## Reviews

### "Review of Employtest" — 4.0/5

> **Shelby** | *11 March 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Offered the testing we needed for a new employee, and it is nice to have the option of purchasing a set number of tests at a time rather than a contracted membership.
> 
> **Cons**: User interface needs to be updated. The website itself gives very early 2000s vibes, and I think an update to the user interface would make a huge difference.

-----

### "Great experience" — 5.0/5

> **Enoch** | *13 February 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Employtest has the relevant assessments we need to ensure we are hiring the best candidates.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be challenging to know what is really being assessed without having the access to some of the test questions in advance

-----

### "Reliable and Straightforward Hiring Assessments" — 5.0/5

> **Liz** | *28 April 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I appreciated most about EmployTest is its ease of use and the straightforward purchasing process. The platform is intuitive to navigate, which makes selecting and administering tests efficient, even for first-time users. Additionally, the purchasing experience is simple and streamlined, allowing organizations to quickly access the assessments they need without unnecessary complexity.
> 
> **Cons**: One area for potential improvement would be expanding the range of available tests to cover a broader variety of job functions and industries. While the current offerings are effective, having additional options could provide even greater flexibility for organizations with more specialized hiring needs.
> 
> Overall, my experience with EmployTest has been positive. The platform is user-friendly and makes it easy to select, purchase, and administer assessments efficiently. It has supported a smooth evaluation process and met my expectations for functionality and ease of use.

### "Phenomenal Tool a Must Use" — 5.0/5

> **Connor** | *11 July 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There are so many options with EmployTest. The list of assessments is vast and broad. Finding a test or two to fit the exact position, skillset, etc. that you are looking to gain insight on is a breeze. Simply drag and drop what you want for each and every candidate.
> 
> **Cons**: They have decided to change their dashboard a few times over the past 4-5 years that I've used your product and it always comes as a surprise. That said the improvements are well done I just would of appreciated a heads up.
> 
> Overall my experience with EmployTest has been phenomenal. Having candidates go thru a testing portion of our recruiting and hiring process has surely confirmed suspicions both positively and negatively and led to better hiring for key roles.

### "Great Addition to Our Recruiting/Hiring Process" — 5.0/5

> **Tiffany** | *01 April 2026* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: EmployTest offers a wide range of candidate assessments in a number of different areas. Providing candidates with skills tests have helped us to determine whether the candidate is the right fit for the position. Following completion of the assessment, the site also sends a report via email with a detailed look on the candidates score.
> 
> **Cons**: The report did not include specific details on the questions that were asked. I ended up taking the tests myself and using some of our purchased credits in order to have some type of comparison on results.
> 
> EmployTest is a great addition to our current recruiting/hiring process\! It provides a next level of detail in order to help employers choose the right candidate.
