"Skill-Based Assessments That Speed Up Hiring and Improve Candidate Shortlisting"
4/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

What I like most about TestGorilla is its ability to evaluate candidates based on practical skills rather than just resumes. It provides a structured way to assess technical, cognitive, and communication abilities before moving candidates to the interview stage. Wide range of pre-built assessments for technical and non-technical roles. Customizable tests that can be tailored to specific job requirements. Automated scoring and detailed candidate reports. Anti-cheating features such as question randomization and monitoring. Easy candidate invitation and progress tracking. For me, the most valuable feature is the skill-based assessments. They help identify candidates who can actually perform the required tasks, making the hiring process more objective and reducing the reliance on resumes alone. The biggest benefit is better hiring efficiency. TestGorilla helps shortlist qualified candidates faster, reduces screening time, and improves the quality of interviews by ensuring only the most relevant applicants move forward.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

The biggest drawback is that a standardized assessment can't fully measure practical problem-solving or real-world experience. I still rely on technical interviews and coding discussions to evaluate how candidates approach complex scenarios, so TestGorilla works best as an initial screening tool rather than a complete hiring solution. Some pre-built assessments feel too generic and don't always reflect real-world job responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TestGorilla is an outstanding user-friendly tool for selection process assessments."
4.5/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

I must highlight its exceptional user-friendly nature and its multitude of useful features that greatly enhance the selection process assessments. The structured testing format, where applicants progress through sequential parts in a predetermined order without the ability to revisit previous questions, ensures a fair and standardized evaluation process. Additionally, the platform's recording of time for each section provides valuable insights into applicants' efficiency and performance. I was particularly impressed by the convenience of sending bulk invitations to candidates through a .xlsx file upload, streamlining the assessment process. Moreover, the platform's strong API access opens up a world of possibilities for customization and integration. A standout feature is its advanced event detection, including the ability to detect full-screen mode, mouse out, window switching, and camera-off events. The continuous picture capturing during evaluations adds an extra layer of security and monitoring. Additionally, candidates can provide feedback at the assessment's end, allowing us to improve continually. Overall, this platform is an outstanding choice for selection process assessments, providing a user-friendly interface, an array of useful features, and robust functionality.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

I would like to address a potential area for improvement. While the platform offers a wide range of impressive features, it would be beneficial to have the ability to customize spreadsheets in the future. This would allow for automated evaluation based on specific cell values, streamlining the assessment process even further. Incorporating this customization capability would greatly enhance the platform's functionality and provide additional convenience for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, flexible, and user-friendly assessment with strong AI suggestions"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

You have a full-fledged assessment in a quick and easy way that you can completely customize to your personal preferences. Trying it out for free the first time works well, you can already conduct a good basic test and clearly see which modules are included or not. YOU are guided through a menu in a user-friendly manner. Additionally, AI also makes good suggestions. For example, I entered a question myself and then AI came up with examples of what good answers could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

I couldn't immediately find where my last assessment was, but after a few clicks, I found it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily McKenzie of TestGorilla

Thanks for review Buster! We're glad the AI suggestions are doing their job. Happy hiring 💪🏼

"An almost perfect work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

The platform is highly intuitive and easy to navigate. I did not need any instructions to understand how to start and complete the test. The practice rounds before each actual test were an excellent feature, helping me calm my nerves and understand the format before the timer started. Additionally, the mix of coding tasks, multiple-choice questions and situational judgment responses made the entire assessment feel incredibly comprehensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

Once you submit an answer or skip a question, you cannot go back. This is frustrating if you realize you would like to change your mind or realize your mistake a moment later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily McKenzie of TestGorilla

We're glad to hear that you found our platform intuitive and easy to navigate, and that the practice rounds were helpful in calming your nerves. We really appreciate your feedback!

