Very impressed by the 2-click setup these technical tests have. As someone who's hired many developers, Toggl Hire will be a big time saver.
Very interesting. So if I'm understanding correctly, Toggl is a tech screen tool for companies to quiz their candidate's before interviewing them - Is that fair?

Hi Alex! Thanks for a very good questions and for bringing up the issue of fair recruitment. In short - yes, we believe it is a much more fair way to submit your application than for example a resume. For most companies it's impossible to interview every single candidate who submits their application (although this would definitely be the fairest way). So you need a way to get from initial 100 or 1000 to a shortlist of candidates who you are going to interview. With resume screens, it's easy to start looking for certain keywords or for bias to slip in. It also does not give the candidates who do not make it past the initial screen any feedback why they weren't a fit. So we built Toggl hire skills test to work in a way that candidates can show off their actual skills (instead of resume writing skills) and we also built in a feedback feature to the candidates. We talk more about this in our Manifesto if you'd like to check it out:
Awesome! Thank you for the response. I will absolutely check it out. Where did the screening questions come from? Also, I'm sure I'll find this out but what types of questions are mostly asked? Concept, multiple choice, short answer, etc? Curious.. :) Love the idea. Think it's great.

Glad to hear it! The questions are created by a community of experts, team leads and authors who work and hire for the roles they create the questions for on a daily basis so we can be sure the questions are really relevant and up to date. All submitted questions go through several reviews and we also use data from thousands of test takers we get each week to improve the quality even further. As for the different types of questions, everything you listed is included as well as open-ended and coding questions. We want leave room for custom solutions too so all tests have the possibility to mix and match custom questions with test library questions or create completely custom tests.
Great! Super product
Hiring is completely broken, I am a huge fan of anyone that takes steps to properly disrupt this industry and try something new rather than just putting patches on a flawed system. Toggl Hire has a lot of customisation options and it works well both for tech and non-tech roles. I really hope they will succeed in their efforts, I will be using them.

Thank you, Simone. We couldn't have said it better. And it's great to have users who are like-minded and up to disrupting a system as much as we are. Tells us we're doing something right:)
Worked with the platform to author some questions and I like how the product is simple to use, has high standards for the questions, and the broad selection of them at various difficulty levels.

Thank you, Eugene for the comment and for being such a great member of our community of experts and authors!
Having used Toggl Hire both as a candidate and as a manager, I can say with confidence that this is the way forward for recruitment!

Thanks, Ryan 🙌
I was hired using Toggl Hire and it was (literally) a life-saver. In a world where most companies suffered from the same old resumé process, taking a hiring test built by Toggl Hire was easy, intuitive, and allowed my skills to be front and center of the hiring process. Can't recommend it enough!
Go ahead and try it. I was involved in producing some questions to enrich the community and I can tell that the standards were high. Hope you like it.

Thank you, Miguel! We love the input and expertise you've brought to our community of experts.
I have been working with the Toggl Hire team to create questions for their database. I am very impressed with the simple interface and the minimalist design. The complete test creation just by simple 2 3 selections and click, I highly recommend Toggl Hire for anyone involved in hiring developers.
Maker
Thanks for the vote of confidence, and for all your hard work helping us develop the question database so that our skills tests keep getting better and better!
I have used the tool for several years from the time when it was still in the early stages. This app is a real game-changer in the hiring world! The candidates love it (simple and fun), the managers get well filtered candidates (fast and efficient) and recruiters free up time from manually pre-screening hundreds of poorly written resumes (time = money). Definitely recommend for any employer who wants to stand out from the masses.

Thank you Evelin!

Hey everyone! And thanks so much for sharing this. In the last few months, there is no question that hiring hasn't really been at the forefront of most people's minds. However, as the world slowly starts to return to normal, businesses will need a solution for screening and hiring top talent. With the explosion of remote work, recruiters and hiring managers can expect increased applicant numbers (we at Toggl see 2000+ per position!). For years, !Toggl Hire was an internal hiring tool used at Toggl. In 2017, we decided to share this beyond internal use so other teams could have easy access to a more fair recruitment process. We help you screen candidates for hard skills and in doing so, get from 2000+ to a shortlist of 20-50 candidates with hardly any effort. The best part? Candidates love it - you can't argue with a 91% satisfaction rating! What aspect of hiring do you struggle with most at the moment?
