EmployTest has surpassed 13,000 customers, reflecting a broader shift toward skills-based hiring as more employers look for reliable ways to evaluate candidates.
The shift is clear: what was once an optional add-on is now a core part of how companies find the right talent.
Since 2006, EmployTest has focused on a single goal: helping employers verify actual job skills before extending an offer. This approach is now the expectation for teams that need reliable results without getting bogged down with unqualified applicants.
“We’re seeing more employers treat skills testing as a starting point, not a final step,” said Ken Crowell, CEO of EmployTest. “They want to know who can do the work before spending time in interviews.”
From optional step to standard practice
In the past, hiring mostly meant reviewing resumes and holding interviews. Skills testing was an afterthought.
That’s changed.
Now, many teams lead with short assessments to filter the applicant pool early, ensuring they only spend time interviewing the most qualified people.
EmployTest supports this with tests built around real work. Some of the most used tests include:
-
Attention to Detail Test for Applicants
-
Cognitive Ability Test for Employment
-
Pre-Employment Accounting Test
-
Customer Service Aptitude Test
-
Word and Excel Test for Applicants
Assessments like these help hiring teams compare candidates based on what they can do, not just what they say.
What this milestone shows
Crossing the 13,000-customer mark reflects more than company growth, it signals where hiring is headed. As remote hiring drove double digit increases in pre-employment testing adoption between 2020 and 2024, more small and mid-sized businesses are turning to practical skills assessments to make better decisions.
For most of these teams, the logic is straightforward: Spend less time guessing. Spend more time talking to the right candidates.
“Hiring doesn’t need more opinions,” Crowell said. “It needs clearer signals.”
Looking ahead
With this momentum, EmployTest is preparing to launch new tools and anniversary offers throughout 2026, when it celebrates 20 years in the pre-employment testing industry.
