We ask all candidates for feedback at every stage, including when we give them bad news.
2020 Delivery
We usually spend around 950 hours a year on recruitment. This year with Applied we reduced that to 330 hours. Remarkable
Mike Meredith, Director
Penguin Random House
Applied’s simple process and scoring system allowed us to reach our shortlist in a totally objective way. As a result, we’ve met with and hired some brilliant candidates from outside of our industry

This is so much better than the usual near-random CV screening.

How debiased hiring can help you
Source more diverse candidates
We help you understand which job boards or agencies are providing diverse and high performing candidates.
We then gently steer your hiring managers away from the common job description pitfalls that could scare those candidates away.

Hire without unconscious bias
Our debiasing technology helps you to find candidates who can do the job, not just those who ‘look the part’ or got lucky with an education or career choice.
We help you test what really matters and then blind review without bias.

Protect your employer brand
We make it easy to keep tabs on candidate satisfaction, and give your candidates safe data-driven feedback (not hearing back about a job is the worst).
That way you have more time to build the hiring brand you want.

Measure what matters
Go beyond 'time-to-hire' and measure things that actually improve things.
Measure which sources provide diverse and quality candidates, which of your team are great at interviewing, or which questions actually work.

What they're saying
Penguin Random House
Known throughout the world for sharing some of the greatest stories ever told, Penguin Random House (PRH) are also leaders in how they hire. Their annual talent programme, ‘The Scheme’, is an example of a big, sometimes ‘old skool’ organisation thinking outside the box.
The Scheme helps PRH bring new talent into publishing by specifically not looking for publishing experience. It’s the type of hiring that inspired Applied in the first place. So when they asked for Applied to be the tech behind the 2017 scheme we were thrilled.

"We’ve loved the experience with Applied. It can be really tricky to handle high volumes like we get in the scheme. Applied’s simple process and scoring system allowed us to shortlist in an easy, totally objective way. As a result, we’ve met with some brilliant candidates outside of our industry and hired excellent people.

Staatslabor
Staatslabor — a Switzerland based civic innovation lab — initially used Applied to hire for Interns.
Two of their founders, Alenka Bonnard and Danny Bürkli chose Applied because they wanted to move to a more open and fair hiring process, to ditch outdated time consuming methods and embrace their own organisational values of putting a diverse and innovation team to work on social and civil issues.

"Not being a HR specialist, l found classical recruiting practices particularly fastidious and outdated. Applied has changed everything, I really don’t see myself using any other recruitment tool now.
