What do you like best about eSkill?

We use eSkill for all our hiring. It's a very easy-to-use platform. We love that we can customize the skills tests for any position, and eSkill's platform works seamlessly with our ATS and talent acquisition workflow. Our Client Service Manager is so helpful. We love eSkill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

Nothing. We've loved them for more than 6 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSkill solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use eSkill to make sure we hire candidates who have the skills we need to be successful. Marketing is very sophisticated today and requires special skills. It has sped up our hiring process.

What do you like best about eSkill?

The integration with Neogov is the most helpful. We also like that we can create our own questions. The support is responsive, so we do feel that we can reach out and get answers or help when we need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

One issue that impacts our operations, is that we have to keep all the tests active all the time for the integration to work. We like to deactivate the tests so that candidates can't access the test after the deadline, but providing a deactivation date will cause integration problems. There was also another time our test didn't integrate at all and we had to manually input the test scores, which is one of the main reasons we have eSkill in the first place - to integrate! We also are pretty unhappy with the selection of test questions. Most of them are targeted for positions that are completely unrelated to the positions we are recruiting for. There aren't many "basic concept questions". Most of the time we need to create our own questions for our tests, because the library eSkill provides has little value. We also have been told that the typing questions are somewhat inaccurate. Our candidates will do the typing question and then get a totally different wpm from an online test resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSkill solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are required to screen our candidates for best fit. ESkill helps achieve this by providing a platform that we can create our own tests that target specific skills and abilities to the position. Depending how well the candidates score, we can determine the best qualified candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eSkill?

The user interface of eSkill is very easy to use and makes creating and sending tests to applicants seamless. The ability to upload or select from current content has helped my organization quickly create numerous tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

The eSkill creator, where we can create and upload our own content, is sometimes a little buggy. This has caused us to lose some work when the site either stops working or doesn't save properly. This is not a huge issue as it hasn't happened often, but when it does, it's a bit inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSkill solving and how is that benefiting you?

For a very long time, all of our pre-employment tests were administered in person and graded by hand. This took up a lot of time and resources. Using TalentEd has allowed us to administer more tests and save us a significant amount of time by auto grading every test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eSkill?

I wholeheartedly recommend Eskill to fellow recruiters who are looking to streamline their recruitment process and make their work both more effective and enjoyable.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the significant efficiency gains Eskill brings to my recruitment process. In the past, a large portion of my time was consumed by sorting through numerous applications and conducting lengthy interviews. Now, I simply peruse the Eskill assessment results and pinpoint the top candidates. This not only saves time but also allows for more confident decision-making, thanks to the trust I've placed in Eskill's robust tests.

I wholeheartedly recommend Eskill to fellow recruiters who are looking to streamline their recruitment process and make their work both more effective and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

Indeed, while Eskill.com is an undeniably excellent recruitment tool, one aspect that could use improvement is the pricing per test, which would be more beneficial if made affordable for the budgets of smaller businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSkill solving and how is that benefiting you?

eSkill is addressing the challenge of effectively evaluating the skills and aptitude of job applicants, especially for specialized or technical roles. It provides well-structured and comprehensive assessment tests that remove the need for me to devise complex technical questions or interviews, thus simplifying the hiring process considerably.

What do you like best about eSkill?

The biggest benefit of eSkill to us is their Author tool and the ability to create our own assessments based on questions directly related to our industry. They also offer integrations with other online tools and ATS' which saves a tremendous amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

The only thing negative, and that's a big stretch to even use that word, would be eSkill's UI. I believe it could benefit from an upgrade and be more visually appealing to users. It seems outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSkill solving and how is that benefiting you?

eSkill has been a tremendous time saver, ensuring that our recruiters can spend time developing relationships and finding the best candidates, as opposed to manually reviewing tests and scoring for proficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about eSkill?

The situational questions/topic/job area. They will question your knowledge and put you to the test. Either way, you will learn about your strengths and weaknesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

The technical term/s are not that clear. Some questions appear complex, and most indicators are easy. Though there are three attempts for it, the time is not enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eSkill solving and how is that benefiting you?

The metric system measures skill/knowledge about a specific area/job. Though some questions are situational, they will test the examiner on real life situations and how they can handle them properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Profile Managers- our support staff is excellent workin with us and building out tests in order to make our lives easier. Meagan is awesome and we are lucky to have her. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

Lack of variability in questions- our organization needs multiple tests and questions of the same categories, and for us it has been difficult trying to build those out by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before, we used an outdated typing test in order to determine competency for our administrative assistants. Now, we are able to send these tests out on a mass scale with higher computer literacy knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use from within Bullhorn and creating tests is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eSkill?

There are opportunities to optimize the integration with Bullhorn; i.e. tests can't be cancelled at all for subscriptons that are integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can validate candidate skill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
