TechScreen Reviews

Pros

Their training program impressed me and I learned it fast. The software stays simple and I use it while hiring staff.

Cons

We didn't find the product lacking in features or difficult to learn and the interface and capabilities matched our needs. The real obstacle was internal preference despite my advocating for adopting this third-party recruiting platform my organization voted to keep recruitment in-house so we never implemented it into our hiring processes or day-to-day operations.

Pros

Techscreen makes it incredibly easy to screen candidates and quickly detect fake applicants before they ever reach our clients. I can run thorough checks, generate detailed reports in minutes and send them off without any back-and-forth hassle. It organizes the whole process and gives me confidence that I'm only moving forward with genuine, qualified people.

Cons

Sometimes I find it tricky to tell whether certain questions are really applicable to a specific role but when that happens we just show the client the questions we plan to ask and get their opinion before moving forward.

Pros

The software feels really easy to use and their training helped me get comfortable with it fast. Support has stayed consistently reliable and I genuinely trust the team to have my back whenever I need them.

Cons

For me the questions and answers come across as quite academic and they don't use the everyday, real-world language I would prefer.

Pros

To me personally key words stand out clearly and I focus on candidate answers easily. I review responses faster and I understand points quickly.

Cons

I've found that candidates often become confused by the wording and ask for further clarification so I end up having to come up with different ways to phrase the question. Also when I create my own questions there isn't an option to highlight my chosen keywords.

Pros

System stays simple and I get results fast. I finish checks quickly and I save time.

Cons

Too often I find that certain skills aren't available which prevents me from evaluating a wide range of skill sets.

Pros

Vetting became easier and I compare many answers. I choose better candidates and I feel confident.

Cons

Not a con but I find that several of the questions are written with awkward or poor grammar which can be distracting.

Pros

Coming from a non technical background I find it helpful. I get instant results and I build custom tests easily.

Cons

Some of the phrasing can be unclear to applicants both in the prompts and the offered answer choices so candidates might be puzzled. Beyond that issue I still think it's a very dependable tool for technically assessing prospective hires and evaluating fit for roles and opportunities.

Pros

The tool stays simple and I use many features daily. I manage tasks smoothly and I stay organized.

Cons

There's honestly nothing about this software that I can say I dislike or would change.

Pros

I customize screening questions and clients feel involved. They value the process and I build stronger trust.

Cons

Honestly there isn't anything about it that I dislike right now. I'm curious to watch how the tool evolves over time, it already works well but I know the team plans to keep enhancing it to bring even more value to their clients. I'll be keeping an eye on updates to see what improvements they introduce.

Pros

it runs fast and I finish tasks quickly. Navigation stays clear and I avoid delays.

Cons

So far nothing has really let me down or caused any disappointment.

Pros

It feels simple and I ask open questions. I judge communication and I understand knowledge level.

Cons

I've noticed that the grammar in some questions isn't correct.

Pros

Okay so.... I log in easily and I get feedback quickly. I export results and I save them as PDF.

Cons

When I'm dealing with more complicated technologies I sometimes notice it provides fewer answers than are actually available.

Pros

Setup stays feasible and I run tests easily. I complete screening without effort.

Cons

For me I'm unsure how accurately this platform evaluates a candidate's practical technical abilities, it's a decent product overall but it comes across as measuring academic knowledge rather than the hands-on skills people need in real work settings.

Pros

Great tool and I like the many technical skills available and I ask better questions.

Cons

Choosing between the different test formats is something I often struggle with when setting assessments.

Pros

Customization helps a lot and I treat it as a core part of the software.

Cons

So far I personally haven't run into any negative experiences with it.

Pros

It feels easy and I choose many question options. I save reports and I write notes during interviews.

Cons

As someone who isn't a software developer I struggle to judge whether a candidate is actually qualified when they don't use the key highlighted terms, it's hard to know if a gap is just wording or a real skills issue. It would be really helpful if the tool showed years of experience next to the labels for beginning, intermediate and advanced because our job requests usually state a number of years and those don't always line up with the platform's 'avg' or 'advanced' tags. I'd also like the option to add more notes to a candidate's results after the interview is over, right now there's no way to go back and edit or append what I wrote. Finally separating Front End, Back End and Full Stack into distinct categories would make life easier since many roles need specific combinations and the current grouping blurs those distinctions.

Pros

The interface stays simple and I get friendly support. Owners reply fast and I request new skills easily.

Cons

We'd love for the platform to introduce more of the latest and emerging skill sets so we have a broader selection.

Pros

I customize interview questions and I get helpful support replies. The team responds fast and I stay satisfied.

Cons

I honestly don't have any negative comments about this software, it went beyond every expectation I had. The only drawback for me is wanting more team members to hire so I can continue using it to its full potential.

Pros

Being able to evaluate candidates clearly is great and I separate strong and weak ones. I also learn skills and I ask better questions.

Cons

At first it felt a bit tricky to navigate but after clicking around and going through a few trial-and-error attempts I found it much more feasible and easier to understand than I initially expected.

Pros

The tool works fast and I screen many skills. I follow keywords and I rate answers confidently.

Cons

Although the app lists a fair number of technologies I still noticed many important ones missing that should be added. Also the 'Create your own test' workflow threw me off a bit at first, it took a couple of tries before I felt comfortable using it and fully understanding how to build custom assessments.
