eSkill Reviews

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.

I would say the integration was the difficult part at first but once it was fixed everything has been great.

The software is very user-friendly for the candidate and makes taking the pre-employment exams seamless. Also, the customer service is excellent, providing quick and thorough assistance.

There could be more formatting options for candidate responses. Also, when adding written multiple-choice exam questions, there could be more flexibility.

We like the ease of the product for the administrators and our applicants. I like that is extremely customizable.

There is nothing that we do not like about this software.

Using eSkill has been a great addition to our hiring process. We are able to customize assessments based on the position and share the results with our clients. The platform is very user-friendly and the customer service is incredible!

I do not have any dislikes to report at this time. Overall, we are very happy with eSkill.

$20k cheaper than competitors, yet more customization capability.

Needed more support than expected getting launched.

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.

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.

I like that I can issue a test and I'm done. eSkill sent the test to the candidate and provided me with the results. Other than entering the candidate information, it was totally hands off and easy to use.

No cons of using eSkill come to mind....

I have been using eSkill on and off, depending on whether or not my hiring committees want to go that route and administer a test for a recruitment. While I would not consider myself a pro in using eSkill, I find it relatively easy to get back into it after not having used it for a month or so. It is easy to create a test from the preloaded questions. I like the feature that one can copy an existing...

I think the features as they are provided work well. I don't have any improvement ideas at the moment.

I like that you can create your own tests and even combine questions from the question bank with your own proprietary-level questions. eSkill provides great reporting options that help you measure the strength of both your candidates and your test materials over time.

Occasionally we get feedback from candidates who experience glitches in the software while testing. It's not terribly common, but it does happen. Also, the interface of the platform could use a facelift. The program itself looks very dated.

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!

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!

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.

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.

The tool functions well and the test results are a big part of our staffing and recruiting processes. My suggestions would be to make your test result outputs be more intuitive and visually compelling. We include the results with our packets and, to be honest, they are the least compelling of all the disparate documents we include. In a word, they look "dated".

The GUI for developing tests is not intuitive and a bit clunky to use. The test result outputs are not very visually compelling

Options for questions when creating the tests.

When we were customizing tests, it seemed a little tricky when saving. Once we figured that out, it worked well.

ease to use can customize questions/create your own has canned tests

need to customize most tests applicants can "cheat" to answer questions

Thank you for taking the time to review eSkill! We are happy to hear you find our testing easy to use. We are continually improving our software and adding additional ways to deter applicants from cheating on the assessments. Your Client Success Manager, Dwight, will happily discuss these different options with you.

Easy to use, easy to customize, and very transparent.

Almost too many options with tests available.

The software is easy to use and a great tool for our company.

The software will close out in the middle of someone taking a test periodically.

We are happy to hear how easy you find eSkill to use! We do apologize that you experience issues during your testing. Please reach out to us directly to resolve the issues that you face.

I wanted to thank you for the consistently excellent customer service that eSkill, and especially CSR has provided us. I know in today’s world, we often only hear the negative complaints, so I wanted to take a moment to send you some positive feedback: CSR has always been so very pleasant and extremely responsive to any needs we have had. We appreciate the services eSkill offers and it has been wonderful to have a “real live person” to discuss our needs and help solve the challenges we face. CSR is consistently professional and accessible. Thank you for employing such a great representative of your company. It is so appreciated!

I am pleased with the software and do not have anything negative to say.

They offer many questions in their list that apply to our business and in particular, what we look for in a candidate.

The portal and subsequent use seems a little dated. As a software/IT person, it works fine for me but it could be cumbersome for others.

I was able to customize my own tests. Automated emails are nice for both myself as the admin and for test takers.

Customizing took a long time and the interface is a bit clunky. Automated emails are long and overly complicated.

Thank you for taking the time to review eSkill. We understand creating a test from scratch can be time-consuming. Your Client Success Manager is always available to assist you during this process to make it easier for you! We are in the process of updating our user interface. Please keep an eye out for our notifications and release date, as this is coming soon :)

Ease of use for us and candidates testing, automatically receiving results through email, ability to customize tests

Can not think of any at this time, we have not had any issues with eskill.

The system is user friendly, and the software has a variety of assessments to choose from. Visibility to assessment results are immediately available to help determine passing score, and most importantly identify areas of opportunity for each test taker.

We do not receive an email alert as soon as test taker completes their assessment. Nor are we able to send multiple assessments per email. Each candidate we work with may require multiple assessments to determine their skill level.

Thank you for taking the time to review eSkill and share your feedback. With eSkill, you do have an option to receive score notifications via email as soon as your candidate submits their assessment. We are working on a feature that would allow you to send out multiple assessments at once.

The flow of the system is very easy to use and the variety of question bank are some of the features that I like most about eSkill.

The incapability to integrate with a 3rd party software and time taken to generate a new question bank is something that I like least about eSkill.

We are happy to hear how easy you find eSkill to use! eSkill does have an open API to be able to integrate with different platforms. Our Channel Partner Manager, RJ, will reach out to you directly to discuss this process further.

Simulations, Large range of subjects. Integration with Taleo is very helpful. The Customer Service team is very helpful.

Would wish there were more simulations. There are not that many cons other than having more simulations.

Ability to create custom tests. Flexibility to listen to what we need and create then implement. Toooons of questions in the bank.

Organizations of test is nothing to be desired. Its complicated to sort through the tests, edit them and move them easily.

I like that I can create my own tests that fit the companies required skills. It is very helpful in determining the skills of the candidate and if they will be a good fit within our company. I like the reports so I can compare test scores between team member and candidates.

I can't create my own questions. The reports are helpful, however, they are somewhat difficult to select the type of report I am looking for.

Thank you for your kind feedback! We do have an available feature called eSkill Editor, that allows you to create your own questions. Your Client Success Manager, Michelle, will be able to discuss this feature further with you.
