Where they pull apart

Berke Assessment

Stands out: Job-fit assessments with a long ATS list on the HighMatch site (Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, JazzHR, Jobvite, Taleo, ADP, Paylocity).

Watch out: You are buying HighMatch. Budget a quote and an implementation into the ATS, not a $49/mo DISC login.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that want Crystal-style browser personality lookups
  • Buyers who need a public per-assessment price
  • Engineering orgs that need coding tests

Criteria

Stands out: Cognitive, personality, emotional intelligence, risk, and skills tests on one platform, with video interviews in the same suite.

Watch out: All three packages are sales-quoted. AI proctoring, the AI interview agent, and AI scoring are paid upgrades, and Develop is a separate add-on.

Not the right fit for

  • Engineering teams that only need a live coding pad
  • Buyers who need a published price

Pros and cons

Berke Assessment

Criteria

  • Broad test catalog in one platform
  • Video interviewing in the same suite
  • Standard ATS integrations, SSO and MFA in every package
  • No published price
  • AI features cost extra
  • Develop is a separate add-on
