About the US Employment Law test

The benefits of hiring candidates with strong employment law knowledge include greater organizational adherence to federal, state, and local laws, improved employee relations, lower risk of lawsuits and legal actions, and cost and time savings associated with using in-house legal expertise.

This test evaluates candidates’ abilities to interpret and apply employment laws related to discrimination, civil rights, retaliation, workplace policies and employment practices, compensation and benefits, employee leave, and remote work.

Candidates who do well on this test possess the foundational knowledge to create and enforce a framework that promotes legal, ethical, inclusive, nondiscriminatory, and respectful behavior at all levels of the organization.

Review from G2

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.
