Save time and money in the hiring process with TestUP – a cloud based pre-employment testing tool that features aptitude and skill tests for almost all industries and roles.

Finding and hiring the right candidate for the job is the biggest challenge that any business faces. Hiring just one wrong person can have a huge, negative impact on company’s productivity. At the same time, reviewing volumes of resumes and interviewing multitudes of candidates to pick the best one can be quite a tedious and time-consuming process. That’s where an online tool called TestUP comes in handy. It is a cloud-based hiring platform where employers can easily assess potential candidates and hire the best qualified person for the job. Basically, it’s an online pre-employment testing service that organizes pre-screening tests for almost all kind of roles and industries. Of course, many similar services are available out there, but problem is that most of them are too expensive and not flexible enough to fit needs of each business group. On the contrary, TestUP offers multiple plans without contract, and priced in such a way that they suit even the limited budgets of small and medium-sized businesses!



One of the best things of TestUP is its simple and easy-to-use interface. You can easily manage the entire hiring process from the dashboard itself. In fact, you can add candidates, schedule tests, see test results, and get the latest news from TestUP, all with just a single click of a button.

It’s really very easy to make smart hiring decisions with TestUP:

First of all, register for the service by providing some basic info about your company such as company name and email address.

Post your job openings that reflect your needs. And then, select tests relevant to skills needed to perform the job.

Then, schedule tests. The candidates will be given a unique URL link for online test taking.

Finally, compare the test performances and pick the best candidate for the job.

You can also signup at TestUP.com as a candidate. There are several benefits for signing up with TestUP as a candidate. For instance, you can test yourself to assess your knowledge of a particular subject, take a skill test assigned by an employer or get a certification of your skills. Moreover, you can join the TestUP team as a contributor. TestUP does encourage experts in the respective fields to develop thought-provoking skills & aptitude tests, and help employers find the best talent. So, are you an expert in your field? Then, simply create your online account profile and share your work with TestUP team.

Now let’s take a look at some of the important features of TestUP:

Free Assessments

All registered users of the service can get access to an unlimited number of free assessments. With the help of these assessments, you can quickly narrow down the list of your candidates to include only those who are more interested in your job and have the required basic skills. Thus, you can spend your HR dollars more wisely.

Video Interview

With TestUP, you can also conduct one-way video interviews. Just write down the questions you want to ask and let the candidates record their answers via a webcam or a mobile device. You can review their responses at your convenience. In this way, you can pick top talent from a large of pool applicants without going for telephone interview or any other form of interviews that can be time-consuming and expensive.

Career Widget

TestUP also offer a widget to make sure that your applicants get to your assessments easily. You can install the widget directly onto your company’s official website. This widget will take candidates straight to your TestUP account. What’s more, you’ll also get a unique URL that can be included in your job posting on external employment sites.

Upload Your Own Tests

You can create and upload your own tests on TestUP that suits your specific requirements. Just request a Contributor account and upload the tests. These tests will be kept private so you can rest assured that you’re the only company administering them.

Community Rating System

TestUP is growing at an exponential rate, with new tests being added to its database on a regular basis. To continuously improve the quality of the tests, TestUP has even added a rating system where candidates rate tests by themselves. This in turn will also help you to make out which test is the best in reference to specific skill sets.

Precision Test Categorization

As soon you create your profile on TestUP, the startup will automatically recommend tests relevant to your industry and role. Alternatively, you can choose to explore the tag cloud to view all tests available on a specific subject, as well as the most popular tests offered to candidates. Both skills and personality tests are being provided here, so you can easily get a complete understanding of each candidate.

Favorites Management

Add frequently used tests to your ‘Favorites’ folder. By doing so, you can quickly schedule these tests for multiple applicants and different job openings with just a few clicks.

Custom Position Creation

Rather than just relying on vague job titles, you can even create your own titles and descriptions that fit your business needs.

Detailed Test Results

It’s not possible to determine a candidate’s capabilities and personality traits simply with a score. That’s why; the TestUP team has developed its own Applicant Score Analysis System that smartly recognizes which particular questions were answered correctly, which were left unattempted, and the time spent on each question. You can then easily compare these results to the average success rate. Thus TestUP, unlike other similar services, allows you to compare a candidate against your company’s expectations or requirements, as well against other candidates in the applicant pool.
