So, today what I want to do is, I want to give you a quick Gappeo review. This is a new tool on AppSumo. And to be honest, this is not a, you know, a CRM or a project manager. This is a tool for HR. It is for hiring people. Let us take a look.
What is Gappeo?
Basically, Gappeo is a talent and skills assessment platform. That is the main idea. It is a SaaS tool that helps you test your job candidates. You know, when you are hiring, you get 100 resumes, but you do not really know who is good. This tool helps you find out. It is built to make your hiring decisions based on real, objective data, not just, uh, not just a feeling from an interview.
How is it useful?
This is the most important part. Why is it useful? The reason is, it saves you so much time. What happens is, instead of you, uh, manually interviewing 50 people, you just send all of them a link to a Gappeo test. They take the test, and you get a report. You can see who has the real skills. It filters out all the people who are not qualified. It also has AI proctoring, you know, to lock their screen and watch their camera to stop cheating. It is a huge, huge time-saver for any company that is hiring.
Features
Now, the features are, to be honest, very comprehensive for hiring. Here are the main ones that I found:
- Large Test Library: It has, I think, over 500 pre-built tests for 1400+ job roles. So, you can test for marketing, for coding, for anything.
- Create Your Own Tests: This is very important. You are not just, you know, stuck with their library. You can create your own custom tests with your own questions, including video questions, MCQs, and coding questions.
- AI Proctoring: The AI will watch the candidate. It does screen recording and, uh, it locks their browser to prevent cheating.
- AI Video Interviews: You can even set up AI-powered video interviews to screen candidates automatically.
Conclusion
So, the final question. Is Gappeo worth it? This is a very, very complex answer. You must listen very, very carefully.
The idea of this tool is a 10/10. The features are amazing. The reviews all say the customer service is “outstanding.”
BUT. This is the most important part. You must look at the Gappeo lifetime deal limits. The deal is limited by “test credits.” Tier 1 only gives you 10 test credits per month. I mean, to be honest, this is nothing. If you have 100 people apply for a job, you can only test 10 of them. This is not a real business solution. One user even said they tried to cheat on the proctoring and nothing happened. So, my verdict is: the tool is a fantastic idea. But the lifetime deal limits are, I think, just too low to be useful for most businesses. You must be very, very careful. Simple as that.
