How is Toggl Hire better than using a free form like Google forms or Typeform?

  • Let us do the heavy lifting for you
    Toggl Hire is designed to make screening candidates as quick and easy as possible. Create a test in 2 clicks based on the job title you're hiring for. Our software will search our database of over 3000 questions and 55+ skills to create the ideal test for your job role. Much better than wracking your brain coming up with questions from scratch for Typeform - use a tool that is fit-for-purpose instead.
  • Authenticate test takers and avoid bots and cheaters
    In order to take a skills test, candidates have to authenticate themselves through either Linkedin or GitHub. This means you can be confident that the applicants coming through your hiring funnel are legitimate candidates. It also prevents the same person taking the test twice.
  • Use time-pressured tests to your advantage
    Our tests are purposefully time-pressured, to make them challenging for our candidates. This really gives them the chance to showcase what they know, and makes the best candidates shine. Without a time limit, it's hard to tell who has true knowledge and ability, and who spent a lot of time on Google.
  • Candidate selection and shortlisting
    The skills test is only half the equation. Once candidates take your test, you'll be able to manage them in our web app. Filter candidates by test score to reveal the strongest talent in seconds. Collaborates with your team to leave notes, tags, and ratings on candidates you like best. Work in candidate or pipeline view. The choice is yours and the options are limitless. Now try that with a Google form. It just ain't the same.

Do I have to use your tests or can I create custom tests or add custom questions?

Yes, you can create a custom test from scratch or add custom question(s) to our generated tests. You can also edit individual questions from our test library into custom questions.

How do you prevent cheating or fraud when taking the skills test?

We constantly monitor the performance of questions, using data from thousand of candidates each week. In addition, we give you access to question performance for every skills test you create so questions that are answered correctly by everyone are easily detected and can be removed or replaced with a simple click. Each candidate goes through verification using LinkedIn, Github or Facebook and is restricted to taking the test only once. They will see their overall score but don’t have access to what questions were answered correct or incorrect.

Does Toggl Hire connect to my Applicant Tracking software?

Yes, you can integrate Toggl Hire with Greenhouse and Workable or any other ATS that is available on Zapier.

How does Toggl Hire store candidate's data?

We use Amazon AWS to securely store the candidate data. Data storage is backed up continuously to prevent any data loss.
