The benefits of the recruitment test

1

Recruit with data, not impressions

Stop relying solely on intuition for your decisions. Each candidate is scientifically assessed on the key behavioral and technical skills required for the job: adaptability, rigor, leadership, communication, perseverance, and collaboration skills.

For each position, our tool calculates an automatic compatibility score.

The recruiter immediately knows if the candidate meets the required threshold to succeed in this role.

Result: faster, more accurate decision-making, based on objective information rather than impressions.

Reduce casting errors and recruitment costs

A bad hire costs on average 30 000 € in France (Apec, 2024).

Our recruitment test allows recruiters to pre-screen candidates who are the best fit for the role, the company, and the team. This leads to a more precise selection process and more effective interviews.

Result: up to 80% reduction in recruitment costs and a significant decrease in post-hire turnover.

Why now?

Recruiting has changed

Recruiting is becoming more and more expensive.

  • On average: 35 days to complete a recruitment,

  • €25,000 to €40,000 per hire,

  • 1 in 2 recruitments fail within 18 months (Apec, 2024).

Traditional aptitude and personality tests (PAPI, 16PF, Cattell, PCM…) are no longer sufficient:

  • ❌ Too declarative, therefore biased.

  • ❌ Not contextualized according to the profession.

  • ❌ Without direct correlation to real performance.

Our recruitment test revolutionizes this approach:

It assesses the observable behavioral skills and competencies in a work situation,

It compares the candidate's profile to the actual requirements of the position and the team,

And it automates compatibility scoring even before the interview.

You save time on the recruitment process, you reduce selection errors, you recruit better.

Why is that?
