Don’t take our word for it
Stella S.
It was easy to set up assessments and I like the selection of tests. It was really useful to see how all the candidates did on each test. It sped up the filtering and hiring process and has helped us focus on the people that could do the job. The interface is nice too, our candidates seemed to enjoy it as well. The process of narrowing the candidate pool has become quicker. It’s easier to see who has the right skills for our position.
Serena G.
TestGorilla streamlined the recruitment process. It is helping Emergento in the selection of the right candidates to grow our team and to scale quickly. The customer service is fast and helpful. It is an intuitive tool, with a wide range of tests, well designed for each job role. It improves the internal organization, boosting communication and it is a professional way to test candidates’ skills! Highly recommended!
Cristian B.
Awesome experience. The platform is easy to use and assessments are really helpful to test the knowledge of the candidates. I was able to filter out candidates without proper knowledge for the position we are hiring for.
Ruth W.
What’s not to like! There are so many different tests on offer which you can beating bundle (up to 5 tests) into an assessment. There are what seems like endless tests to choose from—from technical software development competencies to product, to customer success, to foreign language! The culture assessment is really nice and somewhat of a rarity, in addition to the usual personality types of testing.
Its UI/UX is really simple and clean to work with—easy for all hiring managers. It also lets us ‘brand up’ and embed our own videos/links to personalize which is something we already use really successfully. The anti-cheating feature was cool too—taking snapshots of screens at regular intervals helps us understand who really can do the job better.
Teresa L.
We are a small shop and do not hire on an ongoing basis. So many of the platforms I saw out there were designed for much bigger operations—and TestGorilla can certainly do that. But I so appreciate the fact that I was able to sign up for one month and get the testing I needed for a remote hire. I have just six candidates taking tests, and dollar for dollar I can’t think of a more valuable platform out there.
Rugved K.
The customer support and troubleshooting were the best.
I faced an issue with a TestGorilla test required for a job application. However, due to an organizational issue from the Test Creator, the test was no longer available and gave an error.
I wrote an email to TestGorilla’s customer support detailing the problem, they promptly replied to me within a day or two and also contacted the test creator.
The test creator was made aware of the issue quite quickly and the things were then resolved. I am glad that due to customer support, the error in the test didn’t compromise my job application. The employer wrote back to me acknowledging the issue and further steps of the job application.

The solution is very simple to use. It takes you through the steps to set up an assessment and highlights the recommended tests for that particular role. We had the system up and running in minutes and we upgraded the system within 2 days of using it.
Nathaly Adriana L.
I like that it is easy to use, and the tests are very variated. I think the platform is very complete and it allows not only recruiters but technical interviewers to set something up in order to make candidates screening and assessments. I like that the user interface is very minimalistic, very clean, and not complex at all. It is very suitable for the eyes while working on the platform. I absolutely love it.
Meena S.
The interface and test reports are awesome; The video recording of candidates responses are an added plus
Copper M.
TestGorilla offers a wide range of questions and tests available to make sure we find the right people for our company. They also offer a lot of VERY helpful tests that we never thought to use.
Kristel K.
Great selection of assessments, easy to find assessments for different job positions. It really helps to save valuable time and to pick out the best candidates based on their relevant skill skills.
Marius G.
Jasper M.
TestGorilla saved me time and money. I like the variety of tests that we have used to hire software developers and data scientists. The platform is easy to use and easily connects to other software that we are using.
Ariel H.
Fantastic product! Easy to use! I truly liked how simple the site is. You can use the platform without needing to be coached! Everything was easy to understand and pretty self-explanatory, which is nice when having a tool that does so much!
Luyanda J.
The tests are impressive and there are many to choose from, especially for culture and critical thinking.
Sebastian A.
Just what I was looking for. Easy way to create an assessment, adding tests to it, sending them to candidates.
I love the way it shows the results and recommendations.
Defining the values and culture of my company and make tests to understand if the candidate fits that culture is great and very helpful. Also, the cognitive and personality tests help me to decide better.
The anti-cheating monitor is an ally to see how the candidate responds to the questions made.
Laura S.
TestGorilla is a great way to measure candidates’ skills. The amount of options when choosing tests was plentiful. Also, the amount of tests available for several different positions was great because usually, you see tests for just accounting or typing. We found tests for COO, digital marketing, SEO, and several other positions. You can measure not only skill but attention to detail etc.
James D.
TestGorilla is simple and easy to use. The price is very reasonable, and it is straightforward and intuitive to use. Most other platforms have exorbitant rates, which are inaccessible for a small startup like us. Also, the tests are very well structured and differentiate very well the abilities of each candidate.
Dan T.
Incredibly easy to use interface and very fast setup of each test. Good variety of assessments and sleek UI/UX experience for both candidate and employer. Really like the fact that as an employer you are able to send one link to candidates and they are able to “invite” themselves to a test. This means that once we decide a user should be moved to this stage in the process, rather than having to create a new test each time, the user is able to access the relevant test, and then the results are shared with us on our dashboard. The service is also “ready to use” which means when you sign up, you can launch tests almost immediately without any fiddly integrations or onboarding.
Yannick B.
A straightforward, affordable but customizable testing tool.
Waleed F.
I’m really surprised by the whole TestGorilla idea! It’s fascinating what this platform does!
