About HR Avatar

HR Avatar tests help busy managers hire people who perform better, get along with the team, and stay in the job. 200+ tests for the most popular jobs. Whole-person approach provides a detailed report of cognitive abilities, knowledge and skills, personality, emotional intelligence, risky behaviors, plus a bonus interview guide. Tests use simulations of job-related tasks with better results while providing higher candidate engagement. Live video interviews, remote proctoring, reference checks.

Once a candidate applies, recruiters can send them an off-the-shelf test created by HR Avatar, or a custom test created by the company. During the test, candidates experience a work simulation that tests skills and aptitude that are necessary to successfully perform the job. Once the candidate is done, the recruiter receives a notification with the results of the candidate’s test so they can make a decision about the applicant’s fit for the job.

HR Avatar offers different types of assessments to fit your unique needs. Choose from job-specific tests that include everything and individual assessments that target specific skills and competencies.

Test types include: Job-Specific 'All-in-One'...

Functionality

Pros:

The software is video interactive, simulating real life situations that a candidate could encounter. Tests may be mailed out individually or in an email blast - I have the option of sending none or multiple reminders that the link is waiting for a candidate. and I am notified as soon as candidate has completed the test. The summary is both graphically represented and has a written summary. The assessment review has great follow up questions to ask if your candidate scores in an area that is other than what you are looking for.

Cons:

Some of the technical assessments were not what we needed for a particular skill-set - However, HR Avatar is very open to customizing a test for us or anyone else.

Thank you for this review Jan!

HR Avatar - A Great Recruiting Resource!

Since we became a customer of HR Avatar 4 years ago, they have been a great recruiting resource! Overall, the tests we use provide us with valuable insight and the ability to make informed candidate decisions. The test results have proven to be accurate when the selected candidate begins working.

Pros:

The value for the money! I love that we can issue test batteries! They have been a great tool for our recruiting needs. In addition, the Customer Support has always been above and beyond, especially when I needed to create a custom test. The service team is quick to respond and thorough in ensuring my needs are met.

Cons:

Some of the tests do not fit our work environment. This is not to say that the tests are not valuable, but our work environment is not your typical office setting. I would like to see some levels of complexity for the proofreading tests. We are in a legal environment where punctuation and grammar are really important.

Reasons for choosing HR Avatar

The value for the money was important because we are a government agency. We also appreciated the ability to create test batteries and combine reference checks into the process. The presentation of the results was also important to us and HR Avatar checked all the boxes.

Reasons for switching to HR Avatar

Our testing was administered by a different agency. Due to limited ability to schedule testing we needed to administer the tests in house. We also wanted a product that gave the candidates an ability to take the testing on their own time, rather than be onsite for 2+ hours.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and provide such great feedback! Hearing that the assessment results are proven to be accurate once a new candidate starts working is the ultimate goal. We also appreciate your feedback about more complex proofreading tests. Our best ideas come from our customers, so we will look into more of those options for the future.

Our organization appreciates the built in test. This makes it easier for us to initiate testing for basic skills that pertain to Microsoft, Excel, and Math testing.

Cons:

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your review and feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulty with the custom test builder. We are working on providing more support for building tests, which will hopefully address some of these concerns.

Reasons for choosing HR Avatar

We chose HR Avatar because it offers function-specific questions tailored to various roles, pre-made tests for quick deployment, and tools to assess candidates' writing skills, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of both technical and communication abilities efficiently.

Reasons for switching to HR Avatar

Thank you so much for your review and feedback. We understand how candidates can get discouraged from long tests, which is why we also offer short versions when possible.

HR Avatar Making Recruiter's Life Easier

My overall experience in HR Avatar is really good. Although there are a few things I wish we could change in future updates, it does not affect the whole experience from sending out the HR Avatar exam to analyzing its results and to sending reference checks to candidates.

Functionality

Pros:

I like that the website offers a reliable hassle-free employee background verification, hassle-free in a sense that you won't have to contact their references to follow up.

Cons:

The feature I find the least likeable in whole of HR Avatar is the way how you look/search for a specific candidate and their records (HR Avatar Exam and/or Reference check records) as there is no easier way available that will let you just type in a candidate's name and not have to select from what date the exam/reference check has been taken.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and leave such helpful feedback! Our best updates and improvements come from our clients. We will review the search feature and see if that can be improved. Also, we'd love to hear more of the things you would like to see changed. We are in the middle of making some significant updates and would love to review your ideas to see if we can incorporate them. Please email our team or contact support@hravatar.com if you'd like to share more. We truly value your insight. Thank you! *Update: The search feature has been added that allows you to quickly search by candidate's name on the home page once you log in. Thank you again for your feedback!

I have been thoroughly impressed with HR Avatar and the incredible value it brings to the hiring process. Their assessments go far beyond simple multiple-choice questionnaires — they provide a truly holistic evaluation of candidates by measuring not only job-relevant skills and knowledge but also soft skills, personality traits, and situational judgment. This well-rounded approach makes it so much easier to identify applicants who are the best fit both for the role and the company culture.

What Do I Like About HR Avatar

It was very helpful in terms of assessing further the skills, personality and characteristics of the potential candidate. This is very helpful for me who is handling the technical positions in our organization. It would be much helpful if they would create a specific Test Battery where it includes a technical test for a higher level position.
