Online pre-employment testing and assessments

Overview

eSkill provides online pre-employment testing and hiring assessments that employers can customize for specific roles.

Revenue comes from subscription plans or one-time purchases of assessment tools, plus a savings calculator to show cost-effectiveness. eSkill’s differentiators include customizable, job-specific tests, ongoing support, a focus on compliance, and a clear emphasis on delivering cost-efficient hiring outcomes. The company aims to help businesses improve their hiring results by making assessments more accurate and engaging, ultimately leading to better hires and lower turnover.

eSkill launches Linea, AI-powered hiring tool with 70,000+ expert-validated test questions

eSkill, a pre-hire assessment platform, has launched Linea, an AI-powered intelligence layer integrated into its platform. The tool helps recruiters create customised assessments and find relevant test content from eSkill's library of over 70,000 expert-validated questions. Linea debuts with two capabilities. Linea Build generates draft assessments in seconds when recruiters input job titles or descriptions, mapping questions to required skills and knowledge. Linea Search uses AI-powered semantic search to surface relevant questions even when search terms don't match exact library wording. The tool runs on Anthropic's Claude language models and doesn't use candidate personal information for AI training. All questions come from eSkill's existing library, tagged against ESCO standards. Recruiters maintain full control to edit recommendations and audit reasoning. Linea Build and Linea Search are now available to eSkill customers.
