Where TestGorilla fits in the stack
Assessment tools test skills, cognitive ability, personality, or job-specific knowledge before or during the interview process: coding tests, work-sample tasks, situational judgment tests, and validated psychometrics.
Buy when interviewers disagree on quality, when onsite-to-offer conversion is low, or when volume makes resume screening impractical.
