Use case
Timed hiring and recruiting tests
A skills test only ranks candidates fairly if everyone takes it under the same conditions. Form Timer gives each applicant an identical timebox and records exactly how they used it.
Comparable scores, defensible decisions
When one candidate spends 20 minutes and another spends 3 hours on the "45-minute" screen, their scores are not comparable, and your shortlist inherits that noise. An enforced limit with auto-submit means every score was produced under the same constraint.
Take-home tests with a real window
Combine a start date, an end date, and a per-candidate countdown: the test is available from Monday to Friday, and each candidate gets exactly 60 minutes once they begin. Candidates get flexibility on when; you keep control of how long.
Timing data is signal
A near-perfect score in a fraction of the expected time can mean brilliance, or a copied answer key. Duration next to each response in Sheets helps you decide which follow-up interviews to prioritize and which results deserve scrutiny.
A candidate experience that stays professional
Applicants see clear instructions on a branded welcome page, an explicit start button, and a visible countdown while they work. No surprise cutoffs, no ambiguity about the rules. The process feels rigorous rather than hostile.
Keep your existing pipeline
Responses and timing data stay in Google Sheets, so screening results flow into whatever you use today: a shared shortlisting sheet, an export to your ATS, or a quick pivot table for the hiring committee.
