April 25, 2019 5.0 We used to use a competitor testing platform, and had been using for quite some time, but as they grew larger, the service level grew smaller while my bill got even larger! eSkill seemed to realize all the issues that we were having and was able to solve all of our problems while being able to implement out to all of our offices across the country. They've been a great partner! Pros I like that each user can customize their testing experience for the candidates. The customer service is top notch too! Cons That I wasn't aware of their offering sooner! Review Source R Reviewer Staffing Coordinator/Payroll Specialist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best for Aptitude Tests" April 17, 2019 5.0 From the word GO this experience has been amazing. As I stated earlier, I feel the questions relate to the skills we are testing for. Chance has been an absolute Godsend in getting everything sorted for us any time that we need it. The candidates have had minimal complaints on using this software, as well. I could not be happier that we have been able to use eSkills for nearly three years now. Pros I love the ease of use and that we can easily have a new test set up. We can make our own tests (if we only had the time), or our EXCELLENT representative (Chance) will set up one within an hour (or less, usually) of our request. Cons I have no complaints about this software. I think it is easy to use, and I feel the questions give us a fair representation of our candidates's skills. Review Source R Reviewer Secretary Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "eSkill testing is designed to fail test takers" August 20, 2024 1.0 I have failed the Excel, Word and PowerPoint tests on this multiple times and I have been using these programs since they came out and I simply can't pass because I don't select what this lame program deems as the right choice (icons vs drop down menus). Worst program I have ever used. Pros I hate this testing platform, I have been using Word and Excel for I do not like any part of eSkill testing platform, the menus for Word and Excel are based on whatever version eSkill is basing their scoring on and I have been using Word and Excel since they came out. I have been a secretary for over 30 years and the tests fail me constantly and they are rigged to fail test takers because if you learned on different versions and select the drop down menu as opposed to the icon, you get marked as incorrect. It's a bogus test platform designed to fail test takers. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Cons There is absolutely nothing I like about this testing platform, there are several ways to perform the functions that are required, but if you don't select the one that these boneheads are looking for, you get scored as "incorrect." Review Source R Reviewer Sr. HR Business Partner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Product, easy to use and even easier to customize!" April 16, 2019 5.0 Eskill has been a great product and we have had a wonderful experience working with customer support. They have a large inventory of subjects and questions to help us tailor tests to our specific needs. Eskill assessments are easy for us to administer to candidates and easy for our candidates to take online. Very rarely do our candidates have issues taking the tests online. We are very happy with our choice to use Eskill! Pros We love that it is easy to customize tests for our different needs. Eskill has been a fantastic solution for our pre-employment needs! Cons The pre-purchase of tokens is hard to gauge our need, but the price is reasonable so it isn't too much of a hardship if we don't use them all or if we need to purchase additional tokens. Review Source R Reviewer Employment Specialist Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "eSkill Review" April 24, 2019 4.0 The customer service is great and the team has been wonderful for our office! The team is communicative, responsive, and friendly. Pros I like that it is very user friendly, both for the person taking the assessment and us in the office. It is easily changed and/or updated. The confirmation that it has been sent to people is great, as that is not a function that we had before. Cons I don't like that it doesn't allow us to send software tutorials out to our associates. I also feel like the scoring that we have received back on eSkill is much lower than other software that we have used. I am not sure how the scoring is done, but I know that compared to the last couple software systems we have used for testing, our associates are scoring much lower overall! Review Source Tamika B. Sr. Human Resources Rep Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A Top-Notch Employment Screener!!" April 9, 2021 5.0 eSkill has been a great resource in evaluating potential employees by offering assessments that are needed to determine if they have the necessary skills and aptitudes that fit our organization's needs. Pros eSkill offers great resources to organizations that administer pre-employment testing. I love the variety of assessments that are offered as our company is a wholesale organization that hires sales reps as well as office personnel. Cons eSkill has helped my organization match up candidates based on our needs which eliminated hiring and interviewing candidates who may not be a fit which ultimately saves money and time. As a result, I have not encountered any problems that would diminish the effectiveness of this software. Review Source Erin S. Human Resources Generalist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great System that Meets a lot of Needs!" November 12, 2018 5.0 I have always had great customer service form eSkill and very consistent information all the years