TestGorilla Silvia Customer Success Representative Case Study

Landing a job isn’t easy, especially if you’re an international student looking to work in the U.S. Add in a global pandemic and uncertainties about your career path and that task becomes even more complicated.  As a political science major, Silvia had spent the best part of the last few years in fields like social research and data collection, even spending six months working on Bernie Sander’s 2020 presidential campaign.

What’s the best way to find high-paying remote jobs featured image

The demand for remote, high-paying jobs is skyrocketing.

10 things you must research before applying for a job featured image

Getting a good job in today’s economic climate is no mean feat. We get it: it feels easier to play the numbers game – send out as many applications as possible in the hopes of landing something – anything.  But here's the catch: rushing into applications without proper research could be a huge waste of time.

What to expect from a skills assessment test featured image

These days, you’ve probably seen job posts that mention skills assessment tests as part of the hiring process. Maybe you’ve even taken one or two before! But whether you’re diving into skills tests for the first time or aiming to boost your performance, you should understand what awaits before hitting “start.” Candidates who overlook skill requirements on job descriptions or don’t consider the test format risk selling their skills short or making avoidable mistakes.  That’s why we’re here with t

WHAT TO INCLUDE – AND NOT TO INCLUDE – ON YOUR NEXT JOB APPLICATION featured image

When writing your next job application, less is often more.  Including certain personal information - like your photo, race, age, or marital status - can invite unconscious bias and discrimination into the hiring process.

It distracts hiring teams from what matters most: your skills.  In this article, learn what to include and - more importantly - not to include in your job application to attract the attention of the hiring team, reduce the risk of unconscious bias, and secure your

Do you need a college degree to get a good job featured image

Dropping degree requirements from job postings is all the hype right now. Mounting evidence suggests people need skills – not degrees – to succeed at work and that bias, favoritism, and inefficiency plague degree-based hiring.  Many employers claim to have changed their ways, but few actually have. So, do you need a college degree to get a good job? Unfortunately, you still do. But you shouldn’t. In this piece, we expose how employers are paying lip service to dropping degree requirements.

Featured image for ghosted after interviews? How to bounce back

Being ghosted after interviewing feels terrible, whether you’re a candidate or an employer. However, it’s depressingly common. An Indeed survey claims employers saw a 77% increase in job ghosting between 2022 and 2023. On the flip side, Greenhouse reports that 75% of candidates have experienced recruiter ghosting at least once. Ghosting after an interview is a symptom of a broken hiring process. It drives up recruitment costs, tarnishes company reputations, and leaves applicants feeling unworthy

Ghosted after interviews? How to bounce back

Good recruiters know that hiring for only skills and experience isn’t enough. You must consider candidates’ core traits and attributes to get a complete picture of their suitability for a role.  Otherwise, you could, for example, hire an experienced developer as a team lead, only to find out they lack empathy and prefer working alone. This kind of mis-hiring can lower productivity, damage team morale, and cost you time and money in re-hiring and replacing employees.  The 16 Personalities test is

Why you should ask candidates to take the 16 Personalities test

Upskilling and reskilling have always been important activities for employers. After all, investing in employees’ learning and development is key to improving employee retention, performance, and engagement.  However, investing in your own upskilling and reskilling is vital for standing out in a fast-paced labor market with ever-changing essential skills. Meta skills, also known as meta abilities or meta competencies, are cognitive skills that translate across projects, roles, and industries. Th
