Hiring Workflow, Step by Step

Every stage of this hire can run in SkillSauce on one board, from the first applicant to the offer. The level sections below add the detail for junior (0-3 years), mid-level (3-6 years) and senior (6+ years) hires.

  1. 1

    Open a Job Profile for the role

    Create a Job Profile for the role: one Kanban board, free on every plan, that holds every candidate, test and interview for this hire. Write the job description with the free Job Description Generator, or start from the template in your level below.

  2. 2

    Fill the candidate pool

    Publish the job on your Career Page and share the link on LinkedIn, X and job boards, so every applicant lands on the board. To reach people who have not applied, search Candidate Lookup by domain and seniority, then narrow by industry, company and location. You can also import LinkedIn profiles by URL, upload resumes in bulk or import a CSV.

  3. 3

    Shortlist the strongest resumes

    Move applicants into the Resume Shortlister: TESSA AI scores every resume against the Job Profile and shows its reasoning, so you can see why each candidate made the cut before you send a single test.

  4. 4

    Test the skills the role needs

    Send the shortlist a Non-IT assessment on Healthcare Regulations, Healthcare Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management, plus a Psychometric assessment for personality and work style. Build it from the Question Library of 320,000+ questions, or let TESSA AI generate it when this exact role is missing, and keep AI proctoring on for remote candidates.

  5. 5

    Interview with TESSA AI

    Invite the candidates who pass to a TESSA AI interview on the role itself, in any of 100+ languages. Add a Culture Fit round to see how they work with a team like yours, and a Behavioural round on how they handle patients, families and pressure.

  6. 6

    Meet the shortlist

    Schedule the panel or case interview on Zoom or Google Meet with Google Calendar invites, and keep candidates posted on WhatsApp or email.

  7. 7

    Decide together and make the offer

    Compare finalists on their Reports: scored results for each test and AI interview, plus the proctoring activity of proctored tests. Collect your hiring team’s feedback on each candidate, then make the offer with the email templates in your level below.

Verified Domain Questions (Junior Tier)

5 verified Easy domain evaluation questions extracted directly from the SkillSauce question bank.

Q1

Jaipur sonology room, 11:48. A 19-week obstetric USG is booked at 12:00. Form F is blank: no indication, no declaration, no referring-doctor particulars. The patient is already gowned. Under the PCPNDT Act, what do you do in the next 12 minutes?

Easy
  • aStart the scan and complete Form F after she leaves, because 19 weeks is “too late for sexing” so the form is a formality.
  • bDo a five-minute biometry only, skip Form F, and tell the receptionist to tick the boxes from the appointment slip.
  • cDo not apply the transducer. Complete Form F and the other PCPNDT records fully before any scan; if they cannot be completed lawfully in 12 minutes, reschedule. Do not communicate fetal sex.Correct
  • dScan now to keep the slot, and staple a photocopy of yesterday’s Form F with the name overwritten.

Explanation: Correct is (c): PCPNDT requires a complete Form F before a prenatal diagnostic scan on a pregnant woman; a 12-minute slot does not waive it, and 19 weeks is not an exemption. (a) “too late for sexing” is not a legal defence and post-filling is still an incomplete-record offence. (b) a partial scan is still a procedure under the Act. (d) overwriting another patient’s form is fabrication.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Healthcare Regulations (India) for Healthcare Compliance Specialist at the junior experience tier.

Q2

What is the correct legal relationship between National Medical Commission registration, a State Medical Council, and hospital clinical privileging?

Easy
  • aNMC/State Medical Council registration is the statutory licence to practise medicine. Hospital privileging is only an institutional grant of which procedures that registered practitioner may perform in that hospital; it cannot replace a valid council registration.Correct
  • bSix months of hospital privileging automatically substitutes for State Medical Council registration.
  • cThe NMC registers hospitals; the State Medical Council registers nurses; privileging is a NABH stamp on the ID card.
  • dPrivileging by the medical superintendent is the same legal instrument as an NMC licence to practise anywhere in India.

Explanation: Correct is (a): council registration is the licence to practise; privileging is a hospital credentialing decision on top of that licence. (b) time in post does not create registration. (c) NMC/SMC register medical practitioners, not hospitals or nurses via that route. (d) privileging is site-specific and is not an NMC practising licence.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Healthcare Regulations (India) for Healthcare Compliance Specialist at the junior experience tier.

Q3

Lucknow OT, 40 minutes to knife-to-skin for an elective cholecystectomy. The only signed consent is an English NABH template. Audit last month: 70% of inpatients prefer Hindi and this patient has already said she does not read English. NABH consent standards require the patient to understand what is being signed. You:

Easy
  • aWheel her in on the English form because “NABH forms are in English” and the slot cannot move.
  • bAsk a relative to write a Hindi line on scrap paper and staple it after she is anaesthetised.
  • cCancel all future Hindi-speaking lists so only English-literate patients are booked.
  • dDo not start anaesthesia until risks, benefits and alternatives are explained and documented in a language she understands (Hindi), using a Hindi form or a documented interpreter, even if that means delaying or rescheduling this case.Correct

Explanation: Correct is (d): NABH-aligned informed consent is comprehension, not an English letterhead; 40 minutes is enough to do it properly or to delay. (a) language of the template does not override understanding. (b) a scrap after induction is not consent. (c) excluding Hindi speakers is not the regulatory fix.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Healthcare Regulations (India) for Healthcare Compliance Specialist at the junior experience tier.

Q4

Your 40-bed nursing home in Lucknow is registered under Uttar Pradesh’s adoption of the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act. The certificate expired 18 days ago. Tomorrow’s list is four elective hernia repairs and one true obstetric emergency already in labour. As medical superintendent, what do you do tonight?

Easy
  • aRun the full elective list; an 18-day lag is “renewal in process” and NABH is still valid.
  • bCancel or postpone the four elective hernias until the clinical-establishment registration is actually renewed. Keep only the labouring emergency if the local authority’s emergency pathway allows, and file the renewal with an honest covering note — do not restamp last year’s certificate.Correct
  • cWrite a new expiry date on last year’s certificate and show it to the OT in-charge.
  • dAsk the NABH coordinator for a bridging letter that replaces State registration for 90 days.

Explanation: Correct is (b): in an adopting State, operating as a clinical establishment after expiry is unlawful for planned work; electives wait, emergencies follow the authority’s rules, and dates are not altered. (a) NABH does not revive an expired CEA certificate. (c) restamping is forgery. (d) accreditation is not a statutory licence.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Healthcare Regulations (India) for Healthcare Compliance Specialist at the junior experience tier.

Q5

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, how should an Indian hospital treat health records it holds as a Data Fiduciary?

Easy
  • aHealth records are outside DPDP because clinical care is a “professional exemption” and no notice is ever required.
  • bDPDP applies only after the hospital signs a US HIPAA Business Associate Agreement.
  • cHealth data are personal data. The hospital must give a notice of purpose and process on valid consent (or another lawful basis the Act actually provides), for the stated purpose, with a withdrawable choice — not silent reuse for a new HIS marketing feed.Correct
  • dNotice and consent are optional whenever the HIS vendor holds an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate.

Explanation: Correct is (c): DPDP 2023 covers digital personal data, including health data held by a hospital fiduciary; notice and a lawful basis are conceptual duties, without inventing section trivia. (a) clinical status does not delete DPDP. (b) a HIPAA BAA is US law, not an Indian permission. (d) ISO 27001 is security certification, not a DPDP notice/consent substitute.

Why it matters: Evaluates practical domain proficiency in Healthcare Regulations (India) for Healthcare Compliance Specialist at the junior experience tier.