we have been working with them! Pros eSkill is simple to use and easy to access. In the almost three years we have been using eSkill in our hiring process, we have had improved candidates for interviews. The testing is also super customizable! Cons It can seem pricey, but the benefits to our company are Review Source R Reviewer Tech Recruiter Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Tried it briefly and would love to continue working with it" January 8, 2022 5.0 Pros it's very user-friendly HR software I got it up and running quite easily Cons could be a lot better with Talent pipelining Review Source R Reviewer Regional Director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Would be nice to have" April 23, 2019 4.0 Our overall experience has been very positive. Our entire staff was frustrated in the previous platform because it literally changed overnight with no warning. We did not have training until a few weeks later and it was just not the same and it negatively impacted the experience for our testing candidates. We have been very pleased with the change and the support we get in using the system. Pros The ease of setting up screens and the ability to send to specific internal staff, based on the test taken. Also the ability to set up the results to be shown immediately or in email to the candidate taking the test. Cons Would like to see more aptitude testing for mechanical assembly basics. Tool identification, correct assembly patterns, simulation questions, perhaps with a video and questions following, would be awesome. Review Source Erin W. Talent Acquisition Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Good Platform" April 17, 2019 4.0 Pros Options for questions when creating the tests. Cons When we were customizing tests, it seemed a little tricky when saving. Once we figured that out, it worked well. Review Source R Reviewer HR Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Customer Support and Easy to use" February 24, 2021 4.0 We have been able to reduce our paper by 50%. Prior to Talentbullseye and eSKill we were tracking everything on spreadsheets, keeping files, issuing paper assessments. It was time consuming and a waste of paper. Now we retain all documents in Talentbullseye. eSkill has provided us a confident way to assess individuals to specific jobs and HR, Supervisors have input to the test creation and results. We are all on the same page and understand how people are being evaluated. It is also easy to compare candidates. Going forward, we will be able to compare candidates to hires and see how the scores may indicate success on the job. Pros The integration was very easy and the representatives at eSkill were most effective on educating us on the best use of the system for our needs. We liked that the Talentbullseye platform performs as an ATS. That was not expected and a bit of a bonus for us as we do not have one. Readymade assessments are easy to use and customize to our own jobs. No messing around with credits! Pay a price and get what I need without estimating each month. Improved our candidate pool. By having a few steps the candidates have to follow during our application process, it weeds out those that used to apply with no effort. Cons Talentbullseye needs to integrate with eSkill so that we can streamline administration of the assessments in one location and in a step process. Talentbullseye is too expensive to list multiple jobs; we would not be able to afford it as a small employer. If a candidate begins an application but doesn't complete it we don't see it. Candidate will call us to check status and we can't tell them where in the process they were or what was incomplete. Review Source R Reviewer VP of Finance Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great Product and Great Customer Service" November 11, 2021 5.0 Far exceeded our expectations. Crazy good! Pros Very thorough testing both in terms of testing programs and questions. Outstanding features that are customizable. The training was over the top - very focused and flexible with our team. The customer service is the best I have ever seen. Our rep is amazing! Cons Nothing. We looked at other options and this was the best by far. They far exceeded our expectations. Review Source R Reviewer Director, Talent Acquisition, Diversity & Inclusion Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Review- eSkills" November 10, 2021 4.0 Our contact with eSkill has been fantastic and very patient with us as we got eSkills setup. Pros Applicable to an array of roles, the ability to build own testing, automatic scoring option, all online, candidates can complete at their own preferred time, Cons I can't comment as I don't use the software, but my team does. Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "eSkill Review" October 27, 2021 5.0 My experience with our \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been incredible. We are not a high maintenance account, but when I need something, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] response time is great. Pros We like the ease of the product for the administrators and our applicants. I like that is extremely customizable. Cons There is nothing that we do not like about this software. Review Source Tami S. HR Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Specialized Skills Assessments" February 26, 2021 5.0 eskill is a very practical, inexpensive way to conduct a more specific or specialized Skilled assessment. Pros The Software is very easy to use and has a very vast and effective library of questions relative to all skill levels and positions. Analytical reports are very helpful and easy to utilize and populate into multiple formats and software programs. Cons You can formulate your own questions but