VERDICT

Should I use eSkill?

Pre-employment testing and skills assessment platform - eskill.com

Depends. Buy if you're an HR, staffing, or high-volume hiring team screening many candidates on office skills. Skip it if you're a small team, need transparent pricing, or are hiring engineers — reviewers say it's weak there.

Confidence
