"Wonderlic Select’s AI insights help us consistently hire top candidates"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Wonderlic?

The Wonderlic Select assessment has helped our company place and hire top candidates for many years. Wonderlic's continuous improvements with helpful AI analysis of candidates' results in recent years has astronomically improved our hiring outcomes and I strongly believe that as our company continues to grow, we can expect to continue hiring great fits with Wonderlic's help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wonderlic?

One thing we've found is that we lack oversight of the automated communications that go out to candidates when we do a manual push or when we want to send re-tests. We would prefer to have control over what verbiage is sent out, to help improve the candidate experience, and to make their testing process feel less automated and more personalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Wonderlic has helped our company to source candidates with a greater level of attention to detail and all of the great things that are looked at in the Cognitive Skills portion of the assessment, which in turn has greatly helped us improve our level of quality control and efficiency in many ways. As a manufacturing company, these are vitally important factors.

Wonderlic has also helped us determine which candidates have the strongest level of motivation for a given role, and what's great about Wonderlic is that we can then copy their results over to other opportunities we have available to compare them and find the right candidate for the right opportunity. The motivation portion of the assessment is a great asset to us, as it realistically summarizes how and why someone may or may not be a great fit for a given role.

We have found over the years that knowing about a candidate's personality before an interview helps us to set realistic expectations and adjust our communication style. This area also helps us make informed decisions on which candidates are going to be the best fit with the department for which we are hiring, or the team they'll be working in.

"Useful tool, additional insights added"

4.5/5

"Comprehensive, Intuitive Hiring Assessments Customized by Role"

5/5

What do you like best about Wonderlic?

Wonderlic is a comprehensive and intuitive way to evaluate the success of a potential hire. It doesn't just assess a person's personality but gives a well-rounded picture of what we can expect from them in terms of personality and performance. It's easy to administer and is customized for the position which they apply to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wonderlic?

The only downside is that I believe some of the questions on the "Motivation" section can be a bit redundant and not applicable to the position in which someone is applying to, so results are not always true to form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Wonderlic is helping us solve the challenge of understanding candidates more holistically and accurately. By combining cognitive ability, personality, and motivation into one assessment, it gives us a clearer picture of whether someone can do the job, wants to do the job, and how they’ll approach the work. This has improved our ability to predict job fit, streamline hiring decisions, and ultimately build stronger, longer‑lasting teams. We strive for a positive work environment and low turnover, which is why we use Wonderlic as part of the hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient Virtual Testing, but Data Comparison and LE Personality Model Need Rework"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Wonderlic?

Enables the agency to administer cognitive testing virtually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wonderlic?

I dislike that the system uses job applicant data to predict the success of other applicants in a given role. In my opinion, it should only use data from individuals who were actually hired for a given role or, even better, who have been serving in that role for at least a few years. Additionally, the personality feature needs to be recalibrated for law enforcement positions. If Wonderlic were to survey LE officers across the country, I can guarantee that "Enterprising" would not be their most dominant personality trait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wonderlic has dramatically reduced our turnover rate!"

5/5

What do you like best about Wonderlic?

Candidates who follow through with the Wonderlic assessment are genuinely interested in the job and not just clicking a button to submit a resume with no effort. Customer support has been fantastic and the system is very easy to use. I have used the system on a continual basis for over 2 years now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wonderlic?

I would be helpful if we as the employer could actually read the job profile that is chosen based on key words we enter for the title. Would then be more reassuring that the job profile is actually a match with what we are recruiting for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
