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 If you think anything here is unfair or out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.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 shortlist

With 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 seat

Subscription-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 variety

Consistency 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 number

Every 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.
