TestGorilla review
Best for: non-technical skills and cognitive tests for small businesses.
TestGorilla lets a small employer assemble a short assessment from a library of pre-built tests: numerical reasoning, attention to detail, customer service, Excel, language proficiency and more. Candidates complete it before interviews, which removes résumé screening for volume roles.
The free plan allows limited tests; paid plans are priced by company size. Specialist technical teams will prefer CodeSignal or HackerRank.
