Customer service is extremely responsive. We feel that by utilizing Wonscore we are able to weed out the candidates more quickly who may not be a good fit for our organization. Makes the life of a Team Developer easier!
Pros
I love how much detail I get in the new 2.0 version. The notifications that the candidate has started and then completed are very helpful, and if you need to re-send the tests, re-launching is a piece of cake! Being able to save as a pdf and send to managers is a snap, too.
Cons
The only thing is we wish could be better is the integration with our ATS for version 2.0. We still have the results coming across as version 1.0 since 2.0 does not integrate, but as far as we can tell that is not a Wonscore issue.

Pros
The software itself is user friendly and easy to navigate. The support chat box was very helpful and responsive when having questions on assigning users.
Cons
Overall, the assessment itself is not a good indication to whether or not candidates will be strong/weak performers in my organization specifically. There was never enough information to gauge whether or not we were making good hiring decisions.

This test allows us not only to hire appropriately for a given position, but it also helps us to understand the value of all of our positions as part of the greater organization. Knowing the ideal scores for each position shows us just how much experience and education a person needs to accomplish the responsibilities, how much different roles should be paid and rewarded, and the pathway for growth that a position should allow for an employee.
Pros
The original Wonderlic assessment makes hiring a breeze! I can feel confident that selected candidates are capable of accomplishing their newly assigned roles appropriately. It's also a very easy test to give, and I love that it only takes a candidate 12 minutes to complete, so that it's not overly taxing or intimidating.
Cons
The newer tests for personality and motivation don't seem accurate at all. We've tested several existing employees as well as candidates for hire using these two tests, and the results never seem correct. I wish we could use the Wonderlic test as a standalone without having to incorporate the other two results as part of the overall Wonscore score.

The benefits of this product were definitely its ease of use. It had a very simple display which was great considering we are a larger company who has many employees using Wonscore daily. It's design was very easy to maneuver and understand.
Pros
I like the simplicity of the site the most. It was very self explanatory and didn't have too many features which might have given an overwhelming experience.
Cons
I didn't like how it did not allow you to benchmark your own employees. I am not sure if this was an option that was offered or not, but bench marking would make the scores much more applicable to our own organization.

The tech support has been great. They eagerly jump on a call to answer questions and give us clarity on issues. They have answered any and all questions we have had.
Pros
I like the new results feature. It helps explain the results a little bit better and easier to read. We are able to explain the results to our hiring managers better if need be for them to understand the reasoning and give good questions to ask the candidates.
Cons
It is sometimes hard to map jobs to create the most accurate assessment for a specific job. We have done our best to map them out, but sometimes it is questioned.

Wonscore helps us make a more informed decision in our hiring process.
Pros
I love how easy it is to select a job that matches our Open Requisitions, and how easy it is to send the assessment to applicants. One of my favorite features is the direct link to the job, which makes it simple to add it to an email to an applicant.
Cons
I felt like there was not enough training to understand the results given. I do not like how the Open Jobs are displayed: the font is too big and there is no option to have it displayed as a list.

In Implementing Wonderlic, we hoped to gain the best employees possible.
Reviewed on 2018/01/09
Pros
Although Wonderlic is easy to use and a very comprehensive system, we are finding that it is more difficult to find employees who can pass this test.
Cons
We put the Wonderlic testing process in place to help with our employee retention, but we are not finding it to have helped as much as we had hoped.

Allows us to keep students who are the best fit for our program. This ensures we have the students who want to be there and are the best fit.

In principle, the use of Wonscore results should provide insight into a candidate's potential to fit an open job position. In our experience, we have found that this is not always the case. As an example, we hired one candidate who received the top score among all other candidates for an outside sales position. We ended up firing the individual because of poor performance and what seemed to be a lack of follow-through despite having an excellent Wonscore. In contrast, we asked our existing sales team to take the Wonscore test designed for outside sales representatives. It turned out that some of our best sales reps earned more mediocre scores. Our lesson learned: Don't judge a candidate solely by their Wonscore result. More importantly, don't let an especially good or bad Wonscore sway your judgement when it comes time to hiring someone.
Pros
-Easy set up
-Versatile (can handle a variety of job positions for evaluations)
-Easy to understand results
Cons
Results from tests don;t always reflect real-world experience

Smarter hiring decisions, better internal promotion considerations, and overall a more sound interview process that provides concrete insight.
Pros
I love how easy it is to search for an individual's results. We need access to these scores regularly to make hiring decisions, promotion consideration, and hiring profile analysis. I can always find the data I am looking for!
Cons
So far, we have yet to find a Wonscore calibration that fits the job description of our highest volume role (an entry-level sales position).

Great for processing new candidates
Reviewed on 2018/10/29
Pros
We have used this service for seeing if candidates are a right fit for our company before hiring and it has been super helpful and insightful. People will tell you how great they are, but this simple testing helps give more information about them. Simply asking candidates to take the test alone has narrowed down our applicants. Then seeing how they test in certain areas based on the job they applied for has been great for deciding whether we will push them further through the hiring process or not.
Cons
When taking the test myself just to see what kinds of questions are asked, I wasn't sure I was in full agreement with how the personality questions scored. Some of the questions didn't seem like they should actually apply or able to base someones personality fit on.

Pros
I do like that it provides a great avenue for sifting through new hire candidates. I am able to eliminate undesirable candidates at a much earlier stage.
Cons
I feel that some of the tests are too long and repetitive. We seemingly lose a lot of candidates mid-stream because of this.

For higher volume positions its a good filter for the pool and for specialized positions its a great tool to compare a few options.
Pros
It has been very predictive. When we have hired candidates who scored well they were successful and when we thought we knew better we were proven wrong within the first year.
Cons
I am not sure if this is a negative but some applicants start the process and quit without finishing essentially deciding they would rather not get the job than finish the assessment. I took it my self and found it unpleasant but that is probably a good measure of drive in interest in the job.

Assess Talent to Compliment the Hiring Process
Reviewed on 2018/07/24
Pros
The software helps filter through candidates effectively and is worth the cost. Our company is proud to know that we employ intelligent personnel thanks to this product.
Cons
This score cannot and should not be assessed on its own. It is a great tool for identified intelligent candidates, but should be supplemented with personality testing.
