The Hire Talent is part of our hiring process. Their % chance of success predictor is consistent.

We use their software assessments to assist in hiring decisions. We have learned the hard way when we don't follow our benchmarks it can come back to haunt us.

Pros

It helps us make solid hiring decisions. We have a minimum benchmark score for applicants. We can also consider areas of importance such as attention to detail, and whether the applicant is more suited to a customer facing role or a technical role.

Cons

There is a learning curve, but the support is always there to help interpret the results. I do highly recommend.

Great Applicant Screening Tool

The service is easy to use, tests are affordable, test results are in my inbox almost immediately, and customer service has been responsive.

Pros

We have used the Detail Skills test to screen applicants for our medical front desk position. It is a very good measure of attention to detail-quite difficult for many people, as it turns out. A high score on the test has meant a good fit for us. Some of our applicants have complained that the instructions for taking the test were misleading and hard to follow-that too has been a helpful part of our screening process. If they can't follow the instructions, they aren't likely to succeed in the job.

Cons

The online customer portal was still in development last time I logged on-I wasn't able to find past test results. It's not a big problem, because all results have been emailed anyway.

Uncertainty

We were using the Hire Talent for assessments but have drifted away from it because of so many mixed results.

Pros

I like the information that the assessment should be able to provide.

Cons

I do not have faith in the software's actual validity and the confirmation of it's findings/reviews.

Worth investing in

Overall I definitely think it is worth the investment. We've been able to make smarter hires for some critical roles such as sales and customer support. The cost is offset in the long run since there is lower turnover so we end up saving a ton on recruiting and training.

Pros

We've been using The Hire Talent to administer assessments to new candidates as part of their interview process. The reports we receive provide valuable insight into the thinking process of the new-hire and help us predict how successful that hire could be in that specific role.

Cons

There aren't too many problematic red flags, just a few minor things that come to mind. I think the client portal could use some updating. It isn't the most intuitive interface. Also one the reports, there is a section for "chance of a good hire". These numbers often seem like a shocker compared to how the person had performed on some parts of the assessment, so I'd say not to read too much into that score.

A very powerful hiring tool that suits our business & mission perfectly.

Pros

It becomes very clear that The Hire Talent has some incredibly powerful features, right away. The results have become increasingly accurate & we're able to accommodate to our candidates better than ever before.

Cons

We knew The Hire Talent was right for us but we were initially concerned with the cost & customer support. Well, we're glad we reached out because we learned it's very affordable & customer service is phenomenal.

A Great Service

My experience has been outstanding. In every aspect, I am provided with good service. If I have a question, it is answered promptly and thoroughly. I feel as though I have a ready consultant on my shoulder ready to assist and discuss with me any difficult choices that result from the results of the testing. They have this area nailed, and I am very satisfied and content with the system.

Pros

I like the ability to screed in the right person for the job I like the ease of use I like the customer service

Cons

No Cons to report. I really like the value that I get from using all aspects of this service.

Would not hire without this

So, I would not hire another staff member without having them take this attention to detail test. We tested it on people who we had an idea of their attention to detail and found it to be spot on. I have used it as a tool for my last several hires and would not want to hire again without this test. I love it!

Pros

I feel like the detail test is a pretty accurate predictor of attention to detail

Cons

There was nothing I didn't like. The only thing that would be better is free, but everyone has to make it profit.

Best recruiting firm hands down!

Pros

Extremely thorough team that takes there time to learn about your company and your needs. The interview and screening process is meticulous and the testing results they provide truly help you decide on the best candidates. I HIGHLY recommend this firm!

Cons

No Cons.. they are amazing and the price is very fair. We've tried alot of firms and this crew is by far the best.

The software helps us to determine whom to hire and not to hire.

Pros

Able to evaluate a person before hiring them. The software has really helped us. We are able to review in a group and get everyone's opinion.

Cons

Maybe not making the assessments so long to take, make them a little shorter in time. Other then this there is no cons with the software.

Very useful tool for hiring staff!

The customer service is above and beyond. My questions have always been answered in a timely fashion and the test results are almost immediate.

Pros

Very user friendly. Love that I can test and screen potential new hires prior to making a job proposal.

Cons

The testing does seem to be very advanced. Would love a more simplified version.

The Hire Talent Review

Overall the eperience has been Great.

Pros

Over I find out the software very useful due to the fact of having a hands on practice since an interview day, this helps us have lots more vision in regards to the type of profiles received and also guides us through decision making.

