How does Lemma compare with TestGorilla?

TestGorilla is a recruiting platform with a broad test library, covering cognitive ability, personality, language, software, role-specific and programming skills, plus AI interviews and candidate sourcing. Lemma focuses on depth in individual skills: rated sessions, adaptive assessments and linked work, combined into an SCI score the candidate keeps.

TestGorilla and the Lemma Skills Passport compared
Dimension	TestGorilla	Lemma Skills Passport
What it covers	Cognitive, personality, language, situational judgement, software, role-specific and programming tests	Individual skills, technical and non-technical, each with its own evidence
How a skill is tested	Timed tests from a library, combined into one assessment per role	Adaptive assessments, live sessions rated by a practitioner, linked work
Beyond tests	AI interviews, video questions, resume scoring and candidate sourcing	A signed Skills Passport and, in early access, candidate invites
Result	Candidate scores and rankings for the hiring team	An SCI score from 0 to 100 per skill, with its breakdown
Who keeps it	Results sit with the company that sent the assessment	The Passport is yours to share with any employer or client
Best moment	Early screening of many applicants for one role	Showing depth in a specific skill, before or during a process

What does TestGorilla do well?

TestGorilla covers far more than code. A hiring team can combine cognitive, language, personality and role-specific tests in one assessment, add AI interviews, and screen a large applicant pool consistently.

What does Lemma add for technical roles?

A test library is broad by design. For a technical hire, you often need to know how deep one skill goes and how the person works with others.

Depth in one skill

Adaptive assessments run on a 1 to 10 difficulty scale and stop once a level holds steady, so the result places someone rather than just passing them.

Evidence from real work

Linked GitHub repositories, Figma files and Vercel deployments are checked through the person's own account, and up to two count per skill.

How someone works with people

Live sessions rated by the practitioner on the other side show how a person explains, debugs and collaborates.

Questions about Lemma vs TestGorilla

What are the alternatives to TestGorilla?

For broad pre-employment testing, other test-library platforms cover similar ground. For engineering roles, coding platforms such as HackerRank and Codility go deeper on programming. Lemma is a different option: candidates bring a Passport of evidence for each skill.

Is TestGorilla free?

Partly. TestGorilla's pricing page, checked on 14 October 2026, lists a free Assessments plan with 10 credits a month, 5 essential tests with unlimited use and limited use of more than 180 others. Paid Core and Plus plans unlock the full library and more features.

Is TestGorilla good for hiring software engineers?

It can handle early screening: its library includes programming skills tests, and its Plus plan lists custom coding challenges. Teams hiring engineers often add a deeper technical step, such as a work sample, a structured interview or evidence the candidate already has.

What is the difference between TestGorilla and Codility?

TestGorilla is broad: tests across cognitive ability, personality, language and many role types, plus AI interviews and sourcing. Codility is focused on engineering: realistic coding tasks, interviews in VS Code and mapping engineering skills. Which fits depends on how technical the role is.