analytics often don't recognize them. You can not purchase monthly or smaller test packages. I usually have to purchase more tests than I actually need - Would prefer a pay for test amounts needed package. Even if the price per test was higher, better than buying 10 when I only need 5 :) Review Source R Reviewer Candidate Coordinator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Friendly system" November 16, 2021 5.0 Pros I like how easy and friendly it is to use and create new assessments depending on the candidates You have many options to choose from as well. Cons I would say the integration was the difficult part at first but once it was fixed everything has been great. Review Source R Reviewer Ready Hire Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The Customer Service Can't be Beat!" December 22, 2021 5.0 Pros I have used eSkill as an assessment tool for years but just started video interviewing as part of our efforts to recruit during a public health crisis but also as a tool in our DEI outreach. Learning this new feature was made so simple by the outstanding customer support. There are many different learning styles and the eSkill team is happy to support its clients and adjust accordingly. Cons A bit of confusion around the length of question vs length of test setting for video interviews. Review Source R Reviewer Associate Dean Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A great online test taking tool that evaluates skill and application, not searchable trivia." March 3, 2021 5.0 Pros I appreciate most that the software lets users \*demonstrate\* their abilities through a virtual environment, rather than be limited to answering static questions. When users are asked to answer questions, however, they are written so that application is required, rather than surface knowledge. Cons There are some additional management tools I would like to see added, but given how responsive eSkill has been to my needs, I'm optimistic the improvements will come down the road. Review Source Peter V. Vice President Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "SO Much Flexibility" April 23, 2019 5.0 Proficiency testing of technical topics was my primary reason for choosing eSkill and I've been very satisfied. There are many other areas that I may use and that flexibility is valuable. Pros The eSkill platform offers hundreds of proficiency tests for either skills or jobs. It's very easy to select a test that's pre-made and assign it to someone. Results can come back to any number of people and are available as soon as the person completes the test. A key benefit (and my favorite) is the ability to create your own test out of the thousands of questions in the hundreds of tests. In fact there are several ways to create your own test that give you so much flexibility and convenience. In my case, I created a really long test (takes over an hour to complete-not recommended) that evaluates nearly all aspects of a role ahead of me spending time interviewing. This also tells me if the candidate is really engaged. Cons With flexibility like this, it may take time to find all of the questions you'd like if building your own test, but it's worth the effort. Credits expire after two years, which seems like a long time, but in a crazy world, you never know what will happen. Review Source R Reviewer Founder/CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Product that integrates well" February 26, 2021 5.0 Pros The ease of use, customer support and integration with our platform. I will be using ESkill as our vendor of choice for our skill-set testing. Cons We do not need to comment here........... Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Placement Coordinator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great Software!" May 1, 2019 5.0 Easy to use, accurate, and great customer service! Pros I enjoy the user friendly portal that allows you to create and adjust the aptitude test. This allows us to design just the exact test that helps us fill our client's need of staff! Cons I haven't found anything that I can "complain" about. If there has been a problem that has popped up, the customer service team was quick to fix it! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Talent Acquisition Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "eSkill- Customization is Just What We Needed! " February 25, 2021 5.0 Pros I like that I can customize the tests based on what we're looking for with regard to candidate skill. I can see a breakdown of results that include what specific questions were missed and why. Cons I'm not sure I can identify what I like the least. I've been happy overall. Review Source AB Armand B. General Manager Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "I suggest this assessments to everyone " January 12, 2024 5.0 Pros With the vast number of test libraries you can build different assessments Cons I'm in the phase of experimenting and after some time maybe will have a clear idea Review Source Verified Reviewer Director of Finance Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Customizable option for candidate testing." April 23, 2018 4.0 Ease of use in testing candidate skill level. Helped to differentiate the strongest candidates. Pros Flexible testing system with the ability to create tests at multiple skill levels and for multiple positions. Cons Wish they'd offer an option to buy fewer candidate tests, which would be helpful for smaller organizations. Review Source Kendall P. Recruiting Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Good option but not very user friendly" November 10, 2021 5.0 Pros Lots of options and provides detailed results Cons The tests are a lot harder than previous software we used. Dashboard is not very user friendly.
