Frequently asked questions
What does the technical writer assessment cover?+
Our technical writer test covers developer documentation craft, api reference writing, information architecture, working with engineers, plus situational judgment items calibrated to mid level. Technical-writing hiring rewards docs that reduce support load; strong candidates show before/after metrics rather than word counts. Every question, weighting, and time limit is editable.
How long is a typical technical writer interview process on ClarityHire?+
Most teams run a 60 minutes technical writer assessment, then schedule a 30–45 minute live interview with the top finishers. ClarityHire automates invites, scheduling, scoring, and reports so the average tech writing req ships an offer in under two weeks.
How do you stop technical writer candidates from leaning on ChatGPT?+
We don't try to detect specific models or fingerprints — those break weekly. We look at process: does this Tech Writing candidate's session resemble a human iterating through the problem, or someone alt-tabbing to a chat window every two minutes? The pattern is what travels.
Do I still need a separate ATS to hire technical writers?+
If you have an enterprise ATS for compliance, you can keep it and use our webhooks. If you're paying for a recruiting CRM just to track Tech Writing candidates, you almost certainly don't need it once ClarityHire is in.
How much does ClarityHire cost for technical writer hiring?+
Per-candidate pricing, free tier for small teams, enterprise SKU with SSO and audit logs for orgs over ~200 employees. Hiring Technical Writers without surprise per-seat charges is the design goal.
