TestGorilla: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

TestGorilla is a platform for candidate assessment in recruitment. Recruiters use its library of skills tests to evaluate candidates, alongside AI-supported screening interviews, candidate sourcing and integrations with applicant tracking systems. The service is accessed through the vendor's web platform, and the site does not describe a self-hosted or open-source version.

The publishing company is TestGorilla B.V., a private limited company registered in the Netherlands. Its privacy policy states that customer assessment data is held on servers in the European Economic Area, that sub-processors located outside the EEA are bound by Standard Contractual Clauses, and that a customer data processing agreement is available. The policy does not name specific data centres or the company's owners, so organisations should check the sub-processor list and the agreement before relying on it. Candidate data is personal data, and for a European employer the Dutch seat and EEA storage are the relevant points.

Why digital sovereignty matters with TestGorilla

TestGorilla is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so TestGorilla scores best on data residency.

TestGorilla is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs TestGorilla together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
