Easy to Use
Our Account Manager is friendly and very attentive.
PROSMany assessment choices over a wide variety of topics. It has proven very accurate, as the skill levels reflected in the tests are right in line with candidates' capabilities after they start a new position.
CONSNothing stands out. It is easy to use, or to find reports whenever needed.
Vendor Response
Bobby-thanks for your feedback. Happy to hear the tests are good predictors of job performance. That's the goal, right? Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Good for candidate quick view
The customer service I have received is always fantastic.
PROSI have found that the assessments we use can give us a quick indicator into certain areas although are not always accurate in terms of proficiency. There is a good range of tests although I wish some of the identity type tests could be more customized.
CONSThe customized tests leave a lot to be desired. The quick grading percentages do not always seem to add up to the actual right/wrong.
Reasons for switching to EmployTest
I was looking for something easier for candidates.

Pretty decent tool
It has been fine to use, I have been using the tool since 2013.
PROSIt is easy to send links to candidates and has quite a few options for testing.
CONSI wish there was more features for the Microsoft Office Suite - We test a lot of Outlook and the 365 is very difficult, so I test on the 2010 becuase it is more user friendly as I don't want to scare applicants away with the 365 version. Also,iIt isn't compatable with MAC products.
Reason for choosing EmployTest
Ease of signing up and purchasing and it had the tests we were looking for.
Vendor Response
Thanks Stephanie for your comments and for being a customer for 8 years now. Our tests do work on the Safari browser but they don't cover the MAC Office version. Test topics are formatted for the PC version of Office We have test customization options for Microsoft Office tests, including Outlook, so we'll connect with you to make sure you can test applicants at the right level. We have hundreds of questions for Office so we'll create a test that hits the difficultly level you need (beginner->advanced). Thanks again for using EmployTest since 2013!

A great alternative for software testing
Happy to say that the tool does the job just as well as any other more costly competitors.
PROSThe software was easy to set up and use. I was looking for an alternative to the Kenexa Prove It! tests and this one works just as well and doesn't lock you into a contract.
CONSI have not come across any cons worth bringing up to date. The layout could use some refreshing but since that has no impact on the results, I don't stress over it.
Reason for choosing EmployTest
COST. I chose EmployTest over Kenexa Prove it! because it didn't require that I sign a 1 year contract. The software is just as easy to set up and use.
Vendor Response
Thanks Richard for the positive review. It's true that we don't require an expensive annual contract--you just buy on a "pay as you go" plan, based on usage. You also have access to 100+ test titles (EEOC compliant, validated tests). We look forward to continuing the relationship with you for years to come.

Helping us to make better decisions
It helps us make better choices in the hiring process - we are a better organization because of EmployTest.
PROSEmployTest helps us discover key traits in job applicants. Many times, we feel these candidates have these traits, but using the testing allows us confirmation by an independent means. It also allows us to target follow-up interview questions in areas where we may have some concerns.
CONSNothing - very happy with this product.

Great product at an affordable price
As an HR Director, I've used EmployTest in two different school districts and have found it to be an invaluable resource in helping us to objectively measure candidates' skills.
PROSWe were impressed by the array of assessment offerings as well as the ease of administration through the website.
CONSThe prior platform used for test administration was a bit challenging, but the newer version is much easier to navigate.

EmployTest Review
Overall, my experience with employ test has been positive and it has helped our institution become much more consistent when evaluating candidates making our hiring process much more equitable and fair for all involved.
PROSWhat I enjoy most about this product is the conveniences of it. It makes it much easier for candidates to access this product from where they are. Testing has become much easier on our end thanks to employ test. Lastly, we are fans of the instant test results that are sent via email, this has helped us become more fair and consistent across the board.
CONSThe least favorite thing about this software is that fact that sometimes it takes candidates a while to catch on how to navigate the simulation system. Also, the system will give candidates and incorrect answer mark if they attempt to complete the task via a "shortcut" in the software. If the system allowed for shortcuts it would all us to still accurately rate and score candidates.
Vendor Response
Thank you Danaisa for your feedback. We appreciate our customers in the Higher Ed field. Yes, remote testing does make it easier on your candidates to complete the tests and the instant results allow you to move candidate more quickly through the process. Our Office tests do accept shortcuts, where available, in our simulated test screens. We'll connect with you on that. Thank you again!

CONSWhile I do like how the overviews are written. I dont like that we get an overview of results and we aren't able to see exactly what people answered. It would be helpful to know which questions made up the results and where someone answered less than others.

Great assessments, terrible dashboard
The assessments appear to be about as non-biased as you can find. The assessments are the star here. The dashboard is a pain.
PROSReally do not like having to order the assessments and also pay for more credits. Very time consuming and repetitive.
CONSThe dashboard is very old school and is not very user-friendly.

"The assessments are the star". That's great feedback about how our tests are helping your hiring process.

How Employ test helps us find the best candidates
Amazing support when you need it. Ease of use so you don't often require assistance. Once it is set up the way you like you never have to change it. We set it up and then wanted to change out some questions - no problem!
PROSEasy to set up and easy to use. Not to mention the PREPARATION and getting the right questions for our firm. We had help all along the way with customizing the test to suit our needs.
CONSNot really anything comes to mind - maybe change the payment style to a bundle... Instead of a charge for each individual test charge for 1, 2 or 3 modules for small savings. But we have Zero complaints with the product itself.
