It helps us make better choices in the hiring process - we are a better organization because of EmployTest.

Pros

EmployTest 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.

Cons

Nothing - very happy with this product.

Response from EmployTest

Thanks Howard for your feedback. We're happy the follow up interview questions, based on scores, are helpful to you and your team.

Everything about the experience was enjoyable. I looked at other options and they were either to cumbersome, expensive or a less than ideal experience for the candidate.

Pros

From initial vetting to purchasing, setup and use the process was simple and didn't take much time.

Cons

It has been fine to use, I have been using the tool since 2013.

Pros

It is easy to send links to candidates and has quite a few options for testing.

Cons

I 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.

Response from EmployTest

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!

Time saver that doesn't cut corners

Reviewed on 2024/08/09

Pros

The system is incredibly easy to use. The library of tests is fairly extensive. Our team felt confident using these and it saved a lot of time for HR and the hiring manager. AND great customer support.

Cons

This was not a deterrent for our team, and was resolved quickly. There were a few issues with the initial setup of our account that delayed our ability to launch tests. However, the customer support team was extremely helpful and worked to get this resolved right away. She even stayed on the phone while I checked (and double checked) that we had the access necessary, tests would launch, etc.

Response from EmployTest

Saving your time, great support, extensive test list---just like we designed it! Thanks Patricia for your glowing review!

The customer service I have received is always fantastic.

Pros

I 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.

Cons

The customized tests leave a lot to be desired. The quick grading percentages do not always seem to add up to the actual right/wrong.

It is a very useful tool when selecting candidates to interview for a position. Employtest has worked with us to create specific tests and a system that meets our needs in regards to the amount of testing we conduct.

Pros

I like that it is simple to use and test names and descriptions are pretty straightforward. Tests are short and to the point for candidates.

Cons

I wish that the schedule email test feature worked a little better. I have scheduled tests to go out before and candidates stated that they never received them.

Definetly helps to hire the right person the first time. All of the 'hard' work is done when screening for administrative assistants. Select a test with skills that are desired and I can narrow down my list of interviews.

Love being able to purchase tests ala carte, instead of having to commit to a larger testing package. We are a small organization that hires infrequently, and this is a good fit for us.

It can be kind of difficult to choose the exact test you want to administer, but it is good that there are a lot of options.

The option to buy tests a la carte is one reason people choose us. Buy what you need, when you need it. If you need higher volumes in future, we have annual licenses--whichever way works best for your org. Appreciate your comments, Alex.

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.

Pros

What 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.

Cons

The 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.
