TestGorilla

Avantages

I did not like this product. No positives for me. I think the time allocations per assessment battery are also questionable.

Inconvénients

There are no real practice tests. The verbal reasoning test passage is lengthy and so are the corresponding answers for selection.

Avantages

Good tests, ease of use, great customer service

Inconvénients

The price is not clearly stated, it is confusing on why you are charging for assessments, i think you need a clearer pricing module.

you also need to add more business related tests, i was looking for anything in logistics but there is nothing.
The test scoring doesn't allow me to see the actual answers provided and what are the correct answers.

I use manatal for recruitment and it would be great if both solutions can be integrated

Avantages

Ease of use. Ability to put an assessment together in minutes. The system sends out an email to applicants and they are then guided through the steps. The interface is very clean and clear and there are built-in safeguards to prevent others from completing the assessment for the candidates.I like that all of the major personality tests are available on the free version. As well as a number of skill-based assessments as well.

Inconvénients

I've been using the free version, which is great. Of course, there are some limitations, but that is understood while using the free version. Despite those limitations, it's beneficial.The personality assessments are great, though I'm starting to be a bit unsure of their validity, as the majority of respondents tend to get the same result. I'm unclear if that's due to the similar nature of the roles I'm using them for, or if it's something else.

Avantages

Test Gorilla is a great over the internet tool that has helped us get the best candidates for the various job opportunities we have had in the recent past through online assessments (screening tests).- I like their numerous numbers of assessment tests that you can choose from. I was able to get the most common and expected screening tests that most employers want to use to get the best candidates. Common tests like Microsoft Excel (both basic and advanced), Microsoft Windows Test, Problem solving tests, numerical reasoning tests, personality tests, etc.- The interface is easy and simple to use. I only needed a single 10-minute video on YouTube to show me around TestGorilla.- As the ‘owner’ of test assessments, you are able to try out and use the premium assessments before giving them out to your potential candidates even before you make a premium purchase. You will only be required to make a payment at the point when you need to share the test to your candidates.- One of my most favorite things about TestGorilla is the anti-cheating efforts they have incorporated into the application to ensure that the assessments are fair for your candidates. Your candidates will take your assessments via their computer in Full-screen mode. If a candidate exits the Full-screen mode, the action will be detected for the owner's review. There is a webcam recording in place to record your candidates throughout the assessment time to ensure that no one is cheating.

Inconvénients

I feel like TestGorilla is a bit too expensive for small companies.Also, I wish they could add most tests to their database of tests

Avantages

ok product, i used it once to test the candidates in my company.

Inconvénients

I forgot to disable the auto renew. after a year they charged me 399 USD!

I contacted them and they said it is our policy not to cancel!!

what a shitty company!

Avantages

・Strong Behavioral Assessments
・Good Range of Tests ranging for Hard Skill to Soft Skills

Inconvénients

・I believe there could be more aspects to the Problem Solving test accumen, specifically in regards to more functional problems.

Avantages

Mi è piaciuto e l'ho proposto per selezionare nuovo personale... l'azienda sta valutando

Inconvénients

non saprei tutto da verificare, alle poche prove non nè ho rilevati

Avantages

It is a software that helps us make different assessments for different roles, both tech hiring and non tech hiring. The assessments are based on different skills and aptitudes required at that level. Overall our hiring has improved a lot since we have started using this.

Inconvénients

I wanted it to be integrated with a ATS , so that we can then automate most of the steps. Its integration with India specific job boards/ ATS is limited at the moment.

Avantages

Library of questions to choose from which you can pick and choose to include in the test based on what skills you are recruiting for.
The test can be done online at a convenient time for the candidate and there are checks built in to determine if the candidate was cheating.
Various ways to share the test to potential candidates
Nice summary of the candidates results

Inconvénients

Needs more questions in the library for a wider variety of positions.
Needs to assess the programming code automatically and provide a rating rather than just showing me the code and making e decide if the candidate is a good fit or not

Avantages

The ability to create a modularized exam to cover different technical and behavioral qualifications through pre-built quizzes. This allows for a better objective review of potential candidates we are considering hiring. I also like the scoring benchmarks for comparing potential candidates.

Inconvénients

There are a few technical glitches it seems still in the software with logging into the system, getting passwords reset, etc.

Avantages

Very easy to use and understand

Excellent assessment results presentation and information relevant to the recruiting process

Inconvénients

I have yet to identify anything that I like less, this product has added significant value to my role as HR Manager

Avantages

I like that the platform is straightforward and easy to use. There aren't a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles to get in the way. Setting up assessments and inviting applicants is very quick and easy. The layout makes it easy to compare candidates about each other.