Cons

There is situations in which the page gets frozen and we have to start all over.

Great product, team

Pros

Our company uses this product daily as we continue to grow and hire new employees. The assessments aid our team in screening potential talent and making the smartest decisions for our company.

Cons

I cannot think of anything that I do not like about this software/program.

The Hire Talent is a superb, high quality staffing service.

Excellent employees and learned a great deal about the entire process.

Pros

The candidates recommended to me were carefully selected and thoroughly vetted. Detailed information was provided to each candidate via excellent tests and thorough interviews of the candidates and references. Our employees hired through The Hire Talent are outperforming all employees hired through other sources. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Great tools for great results

Pros

This really helps when evaluating candidates . In the past I was flying blindly when it came to recruitment. Without any incite it is very hard to create unique questions to dig more into someone's experience and unique skillsets. These tools really helped me prepare for interviews and get to know candidates better

Cons

It takes a little time and practice to get it all down but it is well worth it

Employee testing software

The Hire Talent and their testing software are valuable tools when it comes to trying to find the right fit for your company. It's amazing how accurate their tests are and how the detailed results really help you pin point someone's strengths and weaknesses. I highly recommend their services!

Pros

The tests are a great way to evaluate potential candidates to hire, and we found the results to be extremely helpful in the hiring process.

Cons

Our experience was all positive. I can't really think of anything that they should be doing different.

Great product!

Results from the Hire Talent have helped us to improve our questions for applicants. Also, when we do hire employees, we know what their strengths and weaknesses are and can tailor our training for them. This software helps us to select better employees.

Pros

It really does give a fantastic overview of a prospective employee's aptitude and abilities. The results are mostly understandable. In times where you are not sure of the results, customer service is available to help.

Cons

The Word & Excel tests are a few versions behind what everyone is using. Candidates also complained about being able to complete the Word & Excel assessments.

Great experience, very helpful, only Hire testing I have confidence in.

Great to have so much software at one place

Pros

The great testing results in great hires. I have used the tests for 19 years and won't hire without testing first. Results have been exactly what I found the employee to be like after working together. Considering the cost of a bad hire, this is a great deal.

Cons

That I need to do the test myself in order to see how the employees working with me will fit into the culture of the company. But it always pays off to see the whole picture

Good results, but not very transparent

Overall, the experience has been good. The customer support has always been helpful when we reach out. However, if the client interface was a little more robust, we wouldn't have the need. We are always encouraged to ask for details about the test results, but my inquiries haven't been satisfied.

Pros

Overall, the personality tests seem very accurate for evaluating good hires.

Cons

The skills test, primarily the details test, are definitely on the steeper end of the grading spectrum. We have had difficulty getting passing results from a wide range of candidates.

We use pre-employment tests for hiring decisions.

Hiring help

Pros

We use a few assessments that provide critical information in weeding out applicants who would not be a good fit for the position we are hiring for or for the company. I know using these assessments have decreased our employee turnover rate.

Cons

I am very happy with the software. The only thing I can report negatively is maybe less promotional emails.

Review

We are using the tests to screen employees pre hire.

Pros

Easy to send tests to candidates. Easy to discuss tests results with someone.

Cons

Some candidates can not load the tests. There is not one to call concerning this that knows how to help them.

I always struggled to right person for my office position. The Hire Talent fix my problem.

Hire a person that fits the needs of the job, thus a win-win because the employee is happy with their job.

Pros

New approach to finding qualified people to work for my company. The software can be customized to fit my needs. Easy to administer, and the result were quickly returned to me. It was accurate and easy to use. The cost fit my budget

Cons

I found nothing negative about the software. The approach was different from any other similar, but the resulted exceeded my expentations.

Great tool for evaluating prospective employees!

Evaluations have been spot-on, response time on receiving evaluations has been good, customer service very responsive. Satisfied customer!

Pros

We have used TheHireTalent evaluations for a couple years now. We have found the evaluations to be very accurate and helpful in the hiring process and will continue to use them for future hires.

Hiring that Doesn't Hurt

I had a couple of questions about the software. I was dreading asking for help. BUT the team over at Hire Talent was freaking great about answering my questions. Turnaround times were great and gave me hope for tech support people all over the world. =)

Pros

I can't stress enough how happy I am to have a tool to benchmark with. It's hard enough hiring without any data. The Hire Talent gives me more confidence to make decisions. I'm a data nerd and it sooths my empirical itch.

