What e-testing does

E-testing is the commercial brand of SA E-Valuatio, a France-based provider of online skills and personality assessment software founded around 1999 and headquartered in Nantes. The platform delivers a catalog of 550+ tests covering hard skills (across BTP, IT, Industry, Languages, Finance, Office, Logistics, Aptitude), soft skills and personality, workplace risk prevention (including serious games), and professional orientation — delivered in 8 languages and used by approximately 6,000 organizations across 20 countries, with over 1 million tests administered annually. E-testing monetizes through subscription and enterprise licensing on a quote-based, direct sales model, with revenue supplemented by custom test development professional services. Customers are concentrated in four primary segments: temporary staffing agencies (Synergie, Randstad deployed across 900+ French agencies, Manpower, GI Group, Hays), HR departments of SMEs through large enterprises (Banque Populaire, Institut Curie), schools and training organizations (CESI, ES École Supérieure d'Assurance, Sup de Com), and recruitment consultancies.

The technology stack is built around a cloud-delivered assessment platform with white-label customization, ATS/SIRH/CRM integration capability (including a confirmed integration with Taleez), and dedicated risk-prevention serious games. Content is contributed by a network of 150+ industry experts. The portfolio has been expanded through three acquisitions — Le site des tests (2020), Oojob (2021), and Mental'O (March 2025, orientation specialist) — alongside organic product launches (Risk Cards November 2024, Restauration Collective serious game March 2025) and a January 2025 rebrand. E-testing is privately held by management with no disclosed institutional funding and operates with a 1–10 employee team.

Direct peers

• TestGorilla: Amsterdam-based pre-employment assessment platform offering a large catalog of skills, cognitive, personality and culture-add tests for HR and recruiters. Directly comparable to E-testing on product category, target buyer (HR/recruitment), and SaaS delivery model, with significantly greater scale and venture funding.
• AssessFirst: French talent assessment platform combining personality, motivation and cognitive assessments for recruitment and development. Closest French-headquartered direct competitor to E-testing, serving overlapping HR and enterprise customers with a similar psychometric testing proposition.
• Central Test: French psychometric assessment publisher offering a catalog of personality, cognitive and competency tests for recruitment, mobility and career management. Directly comparable to E-testing on psychometric content, French/European market focus and HR/recruitment buyer.
• Eval&Go: French online assessment platform offering ready-to-use and customizable tests in soft skills, hard skills, language and digital for HR and training. Closely comparable to E-testing in catalog breadth, target buyer (HR, schools, training organizations) and French-market positioning.

Broad incumbents

• SHL: Global leader in talent assessment and psychometric solutions for large enterprises, offering cognitive, personality and skills assessments at scale. Competes with E-testing for the same enterprise assessment budgets but with a much broader product suite, deeper analytics, and global delivery.
• Mercer Mettl: Online assessment platform (owned by Mercer/Oliver Wyman) covering skills, psychometric, coding and behavioral tests for hiring and learning. Directly overlaps E-testing's hard-skills and psychometric offering while adding Mercer's consulting reach and broader HR-services context.
• Thomas International: International psychometric assessment provider offering personality, cognitive and workplace safety assessments to HR and enterprise customers. Competes with E-testing on personality and risk-prevention testing with broader global delivery and longer-established brand.
• Cegid Talent (formerly Talentsoft): Major French HR and talent management suite (LMS, performance, recruitment) that increasingly integrates or competes with standalone assessment vendors. Relevant as a French enterprise HR incumbent that can either bundle assessments or partner with E-testing for content.

Emerging players

• Codility: Tech-skills assessment platform focused on coding and engineering hiring, used by recruiters and staffing firms. Overlaps with E-testing's IT skills-testing module but specializes deeper in technical recruiting, representing both a competitor for IT-test share and a potential partnership target for staffing agencies.

Regional players

• Beetween: French ATS/recruitment software provider targeting SMEs and mid-market, listed as an E-testing GTM/webinar partner. Adjacent rather than head-to-head, but competes for the same HR-tech budget in French SMEs and could evolve into a more direct competitor if it layers assessment features.
