RELEASE NOTES, JULY 2026

1. See every evaluation tool in one place

What's new?

The Test library tab is now Library, and it holds all your evaluation tools instead of skills tests alone:

  • Skills tests and custom questions
  • Video questions and AI interviews
  • Job simulations, qualifying questions, resume scoring, and ID verification

Filter within each one, and see TestGorilla's tools next to the ones you built yourself.

Until now, the only way to see what was available to you was to start building an assessment.

Why it matters

  • Compare your options before you commit to an assessment
  • Stop building throwaway assessments just to look around

2. Build custom tests in less time

What's new?

Two changes to Custom tests, widely requested by many customers. 

Add up to 200 questions at once.

  • In the Questions tab, select Upload questions
  • Download the Excel template, fill in your questions, and upload the file
  • Edit or delete them afterward like any other question
  • This first version covers multiple-choice questions

Choose the order candidates see questions.

  • Pick Fixed to show questions exactly as they appear in your test
  • Default is still Randomized
  • Fixed order needs the full question bank. If you use a subset of questions, the test stays randomized

Why it matters

  • Move your offline question bank into TestGorilla in one upload instead of typing it in
  • Write questions that build on each other, knowing candidates will see them in that order

3. More room to tell the AI how to score

What's new?

When you write your own essay question, video question, or AI interview, you set the criteria the AI scores against. 

That box used to stop at 255 characters, which is about two sentences.

  • Scoring criteria: now 2,000 characters
  • Try my answer, where you paste a sample answer to see how it scores: now 5,000 characters

Why it matters

  • Spell out what a strong answer looks like instead of summarizing it
  • Check your criteria against a full-length answer before any candidate sees the question

4. Personality results in the candidates table

What's new?

Personality test outcomes now have their own column in the candidate results table:

  • DISC shows the dominant letter
  • Enneagram shows the type number
  • 16 Personalities shows the four-letter type
  • Every other personality test shows its own result the same way

Personality tests don't contribute to the overall assessment score.

Why it matters

  • Read personality results across your whole candidate list in one screen
  • Shortlist from a personality-only assessment without opening a single profile

5. Ashby integration

What's new?

You can now run TestGorilla assessments from inside Ashby. Once you connect the two:

  • Invite a candidate to an assessment from their Ashby profile
  • Invite candidates automatically when they reach a stage in your interview plan
  • See assessment results on the candidate's Ashby profile
  • Filter your pipeline by TestGorilla score, for example everyone scoring 80 or above

Available on the Plus plan. You'll need admin access in both accounts to set it up: see how to connect Ashby to TestGorilla

Why it matters

  • Send assessments without leaving your ATS
  • Let the pipeline stage do the inviting for you
  • Sort a strong pipeline by score before you read a single profile

6. Instant results exports for bigger assessments

What's new?

You can now download results as a CSV or Excel file straight from the browser for assessments with up to 500 invited candidates. 

The limit used to be 200. Above 500, we still build the file in the background and email you a link.

Browsing the test library is faster too.

Why it matters

  • Open your results in a spreadsheet while you're still looking at them
  • No waiting on an email for all but your largest assessments
