   Solid Skill Testing Platform — Good, but Not Perfect for Every Hiring Need

   We’ve been using TestGorilla as part of our hiring process to screen applicants before bringing them into interviews, and it’s proven quite useful. The idea is simple but helpful: instead of spending hours reviewing resumes, you give candidates a relevant test right away. Seeing how people perform on real job-related tasks gives us a much clearer picture early on.

   The test library is broad, covering everything from coding challenges and software proficiency to logical thinking and communication skills. Setting up and sending tests doesn’t take long, and the results are laid out in a clear way that makes comparison between applicants straightforward.

   Where it falls a bit short is in the depth of some tests — a few feel like they’re too surface-level to really separate top performers from average ones. Creating your own custom assessments is possible, but the interface for doing that could use refinement. Also, once you scale up hiring, costs add up — especially if every team needs access.

   Overall, TestGorilla adds real value to the recruiting process by helping weed out unfit candidates early and giving objective data on skills — which is why I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

   👍 Pros:    Clean dashboard makes it easier for hiring teams to review re

   👎 Cons:    Custom test creation could be more intuitive

• What is the cheapest VPS Hosting?

  I have an 11 GB VPS with Windows on it, and it’s running perfectly. I 100% recommend this hosting, because of it’s pricing and support. I give $8.25 a month for an 11 GB VPS. Which would cost up to $55 a month on popular hosting providers like, Linode, Vultr, and Digital Ocean. Source: about 4 years ago

• question for any linode users

  Anyone that hosts a server using the cloud provider linode.com Do you encounter any limits regarding the CPU speed? Source: about 4 years ago

• Linux OS

  One of my best recommendations is to spin up a linux server in the cloud, you can do it for free for a few months from linode.com for example. Setting up an online server for a game you like playing can also be a rewarding learning experience for networking and Linux in general. Source: about 4 years ago

• A2, Krystal, 20i, Brixly or Mechanicsweb. Best one for resellers?

  Then you can buy a VPS from linode.com, katapult.io, contabo.com or hetzner.cloud, I'd recommend a 4gb VPS, and in order to run, it has to be over 2gb. For the OS, choose AlmaLinux or a supported version of CentOS. Source: over 4 years ago

• An 'unlimited' web host has been deleting my files without any notice or warning..

  Use VPS, don't use shared web hosting when you generate content as it tends to use lots of resources like RAM, CPU %, and storage. I'd recommend hetzner.com, contabo.com, or linode.com. Source: over 4 years ago

• Need advice on hiring process for dev team

  What I had in mind was using either SHL-style aptitude tests, or third party assessments like testgorilla.com rather than a take-home exercise that I'd be moderating. I also remembered doing an online knowledge test of various web technologies when I used to be a web-dev - which could be useful for assessing Unity/C# knowledge. Source: almost 4 years ago
