I highly recommend it. Pros The insights provided by the Wonscore reports can guide your interview questions to dig into possible "red flag" areas. Cons There's not a lot to dislike - I suppose maybe it would be nice to be able to somehow integrate into other hiring tools like GoHire. Review Source Gonzalo P. Accountant Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonscore" August 28, 2018 5.0 Pros The test results are very easy to read and interpret. I love how the system puts the information together in one score, it helps evaluate candidates much better. the Software is super easy to use and I love that we can get good scores both through e-mail invitations and onsite. Cons I wish there was a way to better educate myself on what each section of the motivation score and the personality profile means. Review Source DA David A. President Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Results not very predictive" September 10, 2018 3.0 Overall this is a decent cognitive/IQ test to supplement our process. It's very disappointing in that it doesn't do a good job of accurately assessing personality or motivation. Perhaps more valuable would be assessments that showed whether candidates were good team players (ie, overlap with the Ideal Team Player ideology), and assessments that accurately tested detail orientation, etc. Pros The IQ/cognitive test has helped us weed out sub-par applicants Cons Two things: 1. The Motivation and Personality sections have not proven to be accurate, or decent predictors of job performance. I've ended up hiring several people who scored poorly in those areas (because all other inputs from their application showed positively) and they ended up excelling. I've had some score very well on, say, Conscientiousness, and they turn out to fail all detail-orientation tests during interviews. 2. Not enough job profiles. We often have to pick a couple that sort-of vaguely close to what we're hiring for and apply candidates to several. Review Source Michael K. Owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good tool for screening candidates. It has improved our hire quality and retention rates." July 13, 2018 4.0 Better, faster, easier hiring. Pros Score information is very helpful to our recruiting and hiring process. The user interface is easy to use. Cons There should be a feature that allows a company to have current employees take the Wonderlic so we can gain better insight on the current employees performance v.v. their Wonscore. I was told this feature does not exist. Review Source Bill G. Head Trash Talker | Changing the way you think about trash | Sustainability Expert Program Development Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "So easy & accurate not sure why companpies don't use it." December 18, 2018 5.0 Pros They make it easy to set up your job description so you get good results. The dashboard makes it easy to rate multiple candidates. Cons If you don't have a lot of data to compare I think it's difficult to rate evaluate. We overcame this to start by having current employees complete the test. Review Source David C. Executive Director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Joke" October 17, 2017 1.0 intelligence test portion is fine Pros it is easy to use, relatively affordable, easy access to customer support, the Wonderlic intelligence test is fine but a little challenging for English speaking Mexican-Americans because of the heavy emphasis on language skills Cons The personality test and motivation indicators are horrible. I gave the test to my four best employees out of fifty. The utterly failed the personality and motivation tests, even though they are highly motivated team players, with high ethics. I assume the test wants you to B.S. such things as... I am never late to work, I never tell a lie, etc... Review Source David B. Co-Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonscore is great" December 14, 2018 5.0 Wonderlic is very helpful with finding the profiles that fit your business Pros I love the information you can get with this report. Cons Nothing so far it. It works as advertised and the new relaease is very user friendly. Review Source Kevin H. President Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Finding the right co-workers" December 18, 2018 4.0 Its a tool. Been using for a couple years; went from believer to on the fence. Pros Ability to delegate and get candidates to take tests and overall summaries are fairly good Cons Results are inconsistent and not sure about weighting this on hiring decisions Review Source Holly B. Human Capital Executive Import and Export Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wonderlic for Sales Executive" December 18, 2018 5.0 Wonderlic is being used as an assessment for executive level positions. Pros Wonderlic provides insights into an individual's characteristics that are likely to positively or negatively impact success in an executive level role. Without this tool, it would be impossible to glean that information through behavioral and situational interviews alone. Cons The functionality to save the report isn't efficient. Review Source Stacey F. Human Resources/Employee Relations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Extremely helpful for a small company! " December 14, 2018 5.0 Pros Very easy to use! The software keeps everything organized! Cons I have no concerns or dislikes with the software. Review Source LA Lorena