Over 50,000 Candidates Can't Be Wrong

That was definitely my first time ever being interviewed for skill assessment with the Alooba platform. Great experience and the value bestowed through such means is utterly respected on my behalf! I believe such online assessments should become more and more ubiquitous.

Yoav

Senior strategy manager candidate at global travel giant

It is very interesting way to take a test. I have not experienced such a pleasant test like this.

Vinty

Social media analyst for Asian travel business

I like the way the Test is presented to me. Enough time is given to prepare for the Test. Also the questions are very clearly presented with enough time limit to answer it.

Mohammed

Analytics candidate at Asia Pacific enterprise

This was a great platform to give the exam and was pretty easy to use for me, even as a newbie to this platform.

Our Customers Say

I was at WooliesX (Woolworths) and we used Alooba and it was a highly positive experience. We had a large number of candidates. At WooliesX, previously we were quite dependent on the designed test from the team leads. That was quite a manual process. We realised it would take too much time from us. The time saving is great. Even spending 15 minutes per candidate with a manual test would be huge - hours per week, but with Alooba we just see the numbers immediately.

Shen Liu, Logickube (Principal at Logickube)

I wouldn't dream of hiring somebody in a technical role without doing that technical assessment because the number of times where I've had candidates either on paper on the CV, say, I'm a SQL expert or in an interview, saying, I'm brilliant at Excel, I'm brilliant at this. And you actually put them in front of a computer, say, do this task. And some people really struggle. So you have to have that technical assessment.

Mike Yates, The British Psychological Society (Head of Data & Analytics)

We get a high flow of applicants, which leads to potentially longer lead times, causing delays in the pipelines which can lead to missing out on good candidates. Alooba supports both speed and quality. The speed to return to candidates gives us a competitive advantage. Alooba provides a higher level of confidence in the people coming through the pipeline with less time spent interviewing unqualified candidates.

Scott Crowe, Canva (Lead Recruiter - Data)

How can you accurately assess somebody's technical skills, like the same way across the board, right? We had devised a Tableau-based assessment. So it wasn't like a past/fail. It was kind of like, hey, what do they send us? Did they understand the data or the values that they're showing accurate? Where we'd say, hey, here's the credentials to access the data set. And it just wasn't really a scalable way to assess technical - just administering it, all of it was manual, but the whole process sucked!
