI Programmer Evaluation Services (IPES) are assessment products that require an evaluee to demonstrate his or her skill and knowledge by completing an authentic assessment. What does "authentic assessment" mean? Think back to high school. Most of the tests you completed, such as multiple choice tests and spelling tests, required you to select a correct response or recall rote learned material. Math word problems were different though. Word problems required you to apply what you knew to solve a real world situation. Math word problems were authentic assessments.

IPES evaluations require a software developer to create a software application, using a specific programming language and technology. The resulting solution is examined and scored by a panel of software developers. You receive a detailed report that reveals the evaluee's expertise with the specified language and technology, overall experience, tendency to follow specifications and proficiency to communicate via writing.

By using IPES evaluations in your hiring process you gain confidence. Confidence that the software developer you are about to hire can perform the job for which you are hiring him or her. Confidence born from the fact that your new hire has proven his or her ability to program.
