We are biased, they are not

Out of the 12 developers we’ve hired, most weren’t actively looking for a job. They just went into the test thinking all they have to lose is a few minutes of their time.

Get to know Toggl Hire - Q&A

I am looking for Testgorilla alternatives; how is Toggl Hire better?

The main difference between Toggl Hire and Testgorilla is that while Testgorilla is built for top-of-the-funnel candidate screening, Toggl Hire addresses all stages of your hiring process. In addition, Toggl Hire provides job-specific skills tests, coding challenges that respect candidates' time while giving you a robust picture of their real-life job performance. Finally, Toggl Hire features a comprehensive library of ready-made job templates stacked with questions that assess technical and soft skills. Toggl Hire helps you hire talent without any compromise. Hiring managers, too, agree with us. Toggl Hire is well-loved within SMBs and Human Resources teams, with a 4.9 rating on Capterra, while Testgorilla's is at 4.2. Read how Toggl Hire is better, in detail, here.

How does Toggl Hire serve to the candidate selection process?

Whether you're hiring software developers, software engineers, or digital marketers, we provide a job-specific visual hiring pipeline where you can get proof of competence at every phase. Our hiring pipeline comes with ATS capabilities and is customizable; you can add your hiring funnel stages, like "interview," "hire," or "onboarding". You can attach different assessments to your steps, like a custom test for qualifying questions, skills tests, code challenges, video intros, and homework assignments.

How do customers use Toggl Hire's hiring pipeline?

Our customers tend to hire for several positions simultaneously. They start with creating a job by selecting a template from our library. Once they customize it to reflect their company's needs, they share it via the preferred channels or bulk invite candidates via email. They love to replace resume screening with pre-employment skills tests for a data-driven, fair and fast top-of-the-funnel. When they have a shortlist of qualified candidates, they move their candidates to the next step to run video intros. They use video interviews as an alternative to phone screening. Thanks to this switch, they have more time to conduct interviews with talent who are both technical and cultural fit. They then use homework assignments to dive deep into their finalists' practical skills, see competence from various aspects, and make confident hiring decisions.

How does Toggl Hire's automated screening work?

Toggl Hire has an extensive expert-created question library of 15,000+ questions to assess your candidates based on their technical skills, like coding skills, and soft skills, like cognitive ability and emotional intelligence, for the role. When you set up your online tests, whether using a template or creating your own custom one, and share it via test invite, our automated grading comes into play. Toggl Hire instantly grades and ranks your applicants based on their responses to smart questions, a unique key feature of our platform. Smart questions, due to their objective nature, help eliminate bias from the assessment process.

How does Toggl Hire's automated shortlisting work?

When creating your pre-employment assessments, you can choose to set a pass score threshold, and the system will automatically reject applicants who don't have the skillset for the job. This way, you will have a qualified shortlist and more time for high performers. Don't worry; positive candidate experience is our thing. Applicants with skills testing ranking under the threshold will get instant feedback on their pre-employment testing results.

I don't want to scroll down through to see candidates' grades. Do you have filters?

Yes. We want every step of your hiring process to work for you. Your hiring pipeline comes with multiple filters. You can filter and rank your candidates on their scores, tags, notes, and stars. While we'll give you suggestions, you can edit the score filter with the percentage of your choice. You can also add tags and use them to filter your candidates.

Can I create my own open-ended questions with Toggl Hire?

Yes. Our question library features a wide range of formats for hiring managers: multiple choice, single-choice, numerical, image, coding, and free text. Free text questions are meant for open-ended questions, like writing, problem-solving, or assessing cultural fit. You can also use them as qualifying questions. While you can instantly see your candidates' grading on smart questions, free-text responses will need manual evaluation to affect the total grading.

Is Toggl Hire more affordable than Testgorilla?

Toggl Hire's starter plan, Basic $17/month, includes 3 active jobs, and there's no limit on candidate submissions/ test completions. With our Basic plan, you can add up to 5 different assessments to each job and see the full test results of 20 candidates. You can also create your own custom tests. In comparison, Testgorilla's starter plan, Pay as you go $25/month, only includes 1 assessment and has a limit of 100 candidate credits, a total number of candidate submissions, or completions on your assessment. You cannot create a custom test with Testgorilla's starter plan. See our pricing in detail, here.
