Overview
eSkill provides online pre-employment testing and hiring assessments that employers can customize for specific roles. Its core product is an online assessment platform where companies build job-specific tests that candidates complete online; these tests help identify the best candidates and reduce turnover. The platform supports 24/7 customer service and emphasizes compliance, making the hiring process smoother for both employers and test-takers. 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.
