EmployTest Earns Two 2026 Capterra Awards
Hiring software wins awards all the time. Most of them are easy to ignore.
But when recognition comes directly from the people who use the product day in and day out, it hits differently.
EmployTest has been named a 2026 award winner by Capterra, earning Best Value and Best Ease of Use in the Pre-Employment Testing category. Both awards are based entirely on verified customer reviews, not panels, not sponsorships, and not marketing spin.
And in a hiring market where speed and accuracy are constantly at odds, that combination matters more than ever.
Hiring Is Already Hard. Your Software Shouldn’t Make It Worse.
Most hiring teams aren’t struggling because they lack tools. They’re struggling because their tools slow them down.
Today’s hiring tools promise “better hiring” but just give you more steps, more setup, and more guesswork.
“Ease of use” has always been a “must-have” for any software, but only a few get recognized officially for it.
EmployTest was built for the reality of hiring today. Small teams. Busy managers. Tight timelines. The goal isn’t to overload users with features. The goal is to help teams make better decisions without dragging the process out.
That focus is exactly what customers highlighted in their reviews.
Why Customers Call Out Value and Ease of Use
The Best Ease of Use award reflects something simple. Hiring teams can get started without hand-holding. There’s no complicated configuration, no technical lift, and no steep learning curve. Teams sign in, start the testss, and get the results.
The Best Value award speaks to something just as important. Employers feel like they’re getting real return on this process. EmployTest helps teams evaluate skills, aptitude, and job fit early in the process, before interviews create false confidence in the applicant.
That early signal saves time, reduces bad hires, and makes decisions easier to defend internally.
“Hiring teams want tools that are clear, practical for the situation, and dependable,” said Ken Crowell, CEO of EmployTest. “Being recognized for both value and ease of use confirms we’re hitting that expectation.”
Awards Backed by Real Experience
Capterra’s awards are driven by what users actually say. Products are evaluated based on overall ratings, number of reviews, and customer sentiment over time. To win, a solution has to earn consistent trust from people who rely on it in real hiring scenarios.
They reflect HR teams who need answers quickly. Hiring managers don’t want more noiseAnd organizations that care about making the right hire without turning the process into a maze.
What This Means for Hiring Teams
If you’re hiring in 2026, chances are you’re under pressure to move faster without lowering standards. You need tools that fit naturally into your workflow and help you spot real skills, early in the process
EmployTest’s recognition for Best Value and Best Ease of Use reinforces a simple idea. Hiring software should reduce uncertainty, not add to it.
And when customers consistently say a platform delivers on that promise, it’s worth paying attention.
