Easy to Learn, Reliable, and Packed with Custom Reports & Automation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hazal Y. | Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** That it's very easy to learn how to use and getting so much reports to your liking or needs. It is easy to integrate with other tools, doesn't crash at all, and you can get all the products that available in the portal for just one credit. The support team always solves problems as soon as they heard about it. The scoring automation helps with eliminate the candidates without any labour by human. **What do you dislike about Sova?** The analytics tab should be more in depth. For example one should filter the exact dates in the graphics section and should see the usage by graphics as well other than just excel reporting. Because the excel usage doesn't shows in progress or invited candidate number. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used to struggle with supporting customers because we had to send invites, pull reports from the system, and then send those reports back to the customer again. With sova’s easy interface, it now only takes about 30 minutes in an online meeting with our clients to introduce the portal and help them understand how to use it. ### 2. Simple and Efficient Candidate Assessment Tool **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joseph K. | Talent Acquisition Recruiter on behalf of Baker Hughes at AMS, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** I find Sova to be really time efficient, as it simplifies the process of communicating with candidates and scoring them one by one. I also like that it's simple enough to use and doesn't require me to be tech savvy. The online assessing or the digital assessment spot is really good. **What do you dislike about Sova?** I need to juggle between the types of results or candidates. To reset the application, I need to use the results tab, but to send another email to the candidate, I need to use the candidate's tab. So the juggling between both of them isn't always as good. And also, not having the ability to add a new email template, I can only edit the existing ones. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sova saves time by efficiently communicating with and scoring candidates. ### 3. Solid Assessment Platform with standard Room for Improvement **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew W. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** I definitely appreciate how Sova helps us build solid recruitment processes and provides good quality content. The high net promoter scores from candidates that complete the feedback survey are a testament to how well the platform is received. They have a strong, down-to-earth team that's friendly and efficient in customer success, making them great to do business with. I've been really pleased with the range of tests available, like the situational judgment tests, personality questionnaire, motivation questionnaire, prerecorded video interviews, and automating interview scheduling. All these features typically work quite well, and we’ve been generally happy with their performance. It’s great that Sova is integrated with SuccessFactors and includes language testing, fitting smoothly into our recruitment toolkit. Overall, I'm satisfied with Sova and looking forward to extending our use with them in the near future. **What do you dislike about Sova?** I don't believe Sova is the Rolls Royce of assessment platforms. The technology sometimes could use improvements to make the platform more efficient for recruiters. I would like to see better data and dashboards, and also some upgrades to the motivational questionnaire. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Sova for volume recruitment, which helps build solid recruitment processes and automate interview scheduling. I'm happy with the range of tests available, like situational judgment and personality questionnaires, making recruitment efficient. ### 4. Intuitive Assessments with Stellar Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Richard B. | Head of TA, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** I like that Sova helps us to understand the personality traits of job applicants, allowing us to tailor our interviews to get to know them better, which helps us hire people with the values and potential we need. I appreciate the great customer service; they are always available to support. I also value Sova's clear and easy-to-understand pricing model, and the personal attention to our organization's needs provides us better value for money. The initial setup of Sova was very easy. They handled everything, provided training, and built our branded platform quickly with minimal input from us. **What do you dislike about Sova?** Downloading reports involves them being sent to your email. It would be easier if they could be downloaded in the browser and avoid the email. This is a very small issue, nothing major! **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sova helps us understand job applicants' personality traits, enabling tailored interviews and better hiring decisions. It ensures we select candidates aligned with our values and roles. ### 5. Streamlines Candidate Selection with User-Friendly Interface **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Apurwa D. | Senior Executive Resourcing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** I use Sova to review candidate online assessments and video interviews, and manage the assessment center. I appreciate the simple and easy-to-understand user interface. The new update regarding assessment center setup has been particularly helpful, allowing us to make changes during ongoing sessions and assign different assessor numbers to specific activities. Additionally, the VLO team's assistance made the initial setup easy and helped us move forward faster. **What do you dislike about Sova?** The new Sova assessment for logical and aptitude is on the difficult side, which resulted in lower top score candidates for our new project and is slowing our shortlisting effort. I'd like to see the difficulty levels of test problems adjusted according to the level of the role we're hiring for, like the current apprenticeship project, where candidates mostly have A-levels and are not that academically skilled. