TestGorilla

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.

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.

Avantages

TestGorilla has a vide variety of tests and based on scientifical approach combined with strong practical expertise of TG team. TG reduces your time for screening and preliminary interviewing of employees. Once the test passed you can go to screening of portfolio [technical staff] or references list [management] not using time for more interviews of more you actually need to judge the choice to hire.

Inconvénients

Some tests, especially for soft skills have a lot of questions - it splits focus and some can be not clear answered. Technical - needed Prospective June level for rising stars to be choosen cause some programming level tests are hard to pass, it makes reliability but does not help to employer to save costs. There is lack of integration with platforms for remote hire of contractors: UpWork, Glassdoor, Toptal. I wish TestGorilla will cooperate with large institution it make it more popular.

Pourquoi passer à TestGorilla

Avantages

Very user friendly, super easy to find the correct assessments. Plus, they offer templates and automated responses.

Inconvénients

I wanted to create an assessment with 5 different test, but this was not possible, as 4 is the maximum per assessment.

Avantages

It is an easy-to-use assessment platform

Inconvénients

Poor company policy on annual payments, Insufficient technical tests, inability to fully assess technical competencies.

Avantages

The ability to accurately identify candidates that leave the testing environment, as well as the live tracking and volume of tests.

Inconvénients

The pricing structure. For a startup, a monthly plan would suit best.

Avantages

The possibility to integrate custom questions and pre made ones, I also liked the anti cheating system and the dashboard

Inconvénients

The one year subscription only did not allow us to buy the subscription at this time, we would have definitely move forward if the monthly subscription was available

Avantages

Love being able to build my own test with premade test templates, but also that I am able to create my own questions.

Inconvénients

So many features are in the premium. Unless you really want the bottom tier basic you have to upgrade.

Avantages

I liked that it standardizes candidate evaluation and removes the bias. I've done the tests myself and they are amazingly built.

Inconvénients

Nothing at the moment, the free version is a bit limited so I may eventually move to a priced plan. However, it's still a great tool as is.

Avantages

The programming tests are very comprehensive and measures the time it takes the test taker to provide answers.

Inconvénients

Pricing is on an annual contract basis. It would be easy to decide to subscribe if it was on a monthly payment and contracting basis.

Avantages

It's making our assessment easier and more objective.

Inconvénients

None so far. The only feedback I have is that I started using TestGorilla during the maintenance period.

Avantages

The very important aspect of offering multiple test based assessment, that goes just beyond technical skills and and soft skillss

Inconvénients

it cant be used for some kind of technical skill based assessment like coding

Avantages

I did not like this product. No positives for me. I think the time allocations per assessment battery are also questionable.

Inconvénients

There are no real practice tests. The verbal reasoning test passage is lengthy and so are the corresponding answers for selection.

Avantages

Great tests inside of the portal to really screen candidates

Inconvénients

The customer services is shady. There are certain things not mentioned in the small print. Whether you pay monthly or annually they hold you to a year commitment and don't break it down until its too late. Customer services doesn't respond but the sales team will connect with you in 5 minutes. All I can say is RUN!

Avantages

Testgorilla assessments helped me close a position in just a weeks time. So if you have a proper sourcing channel test gorilla can help you reduce the decision making cycle.

Inconvénients

the pricing model docent really favours small scale organisations especially in India, since the no of applications per job are very high so it limits us to use testgorilla tests as funnel for filtering out candidates. Qualifying questions are not good enough to filter out candidates.

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.

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

Avantages

This platform is a game changer. My favourite features are: The variety of tests, the ability to create specific links for different applicant sources, the automated rejections process and the downloadable excel reports which allow for filtering and sorting data and tracking responses from different advertisements. I love how much time it saves and how easy it is to use.

Inconvénients

We have had some minor glitches with the technology periodically but these have been quickly addressed by the support team.

Avantages

-The system was easy and fast to implement.
-I was very impressed with its ability to accurately assess my MBTI type with few questions. (I'm certified in MBTI)
-The price was easy to accept as a small business.
-The assessments were difficult to allow for differentiation between candidates.

