Improve the quality of your hires. Hire the candidates that have higher scores in the assessments. Our tests are made by subject-matter experts and are a reliable indicator to predict job success.
Spend your time where it matters. Gather extensive insights from the candidates before you have even interacted with them. Automate your process by posting public links in your job posts and using qualifying questions to pre-screen applicants.
Increase your talent pool. Assess candidates who may not have submitted a resume or could have been rejected in a manual resume-screening process. Evaluate all applicants, whether there are 10 or 100.
Create diverse teams. Prevent subjective judgments and promote diversity by assessing candidates on the skills actually relevant for the job, rather than their ability to write a resume.
It's safe to say that traditional hiring methods aren't saving time for anyone. Job seekers spend hours tweaking resumes, whilst recruiters spend their days sifting through them without gathering any relevant information about what a candidate’s actual skills are. Skills-based hiring, however, cuts right to the chase. Assessing and hiring for a candidate’s skills by using multi-measure assessments is a proven way to hire faster – in fact, 82% of employers using skills-based hiring told us it reduced their time-to-hire. Read on to find out how to hire faster with skills-based hiring.
Hiring the right people determines whether your employees are confident in their roles. When employees are able to perform well, they are less frustrated and more satisfied with their jobs.

You can focus on hiring the right people as a talent retention strategy by assessing candidates objectively through talent assessments. Hiring people who can successfully perform their roles and fit in with the team boosts employee satisfaction and performance. This article navigates the nuanced terrain of recruitment and talent retention trends, helping you understand how to use talent assessments and other strategies to evaluate the skills, culture compatibility, and long-term potential of your candidates to ensure you hire the right people.
Psychometrics – a scientific field focused on testing personality traits and cognitive ability via skill assessments, measurements, and models – makes the difference between an average hire and a great one.

In this article, we examine different types of psychometric testing, provide psychometric assessment examples, and give you tips on how to use them to find the best talent.
