About the Market research test

Information and data provide valuable insights, from acquiring a better perspective of the business landscape to a deep understanding of the needs of consumers to surpass the competition. Market research allows us to uncover opportunities and highlight information that will be used for decision-making and business strategy.

This market research test is created for candidates with an intermediate level, which evaluates their knowledge and criteria throughout the research process. The questions are focused on the initiation and planning of the research, the application of different methodologies, and the acquisition and management of data to present recommendations.

Candidates who perform well on this test have demonstrated knowledge and practical experience in marketing research. They know how to define the problem and the objectives, design and conduct the research, have technical knowledge of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and prepare and present data. The test ensures that these candidates have the skills necessary for your company to reap the benefits of properly executed marketing research.

Review from G2

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
