TestUP is a web-based tool for pre-employment candidate assessment. Employers can create positions, schedule tests, send candidates links, and review performance. Its test database includes skills and personality assessments, with recommendations based on industry and role. The Candidate Dashboard compares applicants across criteria such as skipped questions, while Applicant Score Analysis reports correct and skipped answers, time spent per question, and comparisons with averages. Users can request a Contributor account to upload tests that TestUP says remain private to their company. A Career Widget can display openings on a company website, and each test has a link for external job postings. The 30-day trial includes all pre-employment testing features and requires no credit card information. Each detailed employment test assigned to a candidate uses one credit. All plans list online reporting 24/7; the Free plan also includes monthly email reports, while paid plans list custom email reports. The Free plan costs nothing and includes no credits; paid plans start at $49 a month with 10 credits.
