Engineering Manager, TestGorilla

One of the selling points of our application is that it provides for a bias-free environment to hiring. Obviously we couldn't be an exception and we do thrive do do our internal hiring focused on skills rather than the gender, race, previous experience or country. We have some great examples of people that were in completely different areas and got their dream job based on their skills.

Mission is to put 1 billion people on their dream job. If that's not inspiring, I don't know what is. All of our work is carefully thought out to be as inclusive as possible so everyone can apply and try to get their dream job. Even in areas with slow connection speeds or when they only have a phone to apply.

We recently got a funding of 70m$. We're onboarding 5 or so new people every week. Our customer number keeps growing and we're hitting our sales targets every quarter.

The work at TestGorilla really comes from a humanist point of view. The focus on diversity, inclusion and accessibility is truly what the company centres around. You feel good logging on to work and can take pride in what you're creating.

From the very first interview, everyone I communicated with was kind, encouraging, thoughtful and respectful, which was a huge green flag as a candidate. Everyone is keen to help you succeed, and it's a really supportive community.

I have never felt more appreciated in a job before. There is a feeling that everyone is respected and heard at the same level, regardless of what position they hold.

Very mission oriented, fully remote work culture that support high degree of ownership. Very smart people that are supportive to each other. a lot of focus on values and living by them. Integrity of business is at a very high level.

Open views are supported and encouraged. Not political and endorsement and encouragement for great ideas. sensitive topics like salaries and company detailed performance are shared openly

The product helps customers to find the best talent and fight the bias. It is great to see that so many employees at TestGorilla are tribute to that approaach. I never worked in a company so diverse and I truly find it refreshing and stimulating to see so diverse culture.

We can arrange our work-life balance the way it suits us best. There's a great level of freedom that comes with having a flexible schedule.

Every day is challenging in a positive way. There's always something new to learn because you have to collaborate with different teams and explore various tasks you normally haven't been exposed to. You can feel your personal progress week after week and it leaves you feeling accomplished when you tackle a new skill/software.

The core values of the company are encouraging autonomy and proactivity. Each segment of your job is very important as many other departments rely on it so providing a solution helps on multiple levels, first to your colleagues, then to the customers using your service.

The hiring focus at TestGorilla is on whether you have the right skills for the position, not what your previous career trajectory was or where you are located. If your skills are right, that's all that matters!

The mission of TestGorilla is to put people in dream jobs -- wherever they happen to live or whatever their background. They also live their mission, listening to employees to help create dream jobs for their own employees.

We're going where no one's gone before, and want to get there quickly. So almost everything we do is brand new, and requires lateral and original thinking - at pace!

I love working for TestGorilla because every day I get to show companies how they can make their hiring process bias-free, allowing them to make the job market more accessible and skill-focused. I work every day hoping that companies will stop focusing on resume gaps and fancy degrees and rather focus on what people can do!

My managers give me the support and flexibility I need to be my most productive self. They care about what is going on in my life outside of work and encourage me to take time off when I'm struggling. They also support my development and my growth inside the company on a daily basis!

Team TestGorilla is the ultimate case study for our product, since we use it to hire, and they are some of the most intelligent, motivated, kind, and exciting people I've ever come across. Bold ideas, big skills, and constant empathy united by a shared passion for our world-changing mission!

I've seen so many talented people miss out on opportunities they deserve because of how broken CV-based hiring processes are. TestGorilla's mission to revolutionize recruitment inspires me because I know for a fact that it will make the world a better place.

When TestGorilla hired me they also decided to invest in me as a person – my skills, my brain, my growth. I can spend my learning and development budget on my terms, learning about the things I'm interested in and growing in whichever direction I choose. There's the chance to move roles internally, too. Because the company embraces fluidity, there's a sense that you'll end up wherever's right for you.

Remote working across the world truly gives flexibility in when you work because we minimize meetings and try to work async as much as we can

Putting 1 B people in dream jobs by disrupting the recruitment industry by moving from experience based hiring to skill based hiring is truly doing something great for the world

We are a hypergrowth startup, which means that every month feels different than the previous month. Exciting if you like that type of environment

TestGorilla wants you to work on a schedule that works best for you. It's easy to schedule appointments, attend family events, and take care of your own life admin, because of the remote and flexible working policies.

Leadership is honest and open with sharing company successes and areas for growth. It's easy to ask questions on sensitive and important topics, because there's trust that people approach situations with good faith.

Ideas are welcomed by anyone at anytime. There are few barriers to share ideas or ask questions to further your understanding. I feel listened to and heard.

Async communication is well implemented and work-life balanced is valued. At TestGorilla you'll get the autonomy and flexibility to do your best work.

