Reading, listening, writing, and speaking — plus business English, email professionalism, and cross-cultural communication. Calibrated for Indian workplaces and global hiring contexts.
Choose the most professionally written version of the sentence below.
A client emails to ask for an update on a delayed project. Which response is most appropriate?
"The proposal aligned with our strategy but underestimated execution complexity." What does the speaker most likely think?
Most communication assessments either grade grammar (which AI can fake) or score "fluency" subjectively (which humans can't grade consistently). Skolarli does neither alone — we test the four core modes (reading, listening, writing, speaking) plus the workplace-specific dimensions that actually predict on-the-job communication: business email, professional tone, and cross-cultural awareness.
Built specifically for Indian workplaces and global hiring contexts. Our scenarios reflect real workplace situations — not artificial textbook exercises. The goal isn't perfect English. It's effective workplace communication.
Mix and match the dimensions that fit the role. Each is scored independently, then synthesized into a workplace-communication readiness profile.
Tests the ability to extract meaning, infer intent, and identify implications from workplace passages — emails, briefs, technical docs, and stakeholder communications.
Audio-based scenarios test active listening, accent comprehension, and the ability to extract instructions or sentiment from spoken workplace communication.
Free-text writing tasks scored against rubrics for clarity, structure, professionalism, and audience fit. Tests grammar, but more importantly, judgment.
Recorded speaking tasks evaluate fluency, articulation, structure, and confidence. Measures how candidates would actually communicate in calls, presentations, and customer interactions.
Tests workplace-appropriate language, professional tone, and contextually appropriate phrasing. Catches "kindly do the needful" and similar dated phrasing that hurts in client-facing roles.
Scenarios test awareness of communication norms across geographies — directness vs. indirection, hierarchical context, time and conflict styles. Essential for global IT, BPO, and consulting roles.
Most communication assessments fail in one of two ways: too lenient on AI-written responses, or too rigid on candidates whose English is fluent but not native. Skolarli avoids both.
Writing tasks run inside the Skolarli Integrity Browser with all AI tools blocked at the OS level. What you read on the page is what the candidate actually wrote — not what ChatGPT wrote for them.
Speaker biometrics confirm the candidate speaking is the same person who started the assessment. No friend with better English completing the speaking section.
We don't penalize fluent Indian English, but we do flag dated business phrasing ("kindly do the needful," "revert back," "prepone") that hurts in client-facing roles. Useful signal — not punishment.
Free-text writing and recorded speaking are scored with SkoAI providing quality scores, recommended marks, and identified themes — as inputs to your human evaluator. AI assists; humans decide.
You don't get one fuzzy "communication score." You get six independently-scored dimensions surfaced as a profile — so the dossier shows where a candidate is strong, where they're weak, and what role-fit decisions follow.
Reading and listening scores, writing samples with SkoAI scoring, audio recordings of speaking tasks, integrity context, and the final synthesis — bundled into a single export-ready candidate brief.
