Before You Start
Sign in and verify your email
Equip does not ask you to create an account or set a password. You verify your identity with your email address.1
Open your assessment link
Open the link from your invitation email or your recruiter, and enter your email address.
2
Verify your email
Enter the 6-digit code Equip sends to that address. The code expires in 10 minutes.
3
Confirm your name and details
Confirm your name and email address, and fill in any details your recruiter asks for, such as your phone number or LinkedIn URL.
After you enter your email, Equip asks for the 6-digit code it sent you
If you were invited by email, your link is unique to you. The verification code is always sent to the invited email address, so the link cannot be used by anyone else.
Read the instructions page
The instructions page shows how the assessment is structured and the rules for each test. If your recruiter set a start window, you cannot begin outside it.
The instructions page lists the tests in your assessment and what to expect in the next one
Attempt the demo tests
Before the actual tests, Equip shows a Demo Tests page. Demo tests take about a minute, are completely free, and let you get comfortable with the interface and proctoring setup before anything counts. If you have already attempted them, you can select Skip to Assessment.Check your device
Google Chrome on a desktop or laptop is the safest choice for any assessment. Some test types also work on phones, while others require a desktop.
Your recruiter may also block phones and tablets entirely. If a test will not load, see Device Compatibility.
During the Test
Proctoring and consent
Most assessments are proctored by AI, and Equip may access your camera, microphone, and screen while a test is running. Before each test starts, you see which proctoring measures are active, and you consent to the proctoring report being shared with your recruiter. Grant camera and microphone permissions when your browser asks, or the test cannot begin.Timers
There is no single countdown for the whole assessment. Time limits apply per test or per question.Quiz display modes
Quizzes behave differently depending on how your recruiter set them up. The instructions on screen always tell you which mode you are in.In a one-by-one quiz, you cannot return to a question you skip. Reloading the page blocks your current question and moves you to the next one, so avoid refreshing unless you have to.
Other test types
Coding tests run in a browser-based editor where you pick your programming language. For audio and video response questions, the allowed retakes and answer durations are shown on screen.If you get disconnected
Losing your connection or accidentally closing the tab does not end your assessment. Click the same assessment link again from any device and Equip resumes your attempt wherever possible. With per-question timers, the question you were on is forfeited. With per-test timers, the clock keeps running while you are away. See Resume Your Attempt for details.Submitting
Submit each test
You complete and submit each test in order before moving to the next. After audio and video answers, stay on the page until the upload finishes.The completion screen
When you finish the final test, you see the Assessment Completed screen. At this point you can safely close the tab.
The Assessment Completed screen confirms your submission
