Alooba Pros and Cons

Sufficient the time allowed to complete the assessment. The time alloted and questions were just right to answer the candidate having real experience. I am sure this will surely save a lot of efforts for the recruiters to select the right candidate deserving the position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All good! Keep up the good work! Wishing you all a bright future full of growth and self development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found Alooba to be both a useful tool for automation and insightful for analysis of prospective candidates.

It is without a doubt that I will support the usage of Alooba for future hiring rounds; in my team and other parts of our organization. This is a tool you should use early and frequently in managing your technical assessments!

My initial impression as a job applicant was positive and I sought it out as part of our hiring strategy. Much to my

immediate relief, the founder replied directly and got us going. Fantastic customer service!

The off the shelf assessments are another way to save time and easily implement. I also really liked being able to swap questions more applicable to my role target in place of the default ones.

I really like the analytics on the assessments, particularly the 'awareness' feature. In a techincal field it's nice to know who underestimates their ability relative to peers and may possess a growth mindset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If using the platform with other hiring tools, it can be a bit challenging to quickly access roster of applicant data. Alooba takes time to anonymize results which is good but to my knowledge I could only reveal one applicant at a time. This was tough for mapping back to the other talent managment tools I use. I wasn't able to integrate with our existing talent platform simply because I didn't have the approval. It's good to see Alooba offers that integration too.

I'm afraid it has to be said that one question had the wrong rubric which drove a lot of confusion among applicants and may erode trust for some users. For me it wasn't a big deal as all applicants had the same set of questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work on very technical roles and as a non technical person it can be difficult to screen them through a phone call. Alooba enables me to test their technical skills before sending them to a client. My clients can then get a baseline of their technical skills without wasting any time on an interview based purely on what's written in their resume.

The questions can be bespoke however they also have a huge range of pre-loaded questions varying in difficulty levels across many technical platforms and tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally don't see any downsides to using Alooba. It's been very helpful in screening candidates for one of our largest clients who I've made more than 100 placements with over a two year period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The level of questions asked is appropriate for the job, and the speed of response of the links and the transition between questions is excellent and without any problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The test time was somewhat short for the questions asked in the passing test Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall a fantastic tool and does a great job in reducing time spent on screening candidates.

Alooba has a great UI for both hiring managers / recruiters as well as candidates. I thought that the amount of customsation options that is provided to the end-users is sufficient to be able to tailor the experience, but is not particularly extensive such that it's time-consuming to set up. Content coverage across the different data domains is also fantastic.

Compared to the more generic tech or software-based screening software options on the market, I thought this was a much better tool for hiring purposes. The tool is very effective for the purposes of screening for entry-level roles. Customer support is excellent and responsive. I would recommend this product.

At this stage, I have not identified anything about the Alooba tool that I'm not happy with. One suggestion for future iterations (if not already built in), would be to increase the difficulty of the test based on the initial few questions' response, i.e. dynamically generate the questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most important thing that I appreciate in this product is flexibility, adaptability and quick response to any feedback. And therefore the platform is easy to use right after introduction.

The team systematically finds any unique and innovative features that differentiate Alooba from other analytics platforms. Their effectiveness is quickly checked and implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some questions, both theoretical and practical, there were questions that were formulated ambiguously. Because of this, the analysts who passed through often made mistakes. This was also influenced by the mentality of the team, but this can be improved to avoid such cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alooba is cumbersome in evaluating candidates. It has been poor, in finding the match for our clients. With a monitor record of over 100 placements in two years I say that Alooba has blocked my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish accessing applicant data was more convenient. The results need to be anonymized. It would be helpful to have the option to reveal applicants at once. I have encountered many drawbacks while using Alooba. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Alooba since it was in its very early stages. I've been impressed with their rapid rate of growth in terms of features and tools, while also ensuring the tool is still easy to use. Working with the Alooba team is great. Super responsive. The setup of an assessment is quick and easy. The assessment itself allows us to remove bias from the tech aspect of our interview process while also saving a ton of time in creating and grading take-home projects from the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are too many questions where the correct answer is "none of the options." I find these to be trap questions that don't give us much insight into the candidate's actual skill in that subject area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were able to quickly get up and running with an assessment tailored to our needs. The responsiveness and support of the Alooba team at Alooba was impressive. Building and tailoring consistent testing for various roles allowed us set a baseline by which all applicants could be compared. We used Alooba as one step in the hiring process, and found that the Alooba assessments help take the guesswork out of whittling down prospective candidates, We were also impressed with the workflow and simple way to view and compare results.

The user interface could be improved somewhat when it comes to customizing the assessments. Also, we would love to see a larger catalog of questions to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. No need for in-depth CV reviews as tests are quite objective and customisable (you can tailor it specific to the role you're hiring for)

2. Generates unbiased data about candidates, helping make fairer decisions

3. Team has a collaborative approach and is keen to help solve your problems

4. Rapidly growing question bank Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI and functionality to create tests could be improved (but I haven't used this feature in >6months). Sometimes I wanted to avoid specific questions from the bank or make sure certain questions were always included, but did not find that functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
