About the Customer success representative (SaaS) test
Empathetic, diplomatic, and solution-oriented: Companies need customer success representatives with the right qualities to represent their company's brand and educate customers on the value of their company's product. Technology companies, and SaaS (software-as-a-service) companies, in particular, need customer success representatives who can not only answer customer questions but can proactively take steps to resolve potential problems before they happen (again) or grow into bigger issues.
This customer success representative test evaluates candidates' ability to empathize with the customer to solve issues, and to communicate business decisions to the customer in a way that cultivates strong and long-lasting relationships. The test also assesses candidates' knowledge of the customer journey and their ability to take the right actions based on it.
Candidates who do well on this test understand the basic principles of proactive customer success and have experience dealing with various customer requests and misunderstandings. A strong showing on this test means a candidate who also understands the balance between issues they can solve themselves and when matters truly warrant escalation.
This test is appropriate for candidates with some experience in customer success roles (1-2+ years). For a higher-level test, see our customer success manager (SaaS) test.

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.
The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.
For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.
I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.
For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
