" October 22, 2024 5.0 Fantastic, the feedback from operations has been great so far. Pros The system itself is typically very robust and we have had few issues, however, when they have cropped up the support team has been incredible. They have been incredibly quick with responding to all requests/queries and nothing seems to be too big an ask or too silly for them to consider. Every individual I have encountered from Skills Arena has been brilliant but I would specifically like to mention \[sensitive content hidden\], very knowledgeable in his field and always on hand to support! Cons The only thing for me is the reporting, but this is more due to the integration we have with our other system rather than a Skills Arena issue. Review Source NH Natalie H. Office Coordinator Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient and valuable" January 17, 2023 5.0 From the moment we jumped on board to the present day, Skillsarena has provided amazing customer service. We can't thank them enough for helping shape our recruitment process, saving us time, and providing the software to enable us to find the right people for the job. Pros From start to finish the platform is easy to navigate, very user-friendly and has enabled us to assess our candidates in a quick efficient manner. With the tests automatically marking, our recruitment process time has been halved. We are quickly able to check which candidates meet the requirements for the job allowing us to shortlist the right people for the role. Cons No cons, it's easy to use, the test range is great. Reason for choosing skillsarena The range of tests available, the cost and customer service, these key things are the reason we come back year after year. Review Source AE Ash E. Recruitment Advisor Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review of Skillsarena " December 16, 2022 4.0 The platform has added an additional unbiased element to our hiring stage and helped us to make more informed decisions. Pros Firstly, the customer service is excellent and so responsive. The platform itself is pretty easy to use and there is a good range of pre-loaded tests to cater for most roles. The grading system is good and easy to use. Cons A few more specific tests for the legal industry and the UX could be a bit better. There isn't the opportunity as an Admin to view the test to determine if its relevant for the role you are assessing against, although this does get sent out very quickly if you email your Account Manager.

Commercial, Sales & Marketing Director Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Skills Arena Testing - Would not be without it" December 19, 2022 5.0 Fantastic and responsive business with ever-helpful staff. They always want to go the extra mile to support our business and take time to explain features and benefits very carefully. Pros Secom use the system for an array for features and predominantly for Personality Profiling. It provides an excellent insight into the candidate makeup and one that you may not ordinarily see during the interview process. It allows us to position questions to tease out salient responses from candidates who may not have ordinarily wanted to cover potentially difficult/weaker areas. The colour wheel also allows us to ensure that team members will work well together and complement one another. Cons I really cannot think of any major negatives. Reason for choosing skillsarena The tests are easy to administer and the results are comprehensive, but not overwhelming. The team took the time to explain how their system would integrate and benefit Secom and were not overly pushy to close. There was/is a personal touch to Skills Arena that you simply do not find in many companies these days. Review Source SS Saul S. Company founder Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best value adding software solution" January 5, 2023 5.0 SA are extremely easy to deal with. They go out of their way to make sure their solution is always adding value, by streaming processes and providing the insight you need to operate effectively. Pros Everything component of the SA solution adds value and is straightforward to use and deploy. A real value adding part of our toolkit. Cons There are so many options it can be tricky to stay focused on just using core value adding functionality. Review Source AT Andria T. HR Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Testing and screening of candiates" December 14, 2022 5.0 Its enabled us to have a good idea of their profile ahead of interview meaning we have more insights into th areas of competencies and team fit that we can explore more. Pros The wide variety of options meaning we can screen / test for skills across a multitude of departments and levels. In addition the personality profile adds a great dimension. Cons The remote feature isn't always seamless in that it can go into a candidate's junk mail. There is a good work around for this but it could be better. Reason for choosing skillsarena The overall good range and reasonable pricing. Review Source SL Sarah L. Assistant Head of Resourcing Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Skills Testing" December 14, 2022 4.0 Great experience, Vicky was very helpful in recommending options best suited for our needs. Pros Skillsarena is a great platform to assess our candidates efficiently and effectively. It is straightforward to use and has provided an additional tool in the selection process. There are a number of other assessments that look useful to add when we next review our assessments. Cons Nothing specific - it can be difficult to see the text boxes when adding users/candidates thus need to move it to another screen for visibility. Reason for choosing skillsarena Skillsarena, keeps a record and reporting facility as a reference for admin purposes Review Source AS Alice S.

January 5, 2023 5.0 Great. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is passionate about what he does and convinced me of the merits of his produce within a very short space of time Pros I have used and recommended Skills Arena since I first met \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] some 7 or 8 years ago.