Inconvénients

-I added some custom questions that were not HTML friendly and this nullified the whole assessment including non-related ones, that a candidate took and I had to approach the candidate to take the assessment again which didn't show well on me. Tech support had to fix my specific test, but I wonder if they will re-code the platform to accept multiple 'spaces' in a question. I think the platform is too new to be reliable.
-The tech support did not provide me with another credit after having an assessment was nullified.
-The tests were too difficult for more junior positions.
-There were few options to customize the delivery of the assessment. (e.g, add more custom questions than 10, have the platform notify the administrator that an assessment was complete)
-With custom questions, even though you select the correct answer, the system did not 'mark' or give me a percentage correct.
-The platform doesn't inform you when an assessment is complete (at the time of writing this review, I don't know if they would correct it after this review.)
-Only a few dozen tests are available and the majority are for coding and hi-tech.

Avantages

It's easy to create your own test suite, and selecting predefined tests helps with getting started quickly. I also like the as-they-type code view - it helps to get an idea of how the developer constructs a solution - and I appreciate the automated screenshots (to my surprise all the candidates accepted video captures).
I also like the logical thinking tests, although there's not really a way to see the users responses (this goes for all the questions).

Inconvénients

I found some of the tests to be lacking in quality, sometimes resulting in frustration from the developer, or unhelpful results. For example:
* the advanced SQL test is not a realistic scenario, and only has 2 outcomes: success or failure. It makes it hard to get an idea of the developers grasp of the subject, because it's just 1 giant assignment. If you get 90% right, you score 0 points.
* the Laravel test does not really test the developers ability to use the framework in real life situations, but rather tests for static knowledge.
* I found the PHP tests to be too simple and sometimes just poorly constructed (for example the prefilled function and parameter names are not great)

I also created a custom PHP test, but the outcome verification has a bug, which will sometimes accept wrong answers (error status === true).

I would have liked to see the users responses to multiple choice questions. Because of the randomness in the questionnaires, you don't know which questions they got. It would be helpful to see if maybe a user got dealt a couple of poor questions (and there are a few). It's a shame that (as a paying customer) this information is not revealed.

Avantages

The ability to customize tests with self selection from the array provided helps the test be more specific to what we need verification of before hiring for a high demand position.

Inconvénients

The test options are plentiful but some are confusing, the inability to do more than see 2-3 questions preview makes it hard to know if the test truly matches what you need without taking the test yourself (which should be Free to allow admin to do so and verify the test matches company needs).
The timed feature on self made test questions should be more flexible, 2 minutes is unfortunately not enough time for longer test questions with lots of detailed options for slow readers.
The inability to change a test after its been sent to an applicant means multiple versions of the same test for the same position now exist and theres no way to "label" it to know which version has which testers, forcing me to open each option and look through the test names to find who im looking for.
More tests that are less corporate office and a few more options that match small business needs (such as time management questions which fit more corp settings than small 3 man office).

Avantages

TestGorilla is an excellent way to assess candidates prior to interviewing. This initial screening makes the interview far more productive which saves us time and allows us to find the gems amongst a pile of CVs.

Inconvénients

I find the pricing plan structure a little strange. In some ways, the free plan is preferable to the Pay as You go plan, in that it has unlimited assessment and candidate credits for the free tests.Based on this, The Pay as You Go plan, should also also have unlimited assessment and candidate credits for the free tests.I would also like to have the ability to completely delete an assessment rather than just archiving it.

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.

Avantages

The question bank and proctoring function.

Inconvénients

The automatic grading function can be improved. Feel quite hard to reach out to the support

Avantages

Good tests, ease of use, great customer service

Inconvénients

The price is not clearly stated, it is confusing on why you are charging for assessments, i think you need a clearer pricing module.

you also need to add more business related tests, i was looking for anything in logistics but there is nothing.
The test scoring doesn't allow me to see the actual answers provided and what are the correct answers.

I use manatal for recruitment and it would be great if both solutions can be integrated
