Easy to Use

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Our Account Manager is friendly and very attentive.

Pros:

Many 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.

Cons:

Nothing stands out. It is easy to use, or to find reports whenever needed.

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.

EmployTest experience feedback

Comments: Has been great, we recommend EmployTest to other companies frequently!!

Pros:

Ease of access. Ease to send out tests to 1 or more candidates. How the results are returned.

Cons:

Switching from old portal to new portal, just required some additional coaching from EmployTest team to ours, to understand the impacts, considerations, new processes.

Review from Distinguished Vineyards

3.0 last year

Comments: Good.

Pros:

Easy deployment to those who are taking the assessments remotely. Also like the "al la carte" so we can use what we need vs a contract.

Cons:

I think there could be more variety of assessments. I think the behavioral tests could be more advanced. Also would like to be able to view all of the questions prior without having to use a token.

EmployTest Response

last year

Yep, it's easy to use but you don't have to use credits to view questions---we'll always send you a free sample test. We have 200+ tests and we'll be in touch to see what others you're looking for. Good luck with your hiring plans.

Review for Employ Test

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: Overall experience is great. [sensitive content hidden]
is an amazing Account Manager

Pros:

EmployTest offers a wide range of tests covering various skills and competencies, providing employers with a comprehensive assessment of candidates' abilities.

Cons:

While EmployTest may offer cost-effective solutions for some employers, the pricing structure could be prohibitive for smaller businesses or organizations with limited budgets.

EmployTest Response

Appreciate you, Nhan for giving your feedback, especially about the overall experience and your account manager! Our pricing is flexible, with small packages for as little as $199. We hope that it's flexible enough for any hiring budget. Thanks and good luck with your applicants!

Great Value and Consistent Results

5.0 6 months ago

Pros:

Employ Test provides us a baseline to compare prospective candidates against eachother. We know what scores have provided positive results in previous hires and it allows us to compare new candidates using those same metrics.

Cons:

I didn't like when the price increase happened but I understand the value the test brings.

Hey Tom, appreciate the comments about the baselines. Those are helpful when you're not testing a large number of applicants, to understand what a good (or bad) score is. Good luck in your new job!

Time saver that doesn't cut corners

5.0 4 months ago

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.

A successful trial of Employtest so far

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: The experience has been positive so far. We are going to trial a few additional tests to decide if this is a tool we will use going forward.

Pros:

The tests are easy to administer and quite clear in what they cover.

Cons:

It was hard to tell initially how the levels worked. I assumed I could select a test e.g. Microsoft office and then the level within that test.

My Experience

4.0 12 months ago

Comments: It was good. Better than what I have tried to use in the past.

Pros:

It was great to be able to use something that was already created. It saved me hours of time.

Cons:

As I stated in another field, I wish we could actually create some of the questions and manipulate it a bit better. We use it for training purposes, not for hiring people.

EmployTest Response

Hi Donna, appreciate your comments. Yep, we have off-the-shelf tests, plus we can match questions to job descriptions, which ever works best for you. Your use case (testing Microsoft Office skills of current staff) is different than most customers, but it still works the same way. Nice to know it's an improvement over your past vendors. Thanks again!

Comments: Excellent; we will be back for our next hire.

Pros:

The skills assessments were reasonably thorough, interpretation of the results easy and offered reassurance when comparing and selecting candidates.

Cons:

The Elite Skills Profile could have been a bit more thorough in its range of questions, however, it was a reasonable assessment for a key administrative position that requires a wide range of skills.

Add another tool to your recruiting arsenal.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It's been a good experience and I like having a tool that is not subjective in evaluating candidates skills.

Pros:

I like the ease of deployment to candidates after I explain the product and time to complete it. I also like the immediate results upon completion.

Cons:

I wish you could search by name for past candidates in the reporting. It is often difficult to search for past results.

Pros:

EmployTest has really helped my organization identify qualified candidates when we're looking to really narrow down the candidate pool. The results are very easy to read.

Cons:

Great Product - A few functional flaws

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: The customer service through EmployTest is some of the best I've ever seen! [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is our Account Manager and she always responds quickly and helps me out with any issues that I experience. She is truly top tier!

Pros:

I love how easy it is to send tests to my hiring candidates, the platform is easy to use from the employer side, and results are returned to me quickly. I also like how comprehensive the assessment reports are.

Cons:

I have had candidates reach out to me who have had issues with the Word-Excel-Outlook 2016 test. The platform does not accept shortcuts, so it is common that candidates do not know the formal process of a function in Excel and miss points on the question because of it.

EmployTest Response

4 years ago

We appreciate your comments, Kalyssa and thanks to you and the Aria team for using EmployTest for almost 5 years now. The system does accept most shortcuts, especially the common ones, but it is a simulation of the program (not the actual program). Simulations provide the best overall experience without the test taker needing MS Office installed on their computer, but there a few limitations here and there. We're happy to know our team is providing you great service and we look forward to working together as Aria continues to grow.