"TestGorilla helped me finding the best candidates for new positions"
5/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

Ease of use and relevant features that further improve the evaluation for new candidates. This is a key factor to filter out candidates based on their actual skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

Flexibility for a montly payment subscription and not having an annual commitment. This would be very helpful for those cases where a company doesnt hire too often new personal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clear, Efficient Platform with Valuable Skill and Personality Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

I like the easiness of using the platform its clear and straightforward information which is super efficient. I also like that its not only skill based options but also behavioural/personality categories to choose as well. The support team is great! i had a meeting once and learned so much about the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

I would say i dislike how much you have to read into the results and analyse it because sometimes the 'percentile' score and the 'raw' score make me feel like im choosing between which score to choose from if that makes sense. I also wish it was integrated to Seek or Employment Hero. Performance wise i wish we could choose more than 5 categories for the skill based section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily McKenzie of TestGorilla

We're glad that you find our platform both easy to use and efficient, and that our support team has been helpful.

We understand your feedback about the interpretation of scores and the integration with other platforms, and we'll take that into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

"Easy and Affordable"
5/5

It is so user friendly and honestly I can walk anyone through using the system within a 1/2 hour. so easy to use and the best on the market in my opinion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

I would say the cost should be less other products are much cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nikky K of TestGorilla

Hi Michele! Thank you for leaving us a review. We're constantly working on developing new tests for our test library, and appreciate the additional suggestion. We will share it with our team. Welcome to the TG community!

"Robust Candidate Assessment with Room for Streamlined Workflow"
4/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

I like TestGorilla's user interface; it's great and makes the experience smooth. I also appreciate the extensive number of tests available, which offers a lot of variety to choose from. Additionally, I find the cross-comparison between candidates to be particularly useful. Viewing by percentile, overall score, and doing the weightings between different tests makes the assessment process very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

I think that each job or role is listed independently, which is a bit frustrating. I'd like to be able to create a job that we're applying for and create different stages of tests, sending all applicants one test, maybe the free tests, and then another set for those who pass. But right now, I've got to create different jobs altogether for the same job, just different stages of the application process. I also think it'd be helpful to be able to try more test questions. Being able to ask more clarifying questions would be great. It's about collecting metadata or supporting information, like where candidates are based or their salary expectations, using dropdowns for collection. I also wish Google Forms was more integrated into TestGorilla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Test Gorilla for new hire insights"
4/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

Test Gorilla gives us valuable insights about candidates we are evaluating for employment that is supplemental to our interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

Some candidates are resistant to do online assessments like "Critical Thinking" and this sometimes slows down our filtering process (but is a standard we think should be enforced). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily McKenzie of TestGorilla

Hi Tony, thank you for your review - it's great to hear how TestGorilla has improved your hiring process!

We understand candidates are sometimes reluctant to take online assessments. We like to suggest prefacing the assessment invite with an explanation of how the assessment benefits them in the hiring process. If they're still not convinced, this may be a helpful resource to share: https://www.testgorilla.com/blog/what-to-expect-skills-assessment-test/.

Happy hiring!

"Ease and Dynamism in Candidate Selection with TestGorilla"
5/5
What do you like best about TestGorilla?

What I like most about TestGorilla is the ease of use of the program and how dynamic and fun it can be for both the user and the employer. It is very practical to set up the tests, which offer various options, including sending video questions and adapting and evaluating the tests with AI. The diversity of tests, including language and technical tests, is quite useful for our needs, especially for positions like junior engineers. The ease of use and the dynamism with which it is presented make it very attractive. I think it is one of the best platforms on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestGorilla?

There are few things I would say could be improved currently, such as expanding the new 'jobport' functionality beyond remote jobs and locations. Another improvement would be to allow for larger or longer tests, if necessary, for certain positions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily McKenzie of TestGorilla

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review, Guilherme! We're glad that TestGorilla not only helps fill those technical positions, but is also fun to use.

We appreciate your feedback back on the 'jobport' functionality and test length, we'll jeep that in mind as we continue to enhance our platform.
