Description

TestDome is a provider of high-quality pre-employment screening tests. Our tests cover a wide range of disciplines, each focused on measuring a candidate's ability to perform a specific skill. TestDome uses work-sample testing methodology - candidates are evaluated using samples of actual work. The problem TestDome solves is probably best summarized by one of Jeff Atwood's most famous blog posts: http://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/

What do you like best about TestDome?

We are using TestDome for 5 months already and fully satisfied with the outcome.

It provides us an opportunity to set our own timing policy, to choose from variety of questions from different areas and with difficulty gradation. Also it is great that TestDome provides free of charge tests for candidates to prepare and check how online IDE works. And support is always ready to help:) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

As I like the tool a lot, here are some recommendations.

It would be really useful to add test score straight after test status on https://www.testdome.com/my-candidates. Also add "export report" feature to that page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

Technical testing for Java Developers, grading them by their professional level.

For each test we set different passing grade, for example we consider 50% as passing for specialist level, while experts require 90%+ test score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TestDome?

Testdome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.

Most candidates respond well to technical testing over pure interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

Loading custom questions is time consuming (web interface) and there is no batch interface. We'd also like to take premium questions and clone and tweak them.

They once deprecated a premium question, and I had to setup a new test as a result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

Interviews are both time-consuming, and not a reliable gauge of a candidate's technical ability.

Technical testing saves time and money (the cost an hour long interview), and provides a unbiased comparison of candidates. It also provides a good discussion point for the interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing!

I think test dome is the tool that better fit with our necessities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The right price for the right tool to recrtuit the best developers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have the chance to test our "dev candidates" very quickly with the right exercises and with a tool that examines in a reliable way the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TestDome?

The use is simple. The grip of the tool is fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

The interface could be a little prettier. A function to search a candidate with his first name or his name could be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

The use of testdome allows us to evaluate the fundamentals of our candidates (developers) and meet only those who have a conclusive test. This allows us to save time and use this exercise as a basis for exchanges once we meet them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mario Zivic of TestDome

Hi Marine,

Thank you for taking the time to review our service.

The function you mentioned (search candidates by part of the name or email address) is available in My Candidates section: https://www.testdome.com/my-candidates

The score of 3/5 indicates there might be other things you are not thrilled with and I'd really like to hear them either on here or on support@testdome.com.

Regards,

Mario

What do you like best about TestDome?

TestDome does exactly what it says it will do, nothing less, and nothing more.

It's easy to start adding features to a platform like this, but with the business I run, I prefer to have my own HR channels/funnels, and use TestDome as an external, reliable testing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

In earlier versions of the platform I would get to a weird flow or a broken button, but in all reality - TestDome is a polished tool today. I don't have any pet peeves at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestDome:

We decided to give them a shot. It's fairly low risk to try it out, and worst case would be to lose some time. TestDome wasn't something we sought out, rather, a competitor of theirs was giving us horrible experience, and we looked for an alternative. And it worked out great! We've been using them for 2 years now without any issues. Would recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

Testing new software developers, and it's been really easy to filter out (not to say: eliminate) developers who can't code their way out of a paper bag. I'm not even talking about a typical "bubble sort" challenge, I mean - people can't even code two nested loops, and call themselves senior devs. Saved bunch of interview time this way.

What do you like best about TestDome?

Pricing is very reasonable. The platform is great for conducting multiple choice quizzes. We filter a lot of bad candidates with a short multiple choice quiz on TestDome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

You can't modify the questions on a test after somebody takes it. It's inconvenient to clone an entire test for a minor change. We also don't like the fact that you a coding test is tied to a particular programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hiring is hard and engineering hours are expensive. TestDome helps us automatically screen many candidates upfront. Our engineers no longer have to spend 30 minutes conducting the initial screening call. Additionally, we now screen all of our candidates more or less the same way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mario Zivic of TestDome

First of all, thank you for your review!

Since you talk about modifying questions, it probably means that you are using your own custom questions. Both things you listed as downsides were tough choices where there was no clear winner.

When it comes to modifying questions that are in use, even minor changes (e.g. changing "an" to "the") have a significant impact on candidate's understanding of the question. And in general, users (and we) rarely modify question without a reason (e.g. candidate feedback). We sided with it being unfair to candidates to directly compare candidates who were solving different versions of the questions. I understand that technical implementation (forcing users to clone a test) is not ideal and is something that we will look into in the future.

Regarding questions being tied to a programming language, our testing philosophy is built around testing candidates on samples of actual work. When you have a test for front-end web developer, all work samples revolve around JavaScript, manipulating DOM, etc. and those samples are not representative of something that is usually done in other programming languages. That means that many of the questions are either not portable or are not relevant for testing in other programming languages. But yes, if you are interested in testing general programming skills without requiring any specific domain knowledge, a platform that provides candidates with a choice of language to use would be a better choice.

What do you like best about TestDome?

The ability to host custom questions on their platform that remain private to our company, but are just as easy to add to assessments as their standard questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

It is frustrating that candidates have to verify their email address. We administer tests on site, and we would prefer that the candidate does not have to pull out their phone to receive the test link. This was a recent restriction added in the last 6 months. It should be optional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestDome:

We found this service to be the best of the available products that offer the ability to upload custom questions, create custom tests, and the ability to use the product as a self-service (although their customer support is great too). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are validating a candidates programming abilities after they successfully pass our online aptitude test. We use TestDome to administer coding questions that we offer as part of our second round interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mario Zivic of TestDome

Thank you very much for your review.

Additionally, let me shed some light on the feature you dislike. When accepting remote candidates via test URL, some candidates misspelled their email address basically preventing users from getting in touch with those candidates. After we introduced candidate email verification, we immediately got the feedback from users such as yourself who are using test URL for on-site testing that this is an annoyance to them and their candidates. Within a couple of weeks of receiving this feedback, we released the switch that users can use to disable candidate email verification.

Go to test URL settings on your test and you will see the switch there.

What do you like best about TestDome?

I like the pricing structure given the inconsistent flow of our needs. It makes more sense for us to pay "a la carte" vs. a fixed monthly amount.

The tests are comprehensive and candidates see them as fair representations of their skill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

I would like to see a larger database of tests, especially with newer technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestDome:

Effective but shouldn't be your only technical filter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem we are solving is establishing a solid first gate for Engineering candidates to pass before they burn a significant amount of team resources during the interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TestDome?

We have migrated from a different vendor due to their stubborn pricing policy, and are very satisfied with the flexibility, ease of use and customer care at TestDome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

Could use a larger pool of pre-created tests for the different languages, but other than that we are satisfied with the services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our recruitment process was lacking hands on programming challenges. Most of the other providers give you a testing platform with a pre-defined set of tests, that are long and tedious, and do not measure the coding skills well - TestDome has a great set of short tests you can link up, so the actual level of the developer can be measured more accurately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mario Zivic of TestDome

Thank you for your review. We're happy you recognized our focus on short and relevant questions.

Over the last year, we've focused a bit more on extending our question database by adding new testing domains (Angular, TypeScript, Linux, Oracle PL/SQL, Data science, Quality Assurance, Project Management, Accounting and Finance) but about a month ago we decided to extend our investments to adding additional questions to existing testing domains as well so I'm sure you will see significant improvement over the next year.

What do you like best about TestDome?

The simplicity of creating questions and tasks to find the right candidates has saved us time and money. Thanks to TestDome our new candidates better understand the job and know what is expected also fit better with-in our organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestDome?

at this point we are very happy with it, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestDome solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past, looking for developers requires us to trust what is presented about them. Now, before a candidate even comes for an interview we know if they can do the job or not. this has saved us time and money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
