The integrity of test results is a priority for us at Toggl Hire. But it doesn't come at the cost of candidate privacy.

The main difference between Toggl Hire and TestGorilla is that while TestGorilla is built primarily for candidate assessment, Toggl Hire is a skills-forward full-cycle recruitment software. This means that while Toggl Hire features a comprehensive library of ready-made job templates stacked with questions that assess technical and soft skills, we also offer other applicant tracking software features like a hiring pipeline, candidate management, and more. 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.

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.
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.
Toggl Hire has an extensive expert-created question library of 20,000+ 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.
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.
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.
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.
