TestGorilla

Extrêmemement chère

Avantages :

Les tests proposés sont variés. La plateforme est moyennement facile à prendre en main

Inconvénients :

Les tests ne sont pas tous pertinents. Le temps imparti pour répondre aux tests est trop court.

Plateforme d’évaluation des compétences

Avantages :

Ce logiciel facilite les sélections des meilleurs partir une grande partie (RH) avec les bons critères de notation.

Inconvénients :

Avec ces meilleurs qualités, certains candidats se plaignent du mode de fonctionnement de la plateforme.

Excellent service For assessing applicant talent

Commentaires : I have trust in the system's ability to accurately assess the candidates' technical skills. It has a built-in library of 250+ tests as well as the ability to create s customized assessments with a range of questions such as essay, text, and video-based questions.

Avantages :

It is a fantastic and entirely customized tool for assessing candidates. It is a great platform for testing candidates' expertise before hiring them, and we can create tests based on our specifications in a short period of time using numerous modules.

Inconvénients :

Many of my candidates complain that they did not receive their exam invitation invite, so there should be a resend/ reminder that will be appreciated. there are also no multiple-choice questions.

Essential for remote teams

Commentaires : We felt TestGorilla helped eliminate candidates we didn't need to persuade and helped identify the right candidates with the help of video responses. We were hoping for more non-cognitive skills assessments -- there were a few test suites that helped a bit, but we found that custom questions helped accomplish our goals better.

Avantages :

I loved that I could add cognitive and non-cognitive testing, and receive a summary of the test results rather than individual question results. This helps eliminate interviewer bias greatly.

Inconvénients :

I did not like the inability to modify my testing suite after the first interviewer. While I can see how this is interpreted as a feature, I would appreciate the ability to correct mistakes made in the original job posting or test suite composition.

Alternatives envisagées : Indeed

Pourquoi passer à TestGorilla : TestGorilla provided more customization options to our unique interview process, and works with teams of interviewers or reviewers more seamlessly.

Tests not indicative of performance

Commentaires : We did not plan to renew our subscription as ALL of the people we hired based on it flaked out. However, the renewal reminder that they sent was obscured by other 'salesy' email fluff i.e. announcing that they had been hard at work adding to their test library - a Typing test. Really!! Once I read that I paid it no attention to the rest which included a reminder about the renewal. I did exactly what they hoped I would do - I ignored the renewal notice. When we got hit with the renewal charge I contacted them the VERY next day and they basically said 'too bad'. So I am NOT at all happy with their sneaky " reminder" techniques. (realizing of course that it is always on me to cancel)

Avantages :

I liked their sales person. It was relatively easy to us.

Inconvénients :

Test only consist of 10 questions which aren't enough on certain topics. Also many of the questions can be answered in multiple ways leading to ambiguous scores. Once you rejected someone their names didn't disappear or go to another section. Just stayed there, presumably forever. So it gets cluttered when you use the same test repeatedly.

Simple, Intuitive Platform for All Pre-Employment Evaluation Needs

Commentaires : Hiring accounting staff requires both technical skills that can be difficult to test for (e.g. MS Excel skills, US GAAP, basic journal entries, etc.) in a standard interview format. TestGorilla has helped with providing an objective measurement on these skills to ensure we are getting a candidate who can do what their resume claims they can do without having to have a subjective q&a during the verbal interview.

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.

Alternatives envisagées : eSkill

Pourquoi passer à TestGorilla : I really liked the ease of use for both us setting up the system, as well as the end-user experience for potential candidates. We also like the modular exam build to customize the experience for both technical testing, as well as behavioral/organizational fit.

Simple, Useful Software For Candidate Testing

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....

TestGorilla helps online recruiting

Commentaires : It helped us a lot in the pre-employment coding assessment. It helped in sort listing the candidate based on the score is evaluated. Saves your time and money.

Avantages :

We were looking for some online coding platform with proctoring, then we found test gorilla. Compared to other platforms, it does a good value for money. You can set up online assessments in minutes without much hassle.

