The Challenge
Early-stage non-tech founders often face significant challenges when it comes to tech hiring. Assessing technical skills can be difficult without a technical background, making it hard to judge whether a candidate has the expertise to meet the company’s needs. Additionally, attracting top talent is a challenge, especially when competing against larger companies with more established tech teams. This may lead to potentially bad hires.
Since Gloroots is building a global product that will be used by hiring teams worldwide, they could not risk hiring poor quality engineers on their team.
The Solution
Equip's assessments helped them overcome these challenges. By providing standardized tests that objectively measure candidates’ skills, the founders could confidently assess technical abilities without needing deep technical knowledge themselves. They were able to also streamline the hiring process, enabling founders to quickly identify qualified candidates and better manage their hiring goals and timelines.
The Result
- Conducted successful campus hiring drives at IIT Dhanbad, IIT Bhubaneswar, and IIT Bhilai.
- Utilized assessments to streamline the selection process and focus on high-potential candidates.
- Shortlisted the top 10-20% of candidates on average, ensuring the recruitment of the most qualified individuals.
- Improved the efficiency of the hiring process, reducing the time and resources spent on manual evaluation.
- Provided a data-driven approach to identifying top talent across multiple campuses.
Saved me a lot of time hiring developers.
I can screen developers even though I am not a technical founder. Earlier, I would rely on friends and online resources for this. This was quite adhoc and time-consuming. Equip’s technical assessments help me get to the most relevant candidates directly.

Why Equip
Gloroots made the switch from TestGorilla to Equip for their tech hiring needs for several key reasons:
- Better Question Banks for Tech Skills: Gloroots needed more comprehensive and relevant technical assessments, especially for evaluating specific tech skills. Equip provided an expansive question bank that was not only more aligned with their hiring requirements but also gave them the ability to assess candidates on a broader range of specialized skills, helping them make more informed hiring decisions.
- Enhanced Campus Hiring Features: For Gloroots, campus hiring is a critical part of their recruitment strategy. Equip’s platform offered robust campus hiring features that streamlined the process, making it easier to engage with candidates, manage large volumes of applicants, and efficiently assess talent from multiple campuses. These features provided a more targeted approach to identifying top talent, which was essential for Gloroots' hiring success.
- Affordable Pricing: One of the standout reasons for Gloroots switching to Equip was the pricing model. Equip charges just $1 per candidate, with no upfront annual fees. This flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing structure was more affordable and better suited to Gloroots’ needs as a growing company, compared to TestGorilla’s pricing model, which required higher upfront costs.
