Bottom line

Budget skills-testing tool for small and midsize employers that want to screen candidates on real skills before the first interview. There is a Free plan, Starter is $49/mo for 50 connects and 3 users, and Growth is $129/mo for 150 connects and 10 users, with a 7-day trial and 400+ tests covering coding, cognitive ability, languages and job-specific skills.

Stands out for: Pay-as-you-go connects sit alongside monthly and yearly plans, so an employer hiring occasionally does not have to hold a subscription. The same account also runs AI video interviews and automated proctoring, where some low-cost test libraries stop at the test itself.

Watch out for: Subscription fees and pay-as-you-go connects are generally non-refundable once paid, including connects left unused in a billing cycle, so buy connects in small batches at first. Its site names no ATS integrations, so results may need to be moved into your ATS by hand.

Overview

TestnHire is a pre-employment assessment platform for HR teams, hiring managers and recruiters. Employers create an assessment, invite candidates by email, personal invite or a shared public link, and compare results before scheduling interviews.

The library holds 400+ tests written by 50+ subject matter experts. Categories cover programming in 20+ languages, cognitive ability (verbal and numerical reasoning), language proficiency, situational judgment, software and productivity tools, and role-specific skills.

Employers can add their own questions, use AI-suggested questions and skill tags, change difficulty and formats, and save custom tests by job role for reuse. Assessments can be sent in bulk, and paid plans include access to a vetted talent pool.

AI features include AI candidate matching on behavioural and technical fit, AI-driven video interviews, AI scoring that surfaces top candidates from large batches, and automated reports that show strengths and skill gaps. AI-powered anti-cheating protects results.

There is a Free plan, Starter at $49/mo with 50 connects and 3 users, and Growth at $129/mo with 150 connects, 10 users and unlimited assessments. Business, Enterprise and pay-as-you-go connects are also offered, with a 7-day free trial.