Inconvénients :

If more candidates are appearing on the test simultaneously, it is a little buggy. Customer support needs to be proactive.

Great platform for scale ups

Avantages :

It's easy to use, and I like the variety of test that offer. As well is pretty easy to send out the information.

Inconvénients :

I will work more in the way that the information is structured once you have results from the candidates. Like for example, when I use it for launching the DISC test, i would have preferred to filter and sort teh candidates per similar results. Would it be fantastic to have integrations with teamtailor.

Alternatives envisagées : Codility, Typeform et Mailchimp

Pourquoi passer à TestGorilla : Cheap, easy to use, and had the type of test I wanted. And actually I discovered more applications once I started to use the product,

TestGorills Does Exactly what is promised in the advertisements

Commentaires : Overall, TestGorilla is a great tool. As an assessment test creator and owner, I have also been challenged by some of the tests provided by TestGorilla.

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

Don't subscribe to TestGorilla

Avantages :

I didn't like nothing, and the customer service is the worst.

Inconvénients :

No trial, instant 1 year lock-in, no ability to cancel or stop auto-renewal

Beware of the fine gray print!!!

Commentaires : In my eyes, enforcing one year subscription in month-to-month payments is intentionally misleading the customers. Basically a scam

Avantages :

The tests are not terrible, but for the price they can do better.

Inconvénients :

Pricing is not clear on checkout and you may end up with One Year subscription that you cannot cancel

TestGorilla is a good an efficient tool for technical assessment of candidate skills

Commentaires : Overall, i think it's a great way to manage technical assessments

Avantages :

Easy to use and manage the candidate pipelines. Once the test is setup, it's very easy to send it to the candidates, track, and evaluate.

Inconvénients :

It's difficult to setup the test that's applicable to a developers' day-to-day. I receive complaints from some candidates that the interface is difficult to use, some OS compatibility issues and code editor doesn't always work as expected.

Really well thought candidates' test platform

Commentaires : it satisfied my needs for the selection of the candidated for 2 different developing positions without worrying if I had enough knowledge to evaluate the skills of the candidates

Avantages :

I found it really helpful for tech roles to select and test the capabilities of the applicants

Inconvénients :

I found it difficult to use it in a meaningful way for less technical roles

Bait and Switch

Commentaires : It was my go to system, until I renewed, now I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. So brutal with customer care and they take take take... stay clear.

Avantages :

They changed their billing options to remove features that are critical at the price you are paying and then when the system renews and now you don't want to use the system because it doesn't do what you want it to do they magically can't reverse the charges. They are criminal. Their customer service team is brutal too. They only communicate via email and ad zero value. Don't be fooled.

Inconvénients :

They let you start with features you get used to using at a rate that is manageable. Then they change their plans so the features you want to use you have to pay 10 times more for the following year.

TestGorilla - Easy to use for non-technical users

Avantages :

The pre-bulit assessments and how easy it was to send out to candidates for them to take the assessments.

Inconvénients :

Cost is a little high for only using for one job requisition. But, worthwhile if needing an outside assessment.

Finding a needle in a Hay Stack

Commentaires : Overall I like the concept of TestGorilla. I was able to create a test and easily choose questions to test potential candidates for the tole I was hiring for. I could also add custom questions and set time limits per question. While the summary of each test completed was neatly presented I would have liked if it had given and more in-depth analysis of the programming code provided and helped me in deciding if the candidate had the necessary skills rather than just a percentage score base on whether or not his/her code produced the expected result. Some candidates we interviewed based on there scores here were asked to do another practical code test and did quite well. When speaking to them in the interview they would say they were either intimidated by the online test or were confused by the mathematical questions and were not sure what to do. However, when asked to write a simple web page with a login etc they did this with no problem. TestGorila is great if you don't want to sit in lots of interviews with nonsuitable candidates and you can use this tool to choose those who might be suitable. TestGorilla alone though should not be used to decide whether or not to hire a candidate but does save a lot of time to you in the entire recruitment process

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

TG review

Commentaires : It’s good, like it, looking forward to to stepping up a level

Avantages :

Easy to use & fairly intuitive, modern software

Inconvénients :

It’s not very pleasing to look at as a candidate- that could be redesigned. Would be great if it were more gamified, have more pictures and not be so word heavy across most of the different assessments. The test where candidates pick their top 10 personal attributes/ behaviours/ competencies/ strengths & it’s meandered against what the client has pre selected that they’re looking for could be more sophisticated… we’ve had client feedback that they want us to measure competencies like this test, but that this is too basic/ more prone to people guessing what they think the client will want from them & putting that in rather than the truth… that’s possible in any test, yes, but other tests are better at having measures against that.

