Where they pull apart

Skillsire

Stands out: Visa-sponsorship filters and AI job matches for candidates, plus fit scorecards for recruiters.

Watch out: There is no public employer rate card. Several candidate features are still marked soon.

Not the right fit for

  • TA teams that need a published monthly price
  • Companies that need a full ATS, not a job board

TestGorilla

Stands out: A large test library with anti-cheating measures and a genuine free plan.

Watch out: The jump from Core to Plus is steep, and it is tests rather than video interviewing.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need video as the product
  • Buyers who want one flat low price
