Executive Engineer Gas Transmission Oil & Energy Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Assess expert level of excel with convenient and efficient manner " December 29, 2020 5.0 I my self gone through a demonstration test which this service offers to anyone and it was surprisingly relevant and perfect. The type / category of skill level which I selected for test was exactly follows in the online test and concluded that it's a time and money saving process to ask the candidate to just appear in Rate my excel test and we found the results. Pros Rate my excel is a unique service which provides virtual analysis of any person who attempts the excel multiple questions. With a nominal payment a company can easily assess the skill level of its employees to be recruited. Cons I suggest this service should be affiliated with Microsoft excel and provide online certification of Excel expertise. Review Source Response from Rate My Excel February 3, 2021 Thanks for your review Arehman! I'm thrilled that you found the free trial valuable. AS ADRIAAN S. MANAGER Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MICROSOFT EXCEL - FANTASTIC FOR LOGICAL MINDED THINKERS" May 6, 2020 5.0 Fantastic! Probably will be using it until the kids start laughing at me still using old tech! Pros I personally am a list person, using Excel has helped me compile data for editing and giveing me insight into trends within our business to aid in streamlining profits. The multitude of functions and their implementation is probably my favourite thing! Cons Format issues for CSV files and older files from excel 97 not 100% working with the newer version. Review Source MS Matthew S. Training and Quality Lead Entertainment Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Rate My Excel" February 22, 2021 4.0 Pros Integration into assessments was very easy Cons I would like to be able to easily decrease the requirements / difficulty of some assessments. Review Source Response from Rate My Excel February 24, 2021 Thank you Matthew for taking the time to share your feedback! Some sort of difficulty adjustment dial is a really good suggestion, it would go a long way towards accommodating more than 3 skill levels. Sort of like at a Thai restaurant when you really want your food in between Mild and Medium spice but have to pick one or the other. SS Stacy S. Marketing & Communications Manager Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Straightforward and User-Friendly " February 17, 2021 5.0 I work for a independent nonprofit organization with no formal Human Resources department, so in my role as Marketing & Communications Manager I often end up assisting our Directors with their hiring needs. Because we are such a small operation, oftentimes we find ourselves in the position of seeking candidates with expertise we ourselves may not have—such as advanced Excel skills. Rate My Excel is a simple, user-friendly, and cost effective way to analyze a candidate's skillset even as a more of a layman yourself. Pros Rate My Excel offers four different comprehensive assessments of varying levels and focuses. These assessments feature an appropriate and reasonable number of well thought out questions in a clean and simple design. Both inviting a candidate to participate and reviewing their submission as an employer, as well as going through the assessment process as an applicant are completely straightforward and user-friendly. Further, the pricing for a package of assessments for up to 10 candidates is very reasonable. Cons We'd love to see a branch out beyond hiring assessments into skillset assessments (and perhaps even training coursework) for current employees! Review Source Response from Rate My Excel February 24, 2021 Thank you for the valuable feedback, the skill set assessment is an intriguing idea. Giving any manager the tools to assess Excel skills is our purpose, and I'm glad Rate My Excel was able to make your busy work life a little bit easier. FB Frankie B. Sr. Commodity Manager Semiconductors Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Candidates for $1B+ company" January 24, 2023 5.0 Definitely pleased! Pros Ease of use. Very straight forward. Really helped determine candidate's excel abilities. Cons Testing level could go a bit higher, but overall, good. Reason for choosing Rate My Excel Market research Review Source Response from Rate My Excel January 27, 2023 Thanks for the feedback Frankie, we're thrilled to have you as a customer. Cindy M. Small Business Owner Internet Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy to Use" February 28, 2021 5.0 Delivered the results I needed to know easily and quickly. Pros So simple. Enter the email address for your potential worker. They complete the Excel Assessment and you can know from the different category ratings what they know about Excel. Easy to use and gives you the results you need to know before hiring. Cons I had no cons using this product. It checked everything that I needed. Review Source Response from Rate My Excel March 2, 2021 Thank you for the review Cindy! I'm glad that you found Rate My Excel easy to use for your business. KS Kirsten S. Small business owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "East to use & affordable" June 15, 2022 5.0 Rate My Excel was easy to set up and navigate. I found the pricing reasonable for the amount of tests made available per purchase. I think it’s a great feature to have tests that target specific skill sets and working requirements. I appreciate that this product does not require a subscription for full access to product features. This is a valuable assessment tool for employees. Pros Candidate comparison feature, tests designed for specific skills-sets Cons Would like optional timed testing function Review Source Response from Rate My Excel July 6, 2022 Thanks for the detailed review Kirsten! Good suggestion on the time limit - we'll look into adding that as an option for our assessments. MS Matt S. Sales and Marketing Director Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Hiring Tool" November 12, 2020 5.0 Using a score from Rate My Excel gave us a tangible reason to hire one applicant over others. Pros Our company used Rate My Excel to help with the hiring process for a recent job opening that required knowledge of Excel. Everyone rates their Excel knowledge at a 9, only to find out later it should be a 3 or 4. Cons Nothing... it worked as I expected it to. Review Source Response from Rate My Excel December 23, 2020 Thanks for the kind words Matt. Your comment about how everyone self-rates their own Excel skills at a 9 is so spot on. AC Aaron C. Sr. Talent Acquisition Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rate My excel exceeded my expectations" November 4, 2020 5.0 Best Assessment Tool I have ever used.
