Candidate Evaluation: Measure what matters—skills, fit, and potential.

Resumes only tell part of the story. We help you see the full picture. Our evaluation process goes beyond keywords and gut instinct, focusing instead on real qualifications and data-driven insights—so you can identify best-fit candidates quickly and accurately.
Screening Candidates

Smart Screenings That Actually Predict Success

Say goodbye to generic filters and keyword scanning. Our screening process is fully customized, predictive, and built to improve both accuracy and candidate experience.

Built Around What Matters

Our screenings are tailored to the job—not a one-size-fits-all form. Every question maps back to what actually drives success in the role, so you can screen for what matters most.

No Resume Required (Unless you say)

We skip the resume and get right to the good stuff: job-relevant questions that highlight ability, not formatting. This creates a fairer process and produces 6x more usable data than a resume.

Better for Candidates, Too

Candidates get a smooth, respectful experience that feels relevant—not robotic. This leads to lower drop-off rates, a better employer impression, and more engaged applicants.

More Accurate Than Keyword Scanning

Keyword filters miss great talent. Our screenings are 40% more predictive than resumes and remove bias from the process—so you don’t overlook your next best hire.

You Set the Standards

You decide what the minimum qualifications and requirements are for each job—whether that’s experience, certifications, skills, or something else. We’ll help you shape those standards with expert advice and insights based on what we’ve seen work best, so you can screen efficiently without accidentally filtering out great candidates.
Tailored Assessments

Assessments That Reveal True Fit

Choose customizable assessments that improve your ability to predict candidate success. Each one is tailored to the specific role and your company’s success factors—including the questions, the scoring weights behind them, and the assessment types you need.
Mockup

Personality Assessment

The BVI assessment measures how well a candidate’s personality aligns with a specific role and your company culture. It generates a 1–100 Personality Fit score based on ten personality traits across five core dimensions—each weighted according to what matters most for that job. Because every role is different, the scoring adjusts accordingly—so a programmer isn’t evaluated the same way as a customer service rep. The result: deeper insight, better fit, and smarter hiring decisions.
Mockup

Situational Judgment

Our Situational Judgment Test presents candidates with realistic, job-related scenarios and asks them to choose the best response. Each scenario has an ideal answer based on common-sense problem solving and alignment with your organization’s culture. SJTs are highly predictive of on-the-job success—nearly as accurate as structured interviews, but far easier to scale. We continuously track performance data to keep only the most predictive questions, helping you identify who’s truly interview-worthy.
Mockup

Problem Solving

The Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI) assesses critical thinking across math, logic, mechanical reasoning, and more—tailored to the unique demands of your role. Developed by PhD-level Industrial Psychologists, each test can be taken remotely and includes optional proctoring features like screen recording and browser restrictions to help ensure test integrity. The PSI helps you identify high-potential candidates while keeping the process fair, secure, and scalable.
Mockup

Outlook Inventory

The Outlook Inventory (OI) assesses key traits like safety awareness, teamwork, and motivation—crucial for roles where dependability matters most. Whether you're hiring operators, technicians, or other safety-sensitive positions, the OI helps you identify candidates who are more likely to follow protocols, support team goals, and stay committed on the job. It’s a targeted, time-efficient way to reduce risk and build a high-performing, reliable workforce.

Job Skills

Whether you're hiring a mechanical technician, a software engineer, a sales rep, or an AI specialist — success comes down to role-specific skills. Our job skills assessments are built to measure exactly what matters for the job at hand. From mechanical reasoning and systems thinking to sales aptitude and data literacy, we help you evaluate the core competencies that actually impact on-the-job performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About HireScore’s Evaluation Features

Everything you need to know about how we help you evaluate candidates.
How are assessments customized to fit each job?
Every assessment is tailored to the specific job and organization. Your Project Manager works with you to select the most relevant assessments—from situational judgment to personality to technical skills—and aligns the questions to the responsibilities, culture, and success factors of the role. In the end, the assessments you choose and questions in each assessment is up to you.
Are HireScore’s assessments validated?
Yes. All of HireScore’s core assessments are scientifically validated by PhD-level Industrial-Organizational Psychologists and built on decades of research in predictive hiring. Our assessments undergo regular psychometric review to ensure they are job-relevant, reliable, and fair across diverse candidate groups.

We follow EEOC guidelines and professional testing standards to ensure our tools support equitable, legally defensible hiring practices. From cognitive ability tests to situational judgment and personality fit assessments, each tool is backed by data and designed to predict on-the-job success—not just resume qualifications.
What parts of the hiring process can we automate with HireScore?
HireScore lets you automate key parts of your evaluation workflow to save time and reduce manual effort. You can automatically invite candidates to complete assessments based on their pre-screening responses, advance or reject applicants using score thresholds, and trigger interview scheduling as they progress through the funnel. The platform also sends branded, customizable messages to candidates—like reminders, confirmations, and next steps—keeping communication consistent and professional. Your dedicated project manager will help you set up the automated workflows you'd like to use in your process.

Essentially, you can automate the candidate journey from sourcing all the way to the interview, so your team can focus on what matters most: conducting a high-quality interview and making the final hiring decision—while HireScore handles the manual admin work in the background.
How are candidates ranked and scored?
Candidates are automatically scored using advanced machine learning models aligned with your job’s unique success factors. Our system uses a whole-person evaluation approach, meaning candidates are assessed not just on experience and qualifications, but also on job-relevant skills, competencies, personality fit, and long-term potential.

Each component is scored using a customizable weighted model, allowing you to prioritize what matters most for the role—whether that’s situational judgment, cultural alignment, problem-solving, or all of the above. Candidates receive a score on a 0–100 scale, giving you a clear view of overall fit.

The results are delivered in a ranked list, so your team can focus on the top-performing applicants—without the need for resume scanning or manual sorting.

Why it matters: This structured, data-driven scoring process reduces bias, increases accuracy, and delivers a predictive shortlist built around your hiring priorities—fast. Our partners experience up to a 95% hiring success rate using the HireScore evaluation and selection process.
Can we customize the reports we receive?
Yes. You can fully customize what data appears in your reports—assessment scores, application responses, sourcing information, completion rate, and more. Upon request our team can even compile custom reports such as an EEOC report. Reports can be easily downloaded as a PDF file. You can also upload documents and files into HireScore so you can have everyting in one easily accessable place.
How long does the evaluation process take for candidates?
It depends on which and how many assessments you choose to include, and how customized or in-depth you’d like the evaluation to be. On average, most candidates complete the full process in 10 to 20 minutes.

What sets HireScore apart is how our partners experience extremely low drop-off rates—even with assessments—because every question is job-relevant, fair, and respectful of the candidate’s time. Instead of clicking through a generic application or worrying about resume keywords, candidates actually learn about the job as they apply and know they’re being evaluated based on who they are and what they can do—not just what’s on a document.

This removes the pressure to outsource resume writing to a service, an AI tool, or someone else entirely, and it leads to more genuine, better-aligned candidates who are truly interested in your role. The results? Better hires and reduced turnover.
