ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Science-driven skills evaluation

As part of our commitment to data-driven full-cycle hiring, our skills tests are rooted in real-world expertise and a strong scientific framework. Our approach leverages rigorous test development and validation techniques to help you make reliable and objective hiring decisions—quickly.

No guess work here —
just pure, science-backed hiring precision

Our assessment methodology aligns with decades worth of research and offers a scientifically validated route to uncovering top talent while also helping you automate processes and reduce time to hire.

Say bye-bye to
hiring bias

Skills tests provide a reliable, objective measure of a candidate's ability, focusing solely on what matters—their skills.

This approach aligns with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) standards and research showing that structured interviews and skills assessments are more predictive of job performance than unstructured interviews.

Science-backed tests created by industry experts

Toggl Hire skills tests draw from a vast database of industry-specific questions created and reviewed by experts. Our thorough process ensures our skills tests are relevant, up-to-date, and aligned with the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP).

By leveraging the expertise of professionals who are actively engaged in their respective fields, you can confidently measure the skills that are crucial for success in the role to reduce the risk of bad hires.

Improve the
candidate experience

A positive candidate experience can make or break the hiring experience. By gamifying the assessment process, we’re making it engaging for candidates while providing valuable insights into their abilities.

Furthermore, skills testing tools that offer features like video intros help level the playing field for all candidates, including those who might struggle with traditional interview processes due to learning disabilities or other conditions.

Quickly uncover
high-quality talent

Research suggests that cognitive ability and personality match are better predictors of job success than years of experience. Skills-testing platforms prioritize these aspects, offering a more accurate and fair assessment of a candidate's potential.

This approach helps you not only automate the process of identifying candidates who are likely to excel in their roles but also opens opportunities for talented individuals who might lack traditional credentials.