Cons

There's no magic "make all my decisions for me" button.

I found the process to be organized and easy.

Was able to get a better understanding of potential candidates and used this software to measure our steps in the process of moving forward or stopping the hiring process.

Pros

I thought the customer service was remarkable. The software was easy to use, and timeliness of the follow up reports were great.

Cons

Although the follow up reports seem very reliable. I thought the results in very few instances when measured were not specific enough to our industry. However, I we would use them again.

Excellent tool to be used for determining the proper fit for a role

We used the software to help us determine the proper candidate for a role. The software helped us eliminate a few candidates by helping us narrow down interview questions. We definitely made the right choice on our candidate and the software made it clear who we should be hiring.

Pros

I enjoyed the ability to review the analysis of the test takers and ask The Hire Talent questions that would help me determine the direction in follow-up interviews.

Cons

Nothing. I truly enjoyed the software and we will continue to use it in the future.

Use the Hire Talent as another tool to rank potential job candidates

Helps with ranking job candiates

Pros

Provides a method to objectively rank candidates beyond subjective reference checks and interview results.

Cons

Results can sometimes be contradictory between different tests. Test results are not always straightforward to interpret.

Hire Talent

Pros

It has been incredibly useful for us to receive real-time results on our candidates' performance. It helps our interview process to have immediate performance feedback and simplifies hiring decisions.

Cons

I wish there was more detailed information and explanations on candidates' performance. I would like to see a deeper analysis of strengths, weaknesses and performance indicators.

FCS

The customer support is excellent

Pros

It's accurate with plenty of useful information.

Cons

The software is fine, the individual tests themselves are too long for the candidates. All candidates have to take at least two modules, three if the Detail module is included. Takes 45 - 70 minutes.

Telemarketing Assessments

Overall it serves its purpose to filter out unqualified candidates, and provide us with the best possible candidates

Pros

I liked how easy it is to use and send out

Cons

Could not make any edits in pre written message to cnadidates

The Hire Talent service has significantly improved our hiring process!!

This software has helped us hire 5 new hires and counting!

Pros

They can customize test to cater to each of our job openings, detailed test results, which are broken down into multiple categories

Cons

In the beginning, we had several issues with the Excel test which required assistance from 2 staff members. Overall it took nearly 2 weeks until we were able to use this particular test for our Administrative Assistant job openings.

Stephanie is always on point with anything I need and the tests have helped us immensely.

Pros

The ability to determine a candidates ability to perform certain job duties prior to hiring them. The tests allow me to determine if I want to bring a candidate back for a second interview.

Cons

Some of the pricing for certain tests seems to be a little steep in my personal opinion, but otherwise nothing.

We found excellent candidates through their analysis process. Highly recommend.

Pros

What I like most is the results that we have gotten. The tests provide excellent insight into a candidates fit

Cons

Like all tests the results can be skewed by the honesty of answering the question. The honesty rating does help

Critical Piece to Hiring and Retention

Pros

We as recruiters still need to hire our own employees. Without this software we wouldn't be able to make an informed decision based on key metrics that we need from our people here. This is an integral piece of hiring process and I don't know what we would do without.

Cons

There is no negative to this software, only positive.

Customer support is excellent! They are readily accessible to answer questions and share insight.

Pros

I like most the customer service - being able to schedule a call to discuss the reports in general and specific results. It is also very easy to send the link to the people I want to take the assessment.

Cons

Some parts of the reports are confusing and not easy to understand, but the experts at Hire Talent are very accessible to ask questions.

Helpful insight into potential candidates for hire

Pros

It's easy to use and helps me get a better picture of who the candidate is before I decide to hire them.

Excellent Insights on Candidates

Pros

Assessments are accurate and helpful, provide valuable insights into candidates. Really appreciate the correlative reporting for successful/unsuccessful team members, historically.

Cons

Assessments are lengthy - doesn't make the a great candidate experience.

Hiring is the most important thing I do and Hire Talent helps me make better decisions.

Pros

Helping me select the right candidate. I can easily get to any candidates score so I can compare a new prospect's score to a good employee's score. Thereby making a better decision.

Cons

I don't always know which test to use on candidates. I just call Fletcher to figure that out. And sometimes the test is not available for a while - a day.

Most Accurate Data Out There

Accurate data that enables us to make smart hiring decisions.

