TestGorilla Assessed: Our 2024 in review

If there’s one word that sums up 2024 for TestGorilla, it’s value.

After years of rapid growth, this year, we put the focus solely on our customers. From rolling out better, more diverse tests to boosting our features and refining the user experience, we worked hard to make screening and shortlisting talent feel, well, simple.

Our mission? Helping companies find the best-fit talent while giving candidates a fair shot to showcase their skills and land their dream jobs. And thanks to you, we’ve made incredible progress—but we’re just getting started.

Before diving into what’s next, let’s look at the stats and success stories that shaped our talent assessment platform in 2024.

Milestones and major updates in 2024

Expanding beyond assessments

This was a year of transformation for TestGorilla. With the launch of our new job board, we grew from a talent assessment platform to a talent sourcing powerhouse, taking another step forward in our mission to democratize hiring for employers and job seekers alike.

Showcasing skills in full-color

We also unveiled a major rebrand across our website and product. The goal? To reflect the full range of skills and capabilities in our talent marketplace with a bold, vibrant UX that puts candidates in the spotlight.

Raising the bar for talent assessment

The most impactful updates focused on enhancing our talent assessment platform. In 2024, we launched 39 new tests and updated 34 others, cementing our place as the most comprehensive skills-based hiring solution on the market.

Highlights included:

• Language-agnostic coding tests: Expanded to support 6 additional programming languages (20 in total).

• Interactive simulators: Designed to replicate real-world skills, like the Google Sheets Spreadsheet Simulation.

• New multimedia test types: Introducing video and audio-based tests to boost candidate engagement and ensure assessment integrity.

With such a vast library, we made selecting the right tests easier with our new AI-powered Test Recommender, delivering science-backed suggestions to build the most effective assessments for any role.

Strengthening our scientific foundations

Maintaining the scientific rigor of our assessments remained a priority. This year, our assessment scientists partnered with customers on criterion-related validation studies, ensuring our tests effectively predict job success for hired candidates.

We also transitioned to percentile scoring as the default across all assessments, offering a more precise and insightful way to evaluate results compared to raw scores.