A. HR Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The experience with Wonscore has been great and enjoyable. " July 10, 2018 4.0 We have a lot of faith in the platform, in terms of trusting that if someone scores well on the assessment, that they're likely going to do well in the role. We also really like the personality portion of the assessment, although we don't always interpret it verbatim because we look a lot for alignment with our core values and such as well. Pros I like that it is fairly easy to use. You no longer have to submit a request for new tests (for new positions). You can simply add your own new test and either send the candidate an invite or the link to the exam. It seems to be pretty easy for the candidate to use with no instruction needed from my end. You also get notified of when someone beings and ends testing within Wonscore. I also like that it provides the motivation and personality tests along with the cognitive ability portion. Cons At first, I needed some guidance from customer support in terms of how exactly to use the software. I would say as a non-technical person, that it isn't the most straight-forward platform I've used, but once I got some assistance from support one time and played around in the platform myself, I now understand the gist. Also, I wish there was a little more explanation as to how certain scores on the bell-curve work, but even with that statement, I know I could find more information about it if I were to dive in deeper into their website. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Operations Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effective but Overly Complex" December 27, 2018 4.0 While there are some interface issues/concerns, overall we have found the platform valuable and worth the money invested. It's a unique way to have added input on hiring decisions. Pros This is a cost effective solution for testing across a large group of applicants. It can also help with individual candidates. We have found the aptitude scores to be highly accurate, and have found other scores to be beneficial when evaluating talent. and overall job fit. Cons I have never found the interface intuitive. This newer version is an improvement over the last in terms of interface. However, we still have onsite administrators that don't use it often and they find it difficult to pickup. Review Source VM Victoria M. HR Development and Recruitment Marketing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We currently have Wonderlic assessments and find WonScore's enhancements helpful but miss the detail" February 1, 2018 5.0 Pros The 'roll up' scoring - WonScore Average and how we have it integrated with our ATS - iCIMS. Also ease in reading/understanding the scoring. Cons Doesn't include the detailed reports per candidate it once did and our Hiring Managers found that useful in their conversations/interviews with candidates. Review Source JC John C. Recruiter Newspapers Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Two thumbs up!" August 28, 2018 5.0 Pros The ease of use while qualifying candidates makes this a no-brainer step for any organizations' hiring process. The amount of time spent here is minimal - especially measured against the ROI. We feel this is an integral part of our process and makes us stronger as a company. Cons Really nothing comes to mind, the software is very refined. Review Source AM Andy M. Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Recruiter from Waystar Review" November 7, 2018 4.0 Pros To me, Wonderlic is a great "equalizer" of candidates. Being able to gauge a candidate's initial potential based off proven data helps keep any kind of subconscious bias from sneaking in during the recruiting/hiring process. Cons While I do understand that it is a tool - not the defining word on a candidate's abilities - We have not been able to define clear patterns on things you would expect, like: Higher Wonderlic Score = Better on-the-job performer. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Innovation Strategist Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very useful for quick screens of ability and personality. Works best for "typical" job descriptions." July 16, 2018 4.0 \- Increased ease in filtering candidates - Accurate personality information - For native English speakers, clear sense of candidate intellect Pros Speed of results, usefulness of data that comes back. Provides objective data that I have found lines up well with who the candidates actually are when we interview them. Cons I would like the ability to choose the battery of tests for some of my more "atypical" job descriptions. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Travel Consultant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good way to delve into the personality and motivations of potential hires" September 25, 2018 4.0 Pros We use Wonderlic to screen applicants and help weed out those who are the best options for us. I like the detail report. Cons When moving a candidate between positions it doesn't explain WHY the score changes. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I have found the Wonscore tests to be helpful in screening applicants." July 10, 2018 5.0 I have been able to pre-screen applicants and reduce the amount of interviews I need to conduct. I am also able to better understand employees and what their motivations or needs are. Pros I find the tests to be fairly accurate and provide a basic feel for applicants in their cognitive ability, motivations and personality. It is very easy to send the test to applicants and it is fairly easy to navigate the administration panel. Cons I would like to be able to "resend" the test to applicants who do not take it fast enough or can't find it in their "junk" box. I have to delete the applicant and then re-enter them. It is also unclear how to initiate the in person test, but I was walked through by customer service. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Ministries Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wonscore is GREAT. " September 16, 2018 5.0 Pros I love how easily you can send the test out and that there are so many job description options to test through. Cons I have nothing negative to say about wonscore. Review Source JS Jim S. President/ owner Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The benefits of Wonscore....pros and cons" December 18, 2018 4.0 Overall, the results that we received, were definitely beneficial. It saved us on two occasions from making a "wrong" hire. So, yes, I am satisfied with the service we received, and the price we paid was worth the monthly investment. I feel that the initial 3 month investment was fair and affordable. Had the contract been longer or the price higher, I probably wouldn't have used Wonscore. After the 3 month contract, the month to month availability is current with what I see with other types of vendors. For a small business like ours, the terms and price worked out perfectly. Pros I thought that the pre-screen employment test was accurate. I had one of my employees take the test so I could get a good read on what other applicants were seeing, so I could do a comparison. I was amazed how accurate the test scores were. I compared one of employee's scores with their actual ability, and it was almost 100 % right on. This result gave me additional confidence in the Wonscore testing process. I also like the tracking and progress regarding an applicant's testing. Cons I am somewhat confused with some of the emails that I receive from Wonscore. One of the emails I received said that I could log into my Wonscore account and based upon the applicant's score, there would be specific interview questions that I could use as a guide. But, after I logged into the account, there was no reference to any questions to use as a guide for the interview. I tried to navigate through the website, but to no avail. This email message came up several times. Maybe, the interview questions were based on MY review of the test scores, not Wonscore's?? Confusing. Review Source LR Lee R. HR Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great job candidate selection tool!" July 26, 2016 5.0 Wonderlic provided our company with a great web based testing tool that has great features for the price. It quickly allowed us to raise the standard in selecting new hires and more importantly helped us filter out the candidates that did not match our selection criteria and skill sets. Their staff was very supportive with our questions and responsive to our suggestions. Pros Easy to use. Cons No dislikes. Review Source Response from Wonderlic July 27, 2016 Thank you for the kind words! We're grateful to have Appian Manufacturing (http://www.appianmfg.com/ ) as a client, and we're equally happy to hear that Wonscore is helping you improve the quality of your new hires! MO Maureen O. Director Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This tool is easy to use -not sure the scores reflect match between candidates & jobs." July 16, 2018 3.0 Pros There is a broad spectrum of jobs represented. It is relatively easy to use and can be an indicator of how well a candidate matches requirements. Cons I don't think the tool works for candidates from other cultures. I cannot forward the report to other users. I have to print it, copy and send. Review Source AM Aimee M. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time user that had to switch due to cost" December 9, 2021 5.0 I had no complaints until the fee increase Pros Loved the ease of the software and ease of navigation. Cons I was disappointed in their recent fee increase to over 300% of what we used to pay. Cost prohibitive for our use and the amount of hiring we do. Review Source KS Kristen S. Executive Assistant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This test has proven to be very accurate and helpful throughout the hiring process." July 13, 2018 5.0 Pros We have been using the Wonscore Wonderlic test as part of our hiring process for over 2 years and we have found this to be one of the most accurate tests. It is very easy to administer and to navigate the site. Cons The only drawback that I had with the assessment was resolved a while back with a system update. We are now able to "follow" candidates in order to be notified when they have started/completed the assessment. This is a huge help! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Credit & Portfolio Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Assess Talent to Compliment the Hiring Process" July 24, 2018 4.0 Pros The software helps filter through candidates effectively and is worth the cost. Our company is proud to know that we employ intelligent personnel thanks to this product. Cons This score cannot and should not be assessed on its own. It is a great tool for identified intelligent candidates, but should be supplemented with personality testing. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
