Pre-hire assessments have been used for over 6 decades now.  Why?  They represent a proven way to make better, more efficient hiring decisions.  In fact, recent research by the well-respected NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research), showed that mechanical prediction models based on pre-hire assessments can lead to better hiring outcomes (check out our blog for more details).   In other words, fast and simple models can beat painful manual decisions. 

But, we still believe humans have an important role in hiring and assessing talent.  Companies should NOT be trying to replace them.  However, we are equally certain that modern assessments and machine learning improve human decision making.

Our engagements with large, medium and small clients across job and industry types add to this belief.  So, if you are still screening all applicants manually, or relying on a single type of assessment, we would love to speak with you.
