VERDICT

Should I use EmployTest?

Pre-employment skills testing platform (page tagline is cookie boilerplate) - employtest.com

Depends. Buy if you're a staffing agency, government office, or SMB screening many candidates for office, software, or customer-service skills. Skip it if you hire a handful of people a year — a structured take-home task does the same job free.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; independent review coverage is thin and pricing detail is limited to third-party listings.
