TestGorilla: what it is, who it is for and what it costs
TestGorilla is a skills-assessment platform for pre-employment testing, run by TestGorilla B.V., a Dutch company. Employers send candidates tests, video questions and AI interviews, and can score resumes against criteria. It suits teams that want to screen by demonstrated skills rather than by CV alone.
Who it is for
Employers with many applicants per role who want a test-based shortlist. It is not an applicant tracking system, so it needs to be paired with one for managing the hiring process.
Key features
- A library of skills tests: 5 essential tests on the Free plan, 180+ with limited use, 350+ premium tests on Core.
- Resume scoring on all plans: per the vendor, a 0 to 5 score per criterion with a written reason that reviewers can override.
- Video questions scored by AI, AI interviews (custom ones on Plus) and job simulations on Plus.
- Anti-cheating: algorithmically cycled question sets, blocking of known AI browser agents, behavior monitoring, optional camera snapshots and ID verification.
- 19 ATS integrations on Plus; scores and insights sync back to the ATS record.
- Gorilla Sourcing as a separate product for finding candidates.
Pricing
Gorilla Assessments is priced per account in USD: Free at $0 with 10 credits per month, Core from $215 per month and Plus from $520 per month, billed annually. Annual billing saves 25%, according to the page. Gorilla Sourcing costs $0, $74 or $134 per seat and month, billed annually. As of November 2026, per the vendor's pricing page.
Limits
- Usage runs on credits per candidate and test, so volume drives cost.
- ATS and API integrations and AI interviews with custom content need Plus.
- Languages supported for resume scoring are not stated (checked November 2026).
- Skills tests are not a replacement for an ATS or for interviews.
Data protection and DACH
The vendor describes SOC 2 Type II audited security, GDPR handling, and says candidate data is not used to train AI models and PII is not shared with generative models. Images, video and audio are stored up to 6 months, other PII such as names and emails up to 24 months. AI never makes hiring decisions, and flags are reviewed by humans. The vendor's help center named AWS servers in Ireland; that answer is older, so verify the hosting region and a data processing agreement before use. A German interface was not confirmed.
