Frequently asked questions

No. Most demos at /demo work without login. You can take a free Career Assessment at /ai-assessment without signing up. Login is only required to save results or claim a certificate.

Yes. Charvak supports 106 roles × 66 industries × 7 experience levels. Pick your target role (e.g., "Backend Engineer"), industry (e.g., "SaaS / B2B Software"), and level (e.g., "Mid-Level") — questions are calibrated to that specific combination.

Eight formats: MCQ, coding (Python, JS, Java, TypeScript), SQL (SQLite), short-answer, numeracy, situational judgment, behavioral (STAR), system design, debugging, case study. Coding assessments are tested against deterministic test cases, not AI opinions.

Free for scores 85+. For scores 70-84, the certificate is 5 credits (~$1.99 USD or ₹199 INR). Below 70, you can retake the assessment for free in a different format. See full pricing →

Yes. Every certificate has a public URL and a cryptographic hash. If you lose your link, log into your account and download the certificate again. Employers can verify independently at the public URL — no login required on their end.

No. Every certificate is issued once and stays verifiable forever at the HMAC-hashed URL. There's no renewal fee, no annual cost, no expiration date.

No certificate — but the assessment isn't wasted. You'll see a full skill-gap analysis showing exactly which topics you need to strengthen. Charvak recommends specific courses to fill those gaps, or designs a custom course for you. You can retake the assessment in 30 days for free.

Every certificate has a public URL like charvakit.com/career-certification/CCERT-XXXX. Share it in LinkedIn posts, resumes, or emails — employers open it in 5 seconds, no login required. You can also download the PDF: see example →

Two paths: (1) browse the public passport directory at /employer/dashboard — filter by tier, score, and integrity status; (2) run a JD through the AI screen agent to auto-generate a pipeline. Both feed into the recruiter dashboard at /recruiter/dashboard.

Every coding problem has 3 test cases (real stdin + expected stdout). Candidates submit code, Judge0 CE executes it against each test case, and the score is (passed cases / total cases) × 100. A score of 85 means 85% of test cases passed — not "AI gave them 85."

Yes — no login required. Every cert has a public verify URL: charvakit.com/api/career-certification/verify/{hash}. Paste the hash, get back verified status + score + issued date. Try it with a real cert: see example →

4 coding languages: Python 3.11, JavaScript (Node.js), Java 17, TypeScript. Plus SQL (SQLite, honestly labeled approximate to PostgreSQL/MySQL). Each cert names the exact task classes tested — no vague "programming" category.

Automated 2-phase chat. Phase 1: 3 disqualification questions (years, salary range, work auth). Phase 2 (if qualified): 9 more questions capturing notice period, current CTC, expected CTC, and specific skills. Feeds into your pipeline automatically. Try it live →

Greenhouse, Lever, and Workable integrations are on the roadmap (Q1 2027). Until then, candidates can be exported as CSV or PDF from the recruiter dashboard, then imported into any ATS. If your ATS is a blocker, reply to any email we send — we prioritize integration by active demand.
