Our mission
Our mission is to help businesses and job seekers validate real skills with confidence; beyond what’s written on a resume.
Have you hired someone who can’t actually use the software your business runs on?
Yeah, we’ve been there too.
In a world where most job applications still rely on resumes and vague self-assessments, it’s no wonder so many hires fall short when it’s time to get hands-on.
Whether it’s Xero, Power BI, MYOB, Adobe, Canva, or any of the countless other tools businesses rely on daily... saying “I’m proficient” means very little without proof.
We built TestInvest to fix that.

The problem
Hiring the wrong person is expensive.
Training the wrong person is exhausting.
And trusting someone who can’t deliver? That’s dangerous.
When we looked at why these mismatches happen, the answer was clear:
Most hiring decisions are based on gut feel, guesswork, or a shiny resume.
That might be fine for some roles but when your business runs on software, you need to know the person you’re hiring can actually use it.
Our solution
TestInvest gives you the tools to verify real software skills before you hire.
We’re building a growing library of assessments created by industry experts, covering tools used every day in accounting, design, admin, analysis, customer service, and more.
We help you:
-
Identify top performers before they step into the role
-
Save time and money on poor hires
-
Build a team that can hit the ground running
No more guesswork. Just real data on real skills.
How it works - it's a seriously simple process
1. Select assessments
Choose assessments aligned to the software and role.
2. Invite candidates
Send an invite via a secure link. Candidates complete the assessment remotely.
3. Compare results
See strengths, skill gaps, and job readiness. Results and development plan available instantly. Shortlist with confidence.
Candidates don't just receive a score. They get a development plan.
TestInvest doesn’t just tell you how a candidate performed, it shows you what to do next.
Every candidate assessment includes a detailed Personal Development Plan (PDP) that goes beyond pass/fail logic. These insights help your team make smarter hiring decisions and reduce the cost of onboarding and training.
You’ll receive:
-
A breakdown of performance by software skill category
-
Highlighted strengths that show what a candidate can already do well
-
Clear, actionable improvement areas. No fluff.
-
A tailored upskilling plan you can hand to your internal trainer or the candidate
-
Estimated time-to-proficiency and cost-to-ramp (based on your hourly training cost)
Whether you're hiring juniors who need coaching or mid-level candidates who need to hit the ground running, TestInvest helps you understand what they'll need, and what it’ll cost, before you hire.
Prove skills. Build trust. Get ahead.
