Hiring tools to help you and your team hire smarter
Hiring decisions can be costly. You need more to go on than a few interviews and affirmations from a candidate’s references. We help you get data-driven, insight on a candidate’s past performance on the skills and competencies that matter for the job.
Here’s a snapshot example of the report from the SkillSurvey Reference Pre-Hire 360 workflow. It helps recruiters and hiring managers better understand their job candidates and there are additional hiring tools to prep for interviews and compare candidates at a glance.

Predictive talent analytics
And that leads to one of the most critical parts in the report. We call it “Predictive Analytics” because our research indicates that this data is predictive of whether a candidate will have a successful first year on the job.
