At a glance: TestGorilla vs. SeekOut

TestGorilla is a complete talent discovery platform designed to help hiring teams source, screen, and shortlist candidates based on real, validated skills. It includes access to a growing pool of over 2 million pre-assessed candidates, alongside 350+ multi-measure tests covering cognitive ability, programming, personality, and more. Recruiters can use AI-powered resume scoring and both one-way and conversational AI interviews to evaluate candidate fit before the first call—all in a single workflow.

SeekOut is primarily a talent intelligence and sourcing platform offering access to 800M+ public profiles via open web aggregation. While it excels at outbound search and diversity filters, it does not offer a built-in skills test library, AI video interviews, or integrated candidate scoring. Users must export profiles or rely on manual filtering and third-party tools to validate candidate fit.

TestGorilla includes built-in security features that ensure assessments are fair and reliable. Anti-cheating tools include copy-paste disable, full-screen tracking, webcam monitoring, and auto-flagging of suspicious behavior. Assessment content is randomized and hidden from employers to prevent misuse, and results are time-stamped and proctored to maintain integrity across roles.

SeekOut does not include candidate testing or any form of proctoring, as it is not an assessment platform. While it offers strong data security for user accounts and sourcing pipelines, there are no native tools to ensure assessment fairness, integrity, or test security, as these functions are not part of the product.

TestGorilla enables fully branded assessments, including custom intro/outro videos, localized tests in 12+ languages, and candidate-friendly mobile test access—no login required. Employers can easily add custom questions and tailor assessments to fit specific job roles or team preferences, ensuring a consistent and engaging candidate experience.

SeekOut supports custom filters, boolean search, and CRM-style workflows for candidate engagement, but does not offer test customization or assessment branding. Since it is not a skills assessment platform, candidate experience is limited to sourcing communication, without interactive screening or structured assessment workflows.

TestGorilla uses a transparent, usage-based pricing model that scales with your hiring needs, no seat limits or hidden fees. Credits can be used across sourcing, assessments, and interviews, and a free-forever plan is available for teams getting started with skills-based hiring.

SeekOut operates on an annual, per-seat license model with no public pricing. Costs vary by tier and feature set (e.g., AI filters, DEI analytics, API access). There is no free plan and no built-in support for candidate assessment, interview structuring, or resume scoring.

Why search when you can shortlist proven performers?

Why our users love us

TestGorilla is super easy to use. It's something I didn't realize I needed. I liked the quick responses from surveys sent out to potential hires. Depending upon what I send them, I can get a pretty good idea from their answers about whether they fit the job.
