Assessing designers with scenarios and uploads
Hiring · 6 min · June 4, 2026 · by Nour Hassan
Use design scenarios, written critiques and file uploads, then review the work against your rubric.
A design assessment should test judgement and the work behind it. Qexlify’s UI/UX engine supports multiple-choice scenarios, written answers and file uploads, so the author can choose the format that fits the brief.
Choose the evidence you need
Set a scenario for a quick knowledge check, ask for a written critique, or request an uploaded design artifact. Include the requirements in the question so the candidate knows what to produce.
Reviewed against a rubric
Review submitted work against the rubric you set — visual hierarchy, spacing, accessibility or other criteria relevant to the role. Answer-key questions can score automatically; written and practical work can receive rubric-guided AI review or human marking as appropriate.
Give a designer a clear brief and review the evidence against the same criteria.

The same idea, everywhere
The same approach applies to networking: use scenario-based multiple choice, a written diagnosis or an uploaded artifact, with grading matched to the question format and rubric.