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sova provides comprehensive data on candidate skills, improving our decision-making with quality candidates. Its simple interface and recent updates make assessment setup easier, allowing changes and assessor reassignments during sessions. ### 6. Easy Image Personality Questionnaire with Insightful, Actionable Feedback **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicoleta G. | Sr. Talent Acquisition Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** the image personality questionnaire is very easy to be made and the feedback report contains useful info like improvement tips **What do you dislike about Sova?** For certain projects where we have a larger number of candidates (35+), we still need to manually consolidate the results in an Excel file, record the score for each competency, and then sort candidates based on the highest scores. This process can take several hours of work. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** I appreciate the fact that completing the SOVA test reveals, in a relatively short amount of time, key aspects of candidates’ personality, their strengths, and areas for development. ### 7. Efficient Interview Management with Accurate Reporting **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Poonam T. | Human Resources Executive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** I like that Sova provides a whole report feature, which is very good because it saves us from having to manually take notes. The feedback reports it generates are particularly helpful because candidates often ask about their feedback, and Sova automates this process. This is really helpful since it means we don't have to draft emails and send feedback manually. Additionally, the initial setup of Sova was really easy and smooth, which I appreciate. **What do you dislike about Sova?** Sometimes it does not generate the scores properly, and we have to go manually and see their interviews to score them. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Sova for interview scheduling and assessment centers. It solves the problem of categorizing candidates into top, mid, and low tiers easily. It also provides detailed feedback reports that are helpful and automate communication with candidates. ### 8. Strong Capacity Tests, but Swedish Report Translations Need Sharpening **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** AnnaCarolina E. | Rekryteringskonsult/Leveransansvarig, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** I like Sova’s capacity tests. For me, as someone who recruits for both technical and commercial positions, it’s important that you don’t only measure logical skills, since numeric and verbal capacity are just as essential as traditional logic skills for being successful. **What do you dislike about Sova?** Sometimes the translations in the reports into my most-used language, Swedish, aren’t as sharp as the English descriptions. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sova is a great complement to interviews, references, and case exercises, helping you build a more complete picture of a candidate. ### 9. Evolving Platform with Strong Potential **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Indu K. | HR Recruitment & Hiring, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** As far as I know, the platform has evolved over the last three years. It has introduced many features that weren’t there earlier when it was first introduced to us, and I see strong potential for it to continue evolving further. **What do you dislike about Sova?** The SOVA extracts could be a bit clearer. It would also be better if we could choose exactly what we want included in the report we’re extracting. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides a fantastic experience for candidates, which is our goal as well. ### 10. Powerful tool for Talent Assessment **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** SOVA’s customer support is incredibly nice, supportive, and quick to help resolve problems. SOVA also offers a lot of customization for the materials used in Talent Assessment. The candidate interface is easy to follow, and the assessment options available to interviewers are great as well. **What do you dislike about Sova?** The SOVA interface can be a bit challenging when it comes to user-friendliness. Some features aren’t very intuitive, and I often have to dig around a bit to find what I’m looking for. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** SOVA provides a one-stop shop for recruitment materials, with easy interview scoring options. It eliminates the need to attach recruitment materials to interview invites and creates a more interactive experience for candidates. ### 11. Intuitive Interface, but Video Issues Persist **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** André F. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** I use Sova at a company to review internship candidates. I can see a recording of the candidates, which helps in the review process. I find it has a clear interface and is very intuitive, making it easy to use. The labeling system is okay. It was pretty easy to start using it, and on a scale from 1 to 10, I would recommend Sova with a 10. **What do you dislike about Sova?** Often the candidates' videos are bugged; they don't play at all, and I don't know if it's Sova's fault or candidates' fault, but yeah I had technical issues. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Sova to review internship candidates, and it allows me to see recordings of the candidates. ### 12. Flexible, Easy to Use, and Backed by Solid Research **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dom C. | Leadershp & Executive Career Coach and Business Skills Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2026 **What do you like best about Sova?** It's flexibility, ease of use, and wide range of applications all of which are grounded and based on solid research and analysis **What do you dislike about Sova?** Very few weaknesses apart from how all the reports default and refer to the candidate / participant as "they/them" as opposed to allowing candidates to self-select as to their preferred pronoun choice, "he/him", "she/her" etc. **What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?** Improved accuracy in matching candidates to role-specific requirements and thereby significantly reducing the cost of hire and staff turnover attrition rates. ### 13.
