"High quality and easy to use candidate assessment platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Alva Labs?

From the recruiter's perspective: Easy to set up and use. Defining a role fit is easy yet extensive. The ranking of candidates is visual and simple. The assessment areas give a broad picture of the profile.

From the candidate's perspective, it is fast and easy to do the tests. When done, the candidate gets a good summary of their profile (and is able to save it for later). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alva Labs?

The results expire in a year. (E.g. personality might develop, but logic test scores usually don't change or develop within a year). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So much more than just a test supplier"
5/5
What do you like best about Alva Labs?

Super user friendly, great feedback, great integrations. Also, I get so much support from the customer success manager with more things than just the software. If you need an input on anything connected to people & culture - turn to Alva. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alva Labs?

The only thing I am lacking is the possibility to build teams and see potential challenges within teams based on the test results. There was something like that when I started to usa Alva, but I do not think it is there anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High potential but very low consistency in quality and delivery"
1/5
What do you like best about Alva Labs?

Smooth integrations, UX is comfortable.

The fact that you can test high volumes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alva Labs?

Reliability and consitency of test-results is low. Unfortunately i have had the experience many times, that the same candidate has very different scores. This does not only make the user experience worse but also the candidate experience.

Also there is a high churn in employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josh Spencer of Alva Labs

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. I'm sorry that your experience indicates that our tests have low validity and/or reliability.

Even though the validity and reliability of our assessments remain at an excellent level according to European standards (evidence linked below and in technical manuals), there are certain situations where a candidate's result might change more than expected – for instance, if they were disturbed, distracted, stressed, anxious, or tired during test-taking.

In general, we allow candidates to re-share existing results for up to 24 months to avoid the need for them to retake our assessments regularly. Though, as is the case with all psychometric assessments, results can vary across two different test-taking sessions. Therefore test-retest reliability is very important for any test.

I have linked an article on the reliability of our personality assessment for you to review. We have published help centre articles on the reliability and validity of both our personality and logical ability assessments as well as our full technical manuals for transparency. We have built our tests on Item Response Theory to ensure we have excellent tests with the ability to improve even more over time.

Please reach out to me directly at josh@alvalabs.io in case you have further questions or would like some support!

All the best,

Josh

5/5
What do you like best about Alva Labs?

Alva Labs is a crucial step in finding the best talent for us. It helps us find the right fit, as well as making our selection process more efficient and objective. We also receive great support from our success Manager not only about the platform but also in inspiration and material for team development and other people practises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alva Labs?

There are no clear disadvantages or anything that we are dissatisfied with. In the beginning, it wasn't completely intuitive to navigate all aspects of the portal. But we have always gotten quick and great support in finding our way. Maybe we should have listened better during the onboarding :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy customer since 2020"
5/5
What do you like best about Alva Labs?

Very easy to get started, outstanding candidate experience. The Alva team is ambitious, experienced and relentless in its quest to change the world of assessment tests. This is evident in every encounter with them and as a client/user/administrator this is very engaging and important. Also, Alva really makes an effort to understand our business and way of working, so that the implementation is fine-tuned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alva Labs?

The simplicity is great but also a little deceiving -general capabilities tests and personality tests may be easy to understand but the interaction with candidates is still very important and there is a need for guidance also for very experienced recruitment professionals.
