1. AI-scoring of video custom questions 🎥🤖
What’s new?
You can now automatically score video custom questions with AI, the same way as essay questions.
- Ready-to-use library: 6 pre-built auto-scored video questions.
- Custom-made: create your own auto-scored video questions.
- Auto-scoring criteria: AI generates a skills-based scoring rubric, which you can edit.
- Evaluation: view raw and percentile scores for each video question, with sub-scores by criterion. All scores contribute to the overall raw and percentile result.
- Transcript-based scoring: scoring is based on the video transcript (not tone, gestures, or pronunciation).
Why it matters
- Faster, consistent scoring for video answers without manual review.
- Editable and transparent AI scores keep you in control.
- Same fairness safeguards as AI-scored essay questions.
🔦 Customer feedback spotlight:"The ability to automatically grade written and verbal questions with AI is critical for us. We handle thousands of candidates in a single hiring cycle, and manual review was simply not scalable." "Our biggest bottleneck was review time. Having video responses transcribed and auto-scored removes weeks of effort and gives us scores we can trust at scale." This landmark launch will help heavy-volume customers save significant amounts of time while ensuring their scoring is more consistent and fair. |
2. Strengthened honesty agreement 🔐
What’s new?
The Honesty agreement, signed by all candidates before starting an assessment, has been updated with clearer language and stronger anti-cheating warnings.
Why it matters
- Acts as a deterrent by informing candidates that their activity is monitored.
- Explicitly lists behaviors that can trigger flags (e.g., switching tabs, using AI tools, or external help).
- Warns that repeated dishonest behavior may reduce candidate visibility in TestGorilla Sourcing.
3. Behavior log exports 📊
What’s new?
Candidate behavior log data is now included in CSV, Excel, and PDF result exports, aligned with what you see on the platform.
Why it matters
- Exports now match on-platform data.
- Saves time cross-checking reports.
- Provides complete records for internal reviews and compliance.
🔦 Customer feedback spotlight:"In this AI era, we need to know exactly how and when a candidate triggered anti-cheating flags. Having that data in exports makes it easier to review and act internally." "We always had to cross-check the platform manually. Now with behavior logs in the exports, everything we need is in one place for audit and manager reviews." This update gives hiring teams clearer visibility into candidate behavior and makes exports a complete, audit-ready record. |
What’s coming up? 🌟
With the launch of TestGorilla Sourcing last month, we’re continuing our shift towards a skills-based talent discovery platform.
Next month, we’ll expand our evaluation tools beyond skills tests and custom questions, with:
Conversational AI video interviews
- What it is: Adaptive, AI persona-led video interviews where our AI persona asks follow-up questions based on candidate responses.
- How it works: Choose from ready-made job-specific interview tracks. AI conducts the conversation, generates transcripts, and scores responses against editable scoring criteria.
- Why it matters: Provides a scalable way to simulate real screening interviews, reduce scheduling bottlenecks, and surface deeper insights into communication, problem-solving, and role-specific skills.
AI resume scoring
- What it is: Automatic AI-powered evaluation of resumes against role requirements.
- How it works: Candidates upload resumes, and the AI identifies role-specific skills, experience, and gaps. Scores are entirely adjustable and transparent, with built-in explanations.
- Why it matters: Saves time screening applications, ensures consistency, and helps teams focus on candidates with the strongest skill fit.
Stay tuned, the next phase is just around the corner.
