Linea Sample

Simulation-based scenarios that mirror on-the-job work.

Work sample tests are some of the most predictive signals of success on-the-job, but they're hard to launch at scale. That is, until now.

Work samples and simulations

Why use a simulation?

Work simulations are modeled on work sample tests, one of the most reliable predictors of success on the job. Simulations adapt to candidate responses and mirror on-the-job work more accurately than a multiple-choice assessment or a personality test.

Mirror on-the-job work

Linea Sample simulations reflect actual voice and chat situations candidates may encounter on-the-job, like difficult customers, platform interfaces, and company policy guidelines.

Assess essential skills

Linea Sample tests and scores candidates on the skills that matter most to customer-facing roles, yet historically lack traditional validation processes: empathy and problem solving chief among them.

Identify qualified agents faster

With brief simulations of on-the-job work, employers can identify those fit to handle customer-facing work, while job seekers themselves can assess whether they like the type of work the job would entail.

Scenario

Pick a role-relevant scenario from our library of simulations. You can choose a scenario based on industry, experience level, length, customer "personality", and situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Linea Sample? Don't worry, we have answers!

How is Linea Sample different from a multiple-choice test or a recorded video interview?

Candidates don’t pick answers or record a one-way response. They have a live, unscripted conversation and have to follow company rules, solve the customer’s problem, and stay composed, the way they would on the job.

Does the AI make the hiring decision?

No. Linea Sample never makes or recommends a hiring decision. Its results are one input for your recruiters and hiring managers, and candidates are told this at the end of the simulation.

Can candidates take a Linea Sample assessment by voice as well as chat?

Employers can decide whether to offer chats as text, voice, or both. For voice interactions, Linea Sample also evaluates spoken English, including pronunciation and fluency. That result appears alongside the behavioral scores rather than being folded into them.

Is the AI customer going to say anything unpredictable?

The AI customer has a defined goal and personality for each scenario, and it works from a closed set of facts. It can be calm, anxious, or frustrated, but it can’t invent details outside the scenario. That keeps the experience consistent from one candidate to the next.

Can candidates use ChatGPT or other AI tools to get through the test?

A live, conversational format is much harder to game than a written test, where candidates have time to look up or generate answers. Candidates have to respond in real time.

How long does it take, and what’s the candidate experience like?

Candidates receive an invitation, give consent to AI use, can take an optional practice run, and then complete the live scenario. Scenarios typically run five to 20 minutes, and the experience works on desktop and mobile.
