How we write these. We describe TestGorilla by how they publicly position themselves, we credit what they do better than us, and we don't quote prices we can't verify — check their current pricing directly. If you think anything here is unfair or out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.
Credit where it's due

What TestGorilla is genuinely good at

  • A very broad catalogue of tests — hundreds of skills, languages and software packages
  • Strong fit when you know precisely which skill you need measured, such as a specific programming language or a named accounting package
  • A genuine free tier for trying it out
  • Well-established, with a large customer base and mature integrations
The difference

Where Hirovia takes a different approach

You assemble a test vs. you receive a shortlistWith a test library, someone has to choose which tests, set thresholds and interpret the results. Hirovia ships one researched success profile per role and returns a single 0–100 ranking, so the interpretation work is already done.
Priced per assessment, not per seatSubscription-and-seat pricing suits steady hiring. Hirovia charges only for completed assessments, so a quiet month costs nothing and a 900-applicant month is still cheap.
Built around anti-gaming rather than around test varietyConsistency pairs, social-desirability scales and straight-lining detection are core to the score, because our premise is that AI has made self-reported material unreliable.
An interview guide, not just a numberEvery report ends with questions targeted at that candidate's weak competencies.
The short answer

Which one should you pick?

Choose TestGorilla if…

You need to verify a specific hard skill — Python, Excel modelling, a named ERP — and you want to build the test battery yourself.

Choose Hirovia if…

You have hundreds of applicants for a defined corporate role and you want them ranked by likely job success without designing an assessment yourself.

What you'd actually get

One score, and the evidence behind it

Whatever you compare us against, this is the output: every applicant ranked on the same 0–100 scale, with the components visible so any decision can be explained.

Optional add-on · identity verification $5 add-on

Know the person who took the test is the person you'll interview.

AI can write the résumé. A friend can sit the assessment. With identity verification switched on, every applicant photographs a government ID and takes a live selfie before the first question — so the score is bound to a real, verified human, and the name on the ID is checked against the name on the application.

Before the first question

The check runs at the very start, so nobody can answer first and verify later. No verified ID, no assessment.

Document + live selfie, by Stripe

Stripe Identity reads the document, checks its security features, confirms the selfie is a live person and matches it to the ID photo. Works with passports, driver's licences and national IDs from 100+ countries.

Only the outcome reaches you

The report shows verified / not verified and whether the name on the ID matched the application. Hirovia never stores ID images, document numbers or dates of birth — nothing sensitive lands in your account.

$5 per verified candidate, taken from your prepaid credit. Turn it on for your whole account or per invitation. Not included in the free trial — each check costs real money the moment it runs, so the account needs credit first.

Billed once per candidate on their first verification attempt, whatever the outcome; a candidate who fails gets one retry at no extra charge. Candidates are never charged. Verification is a fraud-prevention signal for your process, not a background check or a consumer report.
