Show HN: Platform that assesses job candidates based on job profile

So basically we are launching a platform on which job candidates can be invited by companies for taking online assessments based on the skills needed for the job opening they are applying for. After finishing the assessment, the company receives a report on how the candidate performed in order to make a judgment on who to hire.

We are just starting with mostly PHP centric skills (like different PHP versions, Symfony2 framework), but we are working hard to add HTML5/CSS3, javascript and jQuery to the portfolio as well.

Our goal is to move away from only the standard "knowledge" questions, but gradually moving to a more situation based system, where we ask people to respond to problems and situations arising when working with those particular skills. Also we like to add more and more intelligence to the system to figuring out what kind of candidate we are dealing with. Also we would like to build more "intelligence" into the assessment system, where we figure out the actual skill level based on a dynamic range of questions (so for instance, we start out with simple questions, move on the more difficult set questions each time you have questions correct)

I know there are many cultural differences between hiring people in the EU and the US. Especially in the Netherlands, it's not often you find that you need to work your way through many layers of interview rounds consisting of tests, phone interviews, etc. We have a more "we'll try and see how it works out" attitude I guess, as it's quite normal to have a 1-2 month probational period. That being said, figuring out a candidates potential BEFORE the hire saves a lot of time and money, especially when you have a range of potential candidates available.
