The typical hiring process

The way companies typically hire is full of problems. It is inefficient and unethical.

Unanalyzed job postings are mass distributed to dozens of platforms. If you make it through the resume sift, you might have a 15-minute phone call.

Resumes and unstructured interviews are full of flawed signifiers open to unconscious bias. Years of experience and education can be misleading.

Halfway through the process, you might engage with your first real indicator of skill, before a quick "gut feeling" meeting with the boss.

And lastly, reference checks — are a notoriously poor predictor of performance.

Assess without bias

Instead of submitting a resume, applicants are anonymized. Their answers to relevant skills-based questions are randomized to remove bias when being marked.

Hiring teams are given an intuitive platform for scoring responses, rich with analytics. The applicant tracking system is based on years of research and behavioral science to remove bias and ensure a fair hiring process. Read more about our shortlisting process here.
