About the PowerShell test
It’s easy for a company to get caught in a cycle of manual IT and tech tasks. But, with an expert in PowerShell on staff, you can quickly automate literally thousands of tasks, freeing up employees so they can spend their time on projects that use their skills to the fullest. Serving as both a scripting language and a command line shell, PowerShell provides flexibility; simple tasks can be completed by entering a single line in the command line.
This PowerShell test evaluates candidates’ abilities to use commands, pipelines, and variables as they script in PowerShell. This screening test also evaluates candidates’ skills in PowerShell remoting.
This screening test will help you identify experts in PowerShell who can immediately begin automating tasks for your company. Based on common real-life situations and scenarios, this PowerShell test will help you find candidates who can effectively use PowerShell regardless of whether they are Systems, Windows, or Azure-based.
Candidates who do well on this test will be able to apply their knowledge on the job.
