Introducing TestGorilla 2.0: The evolution of sourcing and evaluation

3min

Emma closed her laptop, feeling drained. Another afternoon spent manually sorting resumes and arranging interviews. Right now, TestGorilla has made evaluating candidates simpler through clear, skills-based assessments. But she knew the hiring process could still be easier and faster.

At TestGorilla, we saw this, too. While our vast library of skills tests helped thousands of businesses make confident hiring choices, we realized that skills test-based evaluation alone wasn't enough.

What's changing?

This year, we're transforming into TestGorilla 2.0 by expanding our evaluation capabilities and introducing powerful candidate sourcing—all in one platform.

How our evaluation product is expanding

So far, more than 20,000 companies have utilized our 300+ skills tests to shortlist candidates based on measurable soft and role-specific skills.

We are now adding additional evaluation tools, beyond skills tests, to enrich the data points available for a more detailed candidate profile:

AI job interviews: Role-specific and behavior-focused asynchronous interviews provide deeper insights into candidates' performance in a real work environment.
Work experience evaluation: Evaluate relevant candidate experiences, automatically parsed and scored by our platform.

The introduction of automated scoring complements these features. Using our trained AI model, you can quickly and fairly assess candidate responses to open-ended Custom Questions, AI interviews, and work experience.

By utilizing our AI recommender throughout the assessment creation process, you can ensure that your assessments are of high quality and consistency. For example, you can simply paste a job description into the AI recommender, and we will suggest the most relevant skill tests and custom questions for you using our skills-data trained AI model. No guesswork involved!

As we add AI-based features to help you assess more quickly and objectively, candidates will see a change too. To prevent cheating and preserve the reliability of assessment scores, we are enhancing our anti-cheating measures with features such as anti-cheating scores and ID verification.

This is TestGorilla Assess.

Introducing talent sourcing

To complement enhanced evaluation, we're launching a powerful candidate sourcing product:

Access to a million skills-verified candidates: Quickly search through pre-validated talent from our extensive candidate database, dramatically speeding up your sourcing process.

This is TestGorilla Sourcing.

The big picture: A unified hiring platform

Imagine the ease of finding skill-verified candidates and evaluating them fully in one platform:

Instantly generate a tailored assessment based on your unique job description
Invite skills-tested, vetted candidates directly within TestGorilla.
Auto-scoring each candidate on skills tests, AI interviews, and work experience evaluations, creating a skills-data-backed candidate profile.

TestGorilla 2.0 isn’t just adding features; it's reshaping how you hire. Our unified approach means fewer platforms, less complexity, and more confidence in every decision.

For you, this means

Expand your talent pool with candidates who have been pre-vetted for various skills.
Make confident shortlisting decisions using additional evaluation data points, AI recommendations, and automated scoring that help you deeply understand a candidate’s fit for the role.
Reduce time spent on unqualified candidates or those using AI-cheating tools by automated top-of-funnel screening that filters out distractions and highlights genuine talent.

Emma opens her laptop again, excited for the first time in weeks. TestGorilla 2.0 means fewer headaches and better hires.