Inconvénients

I don't like that you aren't able to view the tests without assigning them to yourself and manually taking them. This makes scoring somewhat opaque, and it is hard to judge if the tests are 100% aligned to the knowledge/skills you are looking to test for. I understand the rationale behind locking down the tests, but I feel that the rewards of showing employers the tests they are assigning would outweigh the risks.

Avantages

TestGorilla is actually really good when it comes to challenge applicants to perform really well, as the overall difficulty of the assessments makes the test unforgivable as you have to be like really concentrated. This helps us a lot because it makes the filtering process easier to advance in other steps of the recruitment process.

Inconvénients

The only thing that I think makes the assessment a little bit complicated for the applicants is the full-screen + camera monitoring, for us it's actually really good because it ensures that the test is done by one person, but for the applicant's side, makes them uncomfortable and may affect a little the whole recruitment overall experience.

Avantages

It's easy to use and it has a good customisation

Inconvénients

The reports are very poor. At least in the our plan

Avantages

Ease of downloading to excel and PDF files.

Inconvénients

Testing levels are subjective - Intermediate level people end up doing senior level coding reviews for example. Testing levels should mimic the market. for example Python Coding challenges should have the titles of "Junior" "Intermediate" or "Senior". Also - please add more testing for machine learning and AI applications - this is the future and it's already here:)

Avantages

Its extremely easy to create your own assessments. Good if you have timed questions you need to ask at the beginning of a candidate review before meeting with them
note: we did not leverage their pre-made assessments as we were not sold on the questions

Inconvénients

Wish there were notifications for when users complete the assessments. It would be nice if integrations didn't 12x the price....

Avantages

Very easy to use this product, allowing me to set up appropriate technical assessments for key positions. Helped reduce the amount of time spent doing one-on-one interviews with numerous candidates, helped us narrow down the candidates we really wanted to spend time with in order to make a better informed decision regarding hiring.

Inconvénients

No real cons, other than a couple of candidates did not receive invitation emails. There is no way for us to know whether these statements were true and we did end up spending time chasing candidates that had not responded. Would be good to have an option for candidates to accept or reject participation in assessment so that we did not have to chase unnecessarily if candidate had decided to opt-out.

Avantages

Customer support and user-friendly dashboard

Inconvénients

Pricing and candidates limit to attend are restricted to 100 candidates beyond that we have to pay an additional amount.

Avantages

I love that it's online, easy to use, there are so many options to customize an assessment, and It's accurate. The cost was great too.

Inconvénients

I wish it integrated with Breezy.hr since this is what we use to filter through resumes

Avantages

The fact that it is easy to share between colleagues, downloadable, time-limited

Inconvénients

Not all questions work for the respective topics. Oftentimes the question can not really assess the candidate

Avantages

It's very easy to use and it's not as troublesome and expensive as other alternatives. You can create an assessment for a role in less than 5 minutes.
The scoring is very pertinent and it shows you how a candidate performs over different topics of a same area.

Inconvénients

The ability to customize pre-made quizzes, for example in my case most of my applicants are not native English speakers and they take a little bit more time to understand the questions and scenarios, and really strong candidates tend to score very low at the end of the test because the time wasn't enough.
I would like to customize the times per area of expertise or even each question, also I'd like to create custom-made tests using certain questions from the pre-made tests.

Pourquoi passer à TestGorilla

Avantages

Easy to set-up and use; non-biased screening of candidates.

Inconvénients

Only negative was one of the tests - the Enneagram - the test results were not what we expected. Our organization follows the Enneagram and we do a lot of professional development around it. The results delivered did not match any of he styles we are familiar with.

Avantages

We choose TestGorilla for it's expansive test library and user experience.

Inconvénients

It's fairly new so still developing, looking forward to feature updates in the future.

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

The tests are easy to set up but the quality of them is questionable and the goal seems to be to lock you into a long term contract.

Inconvénients

Technical tests are lacking and not on a level with the competition. The customer service policy seems to be to tell you what you want to hear until you're off the phone then send you an email to the contrary. I wouldn't recommend this product at all and would strongly suggest using only the free trial if essential. They require payment upfront and are not willing to have a constructive discussion about returning any of that money in the event the product doesn't live up to expectation.

Avantages

Its a good tool to assess candidates before interviewing. It has saved the company I work for a lot of time during the screening phase of recruitment. You get a lot more information from your candidates.

Inconvénients

Based on feedback from candidates, they have complained about not being able to complete an assessment due to the time constraint, I think granting an additional five minutes to candidates for certain assessments (not all), would be beneficial to us the employer as the data of a persons results would be more accurate.

Could also be cheaper for returning customer!
