Review Source wahaj R. designer ### "Fair, Practical Graphic Designer Assessment with Smooth Testlify Experience" November 5, 2026 5.0 Testlify helps companies check real skills before the interview, instead of relying only on CVs and portfolios. For me as a candidate, that meant being judged on what I can actually do. The role-specific technical questions let me show my knowledge up front, and the process was quick and easy to complete, so I didn’t have to wait through long rounds before getting seen. Pros I took the Graphic Designer assessment on Testlify as part of a hiring process and it was on point. The questions were technical and relevant to the role, so it tested what I actually do day to day instead of generic trivia. The platform was smooth and easy to use, and it works well for judging real ability. As a candidate, I appreciated that it felt fair and practical. Would recommend it to companies that want to hire based on skill. Cons The multiple choice options were quite easy to guess. Someone without much real expertise could get through them, so the test may not separate strong candidates from average ones. Adding a few practical tasks, scenario based questions or harder options would make the results more reliable.

Not only can it provide help in recruitment, but it is great for team building and relationship development as well. It offers assistance like helping teams identify strengths and weaknesses, build skills and strategies, improve communication, and identify potential challenges. Pros I find Testlify to be an incredibly effective platform that is very user-friendly and easy to use. I appreciate all of the tools available that help me better understand personality profiles, and the support team is always responsive and helpful. What I like best is how fast and simple it is for candidates to complete yet still providing an in-depth analysis. Overall, I am very satisfied with Testlify. Cons I really like this platform overall, but one thing I find challenging is the manual process of starting our assessments for candidates. Fortunately, I have always had the support I need to use this program successfully. Alternatives considered [TestGorilla](https://www.capterra.com/p/203823/TestGorilla/) Reasons for choosing Testlify Price is very strange . They charge per candidate. Testlify provides unlimited candidates Review Source Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Avoid this product" January 5, 2023 1.0 Pros I was drawn to Testlify based on the pricing model, making it easier and cheaper to run assessments for candidates. Cons After testing multiple qualified candidates with years of experience in their respective fields, I noticed that the test scores were coming back quite low and did not make sense. I gave several tests to myself and noticed that the tests were riddled with grammatical, design, and linguistic errors. Some of the questions were not questions at all, but a random sentence with four options to choose from. I took screenshots and shared them with support, requesting a refund (which was granted). After the refund was granted I received a kind email from the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], who asked me to retake the tests after they were looked at and corrected. Having qualified candidates take these tests was a complete embarrassment to my business. I would avoid this product at all costs. Review Source Krutika R.
