Praxicraft Assess API for Technical Hiring

These are tasks your org owns. Attach them to assessments next to Praxicraft’s platform library.

If you are recruiting / ops

Create the task in the dashboard

Open Assess and add a custom task. Public API types are coding, MCQ, and text. Richer editors may exist only in the UI.

Write a clear question

Candidates see the title, description, and question. For coding, include language and starter code if helpful.

Attach it to an assessment

Edit the assessment, add the task, and keep the assessment Active before inviting.

Deleting a custom task removes it from assessments; past submissions keep a snapshot of what the candidate saw.
