   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

• Ask HN: I'm building an open source LMS. What are the missing features

  My main criticism goes to the product itself. The idea of building an LMS came up after talking to several instructors. Although there are many LMSs on the market, many instructors have never considered using Moodle and ended up using paid products. Hotmart and Teachable are examples of paid LMSs that are doing really well. I think that the added value of those products is that the instructor not only has access... - Source: Hacker News / over 5 years ago