TestGorilla is here to put one billion people in their dream jobs. It's an ambitious mission but we all work together to create and implement a hiring process that is better and fair to everyone.

We can take initiative and just roll up our sleeves and do something without having to go through tedious bureaucracies. Experimentation is highly encouraged which is amazing.

The autonomy is awesome, everyone is really hard working, and the company culture is just so open and self-aware. We have a sales channel that just keeps on ringing!

Everyone is willing and able to help around at any time, even off their work hours. You feel really embraced by everyone when you've just joined.

The sales channel just keeps on ringing throughout the day. The engineering team, of which I'm part of, has grown in a manner I've never seen before in the past year. Awesome.

The company is genuinely diverse, we welcome people from various countries, backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations. Everyone is respectful and you are valued based on your contributions

Work is pretty challenging but equally rewarding. We all have a shared sense of what our mission is and what we need to do towards contributing to that mission

Compensation is GREAT. No "salary depends on where you live" nonsense. You also get a learning and development budget, as well as some money to enhance your remote working setting which is great

TestGorilla focuses on results. This gives the opportunity to work at your time and place of preference. This is the new and smart way of productivity. This company has given me the balance I always wanted between my professional and personal life.

No limitation at all in communicating with C-suite level and managers across departments and sharing ideas. You feel like a truly important part of the company, no matter the level, as it should be. This is especially distinguishable when you consider TestGorilla is fully remote and works asynchronously.

Two main values are "Taking ownership" and "Being bold." These refer to accountability for your work, no matter the outcome. Thanks to this, employees are able to communicate freely, propose new ideas without restraint and make relevant decisions, as long as they are supported with information.

With employees living in 30+ countries around the globe, there's a clear sense that diversity is what makes us strong as a team. We also exemplify internally the value that our product delivers. Our work history doesn't define what we are capable of – we do.

Our mission to put 1 billion people in dream jobs couldn't be more ambitious. And yet it doesn't feel like we're just marketing a valuable SaaS. It feels as though we are actually changing the conversation around the way the world hires.

Our six values are putting talent first, being bold, taking ownership, executing with pride, supporting each other, and acting with integrity. They are imbued in everything we do. We show ourselves and each other trust in the way we communicate and execute in our roles.

TestGorilla is never dull. The fast pace that the company sets itself to follow and the high quality standards make working here impressively motivating and challenging. I've never felt this accomplished in any other role.

I believe my very positive experience has a lot to due with the management team and especially my manager. Although you're given total freedom to blossom and make your own decisions, there's always that sense of safety net right next to you.

Being able to schedule my own working hours has been a main player in my increased quality of life. I end up to be more motivated than I used to be because I choose to work when I feel the most productive.

My colleagues are absolute experts. Seeing them come up with new processes and ways to overcome obstacles is always a fantastic and enlightening moment.

Whatever the situation may be, open and honest communication is always expected. This allows for a healthy and gossip-free environment. It's always a treat to discuss with colleagues that are honest and kind.

You can work whenever and wherever you find yourself to be most productive. Sometimes I start earlier, sometimes I can have a longer break if I need it, and sometimes I work at night if I was busy during the day. There is no micro-managing.

It feels like we are creating something that will really make a difference and give people opportunities they may not have had without us. It's also great that everyone in the company seems to feel this.

Every company has its "values" written somewhere, usually just to add some design or color to a staff handbook or a display. TestGorilla doesn't have "values", it has Values, which are seen every day in the way work is handled and in the way people treat each other.

I came into the company from a completely different sector, so wasn't sprinting from the start. However, instead of pressuring me or tying me to a colleague for a month, I was allowed to figure things out for myself, learning from mistakes and generating new questions the team had not considered previously.

I love working for TestGorilla because I feel that my work has a direct impact on how people are hired. We're giving a fair chance to everybody based on their skills and not only on a piece of paper or resume.

The team is so diverse! It is an incredible and enriching environment to work in. When you look at the team: people from all backgrounds, nationalities, and countries...you can truly see the power of skills-based hiring.

I love our product and I truly believe that it's going to change the way we hire! We're always working on finding and putting talent first and providing a great candidate experience.

The people at TestGorilla are some of the best I have ever been fortunate to work with, always willing to help each other out and generally a great environment in which to work.

It's the best work/life balance I have ever found in a job, being in control of my own workload and managing my own time is refreshing. I would recommend TestGorilla to anyone that asks...and often do.

The mission of putting 'one billion people in their dream jobs' is not only mind blowing but a truly inspirational one. Being able to be just a small part of helping to shape people's lives is something that makes me proud of the job I do and something that keeps me motivated to constantly do my best.