Waste of time and money

Commentaires : It did not go well at all.

Avantages :

The user interface is nice and professional. It's easy to administer

Inconvénients :

They claim to offer a "free trial where you can test anything". This is misleading - they make it appear you must upgrade your plan (minimum of $300) in order to try the tests. It is not clear you can test premium features without upgrading. I upgraded so I could try a couple of the tests (Laravel, PHP). I sent the tests to myself and realized they are terrible tests and don't provide any useful screening. So, I tried to use the "custom test" feature but it appeared I needed to upgrade again ($3600) in order to try it. After complaining and requesting a refund, they asked I do a 15-minute call with their CSM to discuss. I agreed with the stipulation that I expected a refund in exchange for my time on the call. After the CSM spent 25 minutes explaining how it was my fault, I got nothing for a refund and wasted a lot of time providing free feedback to them. In the end, it was a terrible experience, we spent $300 and got 0 value from their platform, they refused to issue a refund, and I wasted a bunch of time providing them feedback and writing this review. Lastly, they told me they cannot turn off the auto-billing on my account, only I can do that. However, they deactivated my account so I can't login. I guess we'll see if they auto-bill me for next year's subscription.

Product Review

Commentaires : Not good

Avantages :

The test categories are more than enough, so there is no category where we have a test.

Inconvénients :

It was costly & wasn't cost-efficient at all.

Easy to use applicant testing platform

Commentaires : Using test Gorilla has cut down on a lot of the administrative burden of assessing candidates. It's great for high volume hiring queues and receiving prompt, consistent feedback on test scores. A few of our candidates have experienced issues with completing tests (e.g., unclear instructions, aggressive time constraints), but overall the applicant experience (and my experience as administrator) have been positive.

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.

Powerful toop

Commentaires : Over great experience!

Avantages :

The app is easy to use and integrates already a great number of tests and questions ideas. It clearly makes the implementation easy.

Inconvénients :

The app misses some flexibility in terms of answer durations, amount of questions, etc. The candidate review process could clearly be improved (switch from one test to another, avoid popups, etc.).

Streamlined the Screening Process

Commentaires : It has definitely saved us time and the calibre of interviewees means are conversion form interview to hire has improved drastically.

Avantages :

Being able to direct our candidates to a branded assessment centre, which then takes a lot of the leg work out of CV screening, giving us the ability to quickly select the best candidates for the role. Having the options to create different assessments for different roles is great.

Inconvénients :

Unfortunately it does not link in to out recruitment software.

Very Useful Product!

Commentaires : - Overall, it has been very beneficial to our hiring process

Avantages :

- Easy to use from an administrative point - Easy to read results - Lots of variety in the assessments already made & the option to customize - Organized nicely: can view all results in the timing they come in or by best score

Inconvénients :

- Sometimes candidates aren't granted access so we have to go in on our side to figure out why/ get it resent - candidates cannot set up their account and then return to it to take the test. From our experience, if a candidate signs up and doesn't immediately take the assessment, they will not be let in when they return to do so. Unclear if it is a system or user error in this example.

First time user, now a life long customer.

Commentaires : We are very pleased with our experience. It allowed us to weed out candidates that did not have full working knowledge of the skill set that we needed for the position.

Avantages :

I really liked that I could customize the test for our specific hiring needs. I also liked that shorter personality tests were offered.

Inconvénients :

A couple of the navigation features within the dashboard took me a little longer to figure out, but overall I don't have anything glaring that I would say I didn't like.