Pros

Our company uses these assessments in our recruiting process, and we look for any positive or negative trends/behavior based on the data. The reports are easy to understand, and the process of having the candidates complete is seamless.

The hire talent is an excellent resource and tool to assess potential new hires.

I got a better sense of the person I may be hiring.

Pros

I like the ease of use of the software and the quick and easy set up they help you take care of. I like the quick turnaround times after that new potential hire takes assessment tests. I like the fact that you can talk to staff to get more input on the results of the tests. The entire staff at new hire talent is awesome to work with.

Cons

The only thing I do not like about the software, is that it's not a bulletproof way to hire or not hire an employee. You have to use it as a tool and utilize all information gathered and then make your decision.

We have had wonderful customer service and find the process simple and user friendly.

We have saved so much time!

Pros

The software is not clunky and cumbersome like software we have used in the past. We are a small organization and do not have time to waste trying to figure out a more complex system. We have been very happy with the results from using this software.

I told them what I wanted and they set me up with a link to get started

Ability to screen a candidate before I meet with them in the office. Saves time and gives me a better picture of their aptitude for the position being offered.

Pros

That it is easy to find a test that could pre-screen potential candidates. They ask alot of good questions and get the results back in a timely manner.

Enjoyed the seeing results, but had trouble interpreting, needed a bit more training.

It's a good start for us to determine if a program like this will be useful to us and to see if we can implement it as we grow. Right now, I think our company is too small to reap real benefits.

Pros

Seemed to work well, give results expected. We don't have a dedicated HR person or tech position on our staff to help with some of the finer details. With our current staffing levels, we just didn't have the manpower to be able to use the program to it's fullest.

Cons

The layout of the final results could be laid out in a more easily understood/simpler way. We most likely needed more training and to have done more research about ow to implement results from this software.

Great Assessment, Wish It Was More Customizable

Pros

I really like the assessments, and feel it provides great feedback to support our hiring processes.

Cons

I wish there was more capability for me to customize. We recently switched HR Generalists, and had to reach out to someone to change who the assessment results were emailed to. The support team responded right away to fix it, but I wish I had the capability to make the adjustments myself.

Great for one-off testing

It was a pleasurable experience when we needed to use a testing software. The "follow up" calls/emails are a bit much, but I'm sensitive to that.

Pros

We only needed the testing for one position and we narrowed our candidates to a pool of 3. The tests we asked them to take helped us make our decision. The candidate we hired ultimately was rated second on the test out of the three candidates, but we made the right cultural fit for us.

Cons

I don't have any negative comments about the software.

At first I was skeptical, but once I dove in, the results were exceptional. Highly Recommend.

Pros

I liked the options and functionality. This software is much more robust than the software I have used in the past. Pretty quick too. The candidate review process if fantastic. One of the best parts of the software. Also how easy it is to navigate through candidates.

Cons

There is a lot of options and with that, you need to figure out what the most important ones are. So take your time and play with it a little.

Talent acquisition.

Pros

The software is adaptable to meet various talent recruitment needs and criteria in performing specific skill and aptitude assessments.

Cons

There's not much to not like about this software.

it made our hiring process a success

after 12 years of no hiring the software was extremely beneficial in our process

Pros

I appreciated the user friendly software, and the efficiency of quick turn around. Customer service was great also. We hadn't hired in 12 years so the process was extremely helpful and we definatley made the right choice after using the software.

Cons

could we have made the graphs on two potential hires be side to side to refer too? compared to two different print outs?

This has been a game changer for us in the hiring process.

Pros

After the purchase you can still reach out for help with out calling a 800 number and get transferred a bunch of times.

Cons

We would appreciate a walk through of how to interpret the information received, instead of us calling to find out.

I have found great employees through this testing. They don't always score well on the test.

the ability to objectively test candidates across a spectrum that is hard to view objectively.

Pros

I like the breakdown of the candidate's qualities and characteristics. I like how I can get additional feedback and guidance from "The Hire Talent" Staff.

Cons

I don't like the price per test, as I would like to send it to candidates earlier in the interview process but the cost of each test keeps me from doing so.

General Review: The Hire Talent

Great customer service and technical support, I've always had my queries thoroughly answered in a timely manner.

Pros

Simplicity of software, technical/service support

Cons

Nuances in the software (specifically for the Call Center Simulation Test) weren't captured or clear in the instructions. Unclear on-boarding process: back-end/client portal login, vs. customer-facing/test portal.
