60-minute pre-application assessments drop candidate completion rates significantly compared to a 10-15 minute conversation.
Candidate-experience research consistently shows that long async assessments before any human contact create friction. Conversational screening converts more applicants through to a complete signal.

TestGorilla's library is 300+ pre-validated assessments covering technical skills, cognitive ability, and personality — strongest for roles where the skill is measurable in a test.
TestGorilla's product page details the assessment catalog and the underlying psychometric validation. Their fit is strongest when the role's success criteria can be reduced to a measurable test score.

Raffi's rubric-anchored conversational interview captures communication, motivation, and role fit — signal types that a multiple-choice or coding test by design cannot.
For roles where verbal communication, ability to handle ambiguity, or culture fit drive on-the-job success, conversation-derived signal outperforms test-derived signal in correlation with first-year performance reviews.

Most teams don't rip-and-replace — they stack, then decide.
Skills-first testing reduces some bias categories (resume bias, school bias) but introduces others (test-anxiety bias, accommodation bias). Raffi's rubric-anchored conversational interview gives the same five questions to every candidate and scores against a fixed bar — different bias-mitigation approach, both defensible.
Not entirely. For coding speed/accuracy assessment, TestGorilla (and Karat, CoderPad, Codility) outperform conversational interviews. Use TestGorilla on the coding test, then Raffi on the behavioural + system-design interview that follows.
Honest, fact-based gaps — the kind real buyers hit during evaluation.
