Bottom line

eSkill is a pre-hire skills testing platform covering hourly through professional roles. Growth, Scale, and Custom packages all say Talk to sales. There is no public dollar table on eskill.com/subscription-options.

Stands out for: A large subject library (the vendor cites 600-plus subjects and heavy customization) plus a dedicated assessment expert on paid packages. Video-response questions exist as an add-on on some older plan pages.

Watch out for: Ignore Capterra's $400/mo starting price. It is not the vendor rate card. An older account_purchase page that mentioned a 100-assessment Small Business pack is not the current subscription-options page.

Overview

eSkill sells a pre-employment assessment platform. Growth is for a few roles, Scale for most roles, and Custom for multi-division implementations with heavier services. Every package on the current subscription page is Talk to sales.

The library spans Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, typing, customer service, accounting, healthcare, industrial aptitude, coding, and cognitive items. Candidates are never charged. Capterra lists eSkill at 4.5 from 171 reviews. Headquarters copy points to San Antonio, TX.
