What TestGorilla does

Lets recruiters search candidate profiles and screen them with skills tests, AI interviews and video questions.

TestGorilla is a hiring platform with two products that can be bought separately or together: Gorilla Sourcing and Gorilla Assessments. Sourcing lets recruiters search a pool of 900M+ candidate profiles, use filters and AI search, get AI recommendations, shortlist people and send invites. Assessments is for checking whether candidates can do the job, using a library of skills tests, AI interviews, video questions, resume scoring and qualifying questions.

Pricing is split by product. Gorilla Sourcing is priced per Sourcing seat: Free is $0 per month with browse and preview only, Core is $74 per month per Sourcing seat billed yearly, and Plus is $134 per month per Sourcing seat billed yearly. Gorilla Assessments is priced per account: Free is $0 per month, Core starts from $215 per month billed yearly, and Plus starts from $520 per month billed yearly. The pricing page does not show a monthly-billed price for the paid plans.

Credits matter on the Assessments side. The Free plan includes 10 credits per month, and premium tests, video questions and some other items use credits per candidate. Core adds the full test library of 350+ tests and custom questions, while Plus adds custom AI interviews, job simulations, custom tests and coding challenges, ID verification, ATS and API integrations, and removal of TG branding.

The pages also list single sign-on with Google and Microsoft, GDPR compliance and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free plans exist for both Sourcing and Assessments, so both can be looked at before paying
  • Sourcing covers 900M+ candidate profiles with filters, AI search and AI recommendations
  • Assessments Core includes a full library of 350+ tests plus resume scoring and custom questions
  • Plus adds ATS and API integrations, ID verification and custom coding challenges
  • Single sign-on with Google and Microsoft, GDPR compliance and SOC 2 Type II compliance are listed

Cons

  • Free Sourcing plan has 0 invites, so contacting candidates needs Core or higher
  • Paid prices are shown only as billed yearly; no monthly-billed price is published
  • Assessments Core and Plus prices are shown as 'from', so the final cost is unclear
  • Premium tests and other items use credits per candidate, which can add up
  • Sourcing is priced per seat, and Core includes just 1 Sourcing seat

Our take

TestGorilla suits recruiting teams that want to find candidates and screen their skills in one place, and the free tiers let a team look at both products before paying. It fits smaller companies on Assessments Core and larger teams on Plus, where ATS and API integrations appear. The trade-offs are the split pricing, per-seat Sourcing costs, credit use per candidate, and Free Sourcing plan that cannot contact candidates. Budget is hard to predict from the page alone, since Assessments prices start 'from' a figure and no monthly-billed prices are shown. Teams needing a single flat price may find this less straightforward.
