Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.
The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.
For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.
I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.
For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.

Business analysts bridge the gap between IT and the business. They are important to companies that need expert technical guidance to become more technologically proficient, streamlined, and data-driven.
The process of a business adopting new technologies, leaning into objective data, and refining processes is often known as a “digital transformation.” Business analysts drive change through these transformations by:
A digital transformation that fails to deliver a high-quality customer experience can lead to client disinterest and your business underperforming. Data analysis and expert communication between stakeholders and techies are vital for remaining competitive and satisfying customer expectations.
Without business analysis skills, workforces might struggle with complex software and technical demands, wasting time, money, and effort trying to work around tech issues.
For example, they might need help finding a flawed process that causes project bottlenecks and lining up a more efficient system.

With our IT Business Analyst test, you can objectively test candidates on the most important skills needed for the role. However, measuring other soft and hard skills that complement these traits is just as important to hiring a well-rounded applicant.
Using TestGorilla’s multi-measure assessment tool, you can choose up to five tests to gauge your applicant’s suitability – here are four you could run after you test business analyst skills:
An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.
Can I add my own questions to an assessment?Yes! Custom questions are great for testing candidates in your own unique way. We support the following question types: video, multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Besides adding your own custom questions, you can also create your own tests.
How do video questions work?A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now."
Can you explain how the other custom question types work?Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
Can I customize an assessment with my company logo and color theme?Yes! You can add your own logo and company color theme to your assessments. This is a great way to leave a positive and lasting brand impression on your candidates.
