Weโve been using TestGorilla as part of our hiring process to screen applicants before bringing them into interviews, and itโs 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 doesnโt 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 โ a few feel like theyโre 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 โ 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 โ which is why I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

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
This idea seems similar to screeps, robocode, battle-code, and to a lesser extent, Neural MMO. Source: almost 4 years ago
Looks cool! Reminds me of robocode. Source: almost 4 years ago
I found https://robocode.sourceforge.io/ in Java, https://screeps.com/ in JavaScript (WASM from Golang seems not to work), and https://leekwars.com/ had its own languageโฆ. Source: about 4 years ago
You had to write the intelligence of a robot/tank in a C-like language of these game development software. The bottom line is two of these programs competed against each other. If I remember correctly these battles took place in a recurring tournament and you could win a license of the game developement software, or maybe nothing. The only one I found in a 2-minute search that is similar to this is Robocode... Source: over 4 years ago
One of the first incantations of this idea that I encountered, when I had just started working at my first corporate job back in the day, was Robocode ( https://robocode.sourceforge.io/ ) - it was great fun, and I see it's still going. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
