Recruiter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
I am very satisfied with the ease of use of this platform, from creating a customized evaluation for my specific hiring goals to reviewing their scores, and keeping track of recruitment status. The candidates also appreciate the simplicity and clarity of the process. They especially enjoy the mobile compatibility and the ability to complete the assessment on their phone.
Small-Business(50 or fewer emp.)
I really appreciated the selection of tests categorized by role and level of responsibility. The selection of tests is also very vast - some of them I didn't know but it's great that the tool suggests what is relevant. The option to test the setup internally is also very useful. The free version allows you to access quite a solid set of tests, although the premium brings an even better selection of course.
