Know Who You're Hiring Before the First Interview
CVs tell you where someone worked. Our assessment tells you what they can actually do, how they communicate, and whether they'll fit your team.
Why This Matters
You've been there. A CV looks promising, you spend an hour interviewing, and within ten minutes you know it's not a fit. Or worse, you hire someone whose skills don't match their resume.
Our assessment gives you verified information before you invest time in interviews. You'll know their actual skill level, how they communicate, what motivates them, and whether their credentials are real.
What Every Candidate Goes Through
Each person completes a thorough assessment combining AI precision with human judgment. Here's what they face.
Technical Skills Test
AI-designed test matching their profession. Software developers get coding challenges, marketers analyze campaign data. Scored automatically with no human bias.
Soft Skills Assessment
Behavioral questionnaire covering teamwork, communication, stress tolerance, and adaptability. AI analyzes patterns, HR experts validate results.
Video Introduction
Candidates record a short video introducing themselves. AI evaluates communication style, then human experts review for authenticity and presence.
Credential Verification
Degrees, certificates, and licenses are verified for authenticity. Two-layer check: AI cross-references databases, humans review flagged items.
Live Interview
Conversation with trained assessor covering motivation, problem-solving approach, and cultural fit. Standardized scoring keeps things consistent.
Final Report
Everything comes together in one document. Technical scores, soft skills profile, video summary, verified credentials, and interview notes.
Alternative: Written Motivation Letter
Candidates who aren't comfortable on camera can submit a written motivation letter instead of the video. It's evaluated for clarity, structure, and career alignment. However, because videos reveal more about communication style and presence, they carry more weight in the final assessment.
How We Evaluate Soft Skills
Technical skills tell you if someone can do the job. Soft skills tell you if they'll do it well with your team. Here's how we measure them.
The Assessment Format
Candidates complete online exercises similar to a personality or situational judgment test. They might agree or disagree with statements, rank responses to workplace scenarios, or select how they'd react in specific situations.
These aren't trick questions. There are no "right" answers. We're looking at patterns in how they respond, which reveal their natural work style and tendencies.
Traits We Measure
Clear Roles: AI Analyzes, Humans Decide
To be completely transparent about how this works: AI analyzes patterns and consistency in responses. It flags trends and provides data-driven indicators. But the final interpretation and evaluation are always made by trained human assessors (HR psychologists and behavioral experts).
AI brings speed and objectivity. Humans bring judgment, context, and nuance. No candidate is ever evaluated by AI alone. A human expert always reviews the findings before any conclusions are drawn about soft skills.

What the Video Introduction Reveals
A 1-2 minute video tells you things a CV never can. Here's what our analysis looks for.
Clarity & Fluency
How clearly they speak, their pace, use of filler words, and ability to express ideas without rambling.
Language Proficiency
Their command of the language, vocabulary range, and grammatical accuracy in a natural speaking context.
Confidence & Tone
Voice quality, steadiness, and whether they project confidence without coming across as arrogant.
Body Language
Eye contact with the camera, posture, natural gestures, and overall professional presence.
Structure & Coherence
How well they organize their thoughts. Do they have a clear intro, main points, and conclusion?
Enthusiasm & Engagement
Genuine interest and energy. Does their passion for the field come through in how they speak?
AI + Expert Review
The AI provides an initial assessment, flagging things like speech rate, filler words, or lack of eye contact. Then a human expert (a communication coach or HR assessor) reviews the video and the AI's findings. They look at nuances like authenticity, personality, and cultural context that AI might miss. You get a concise summary highlighting the candidate's communication style and professional presence.
Credential Verification: Trust Built on Truth
Every degree, certificate, and license is checked. You see verified badges, not just claims.
Two-Layer Verification
Our platform uses AI to quickly cross-check documents against databases and standards. Then our team manually reviews anything flagged or performs additional checks as needed.
Routine checks happen fast. Questionable documents get human attention. The result is both speed and accuracy.
What We Verify
- University degrees and diplomas
- Professional certificates and licenses
- Trade qualifications
- Academic transcripts
- Letters of reference (when included)
International Qualifications
"Anerkennung" is the German term for official recognition of foreign qualifications. By verifying credentials, we help ensure that international candidates get proper credit for their education and training.
A degree earned abroad gets the same trust as a local one. This promotes fair, equal opportunity hiring and helps you access talent from anywhere in the world.
Why this matters for you: You never have to wonder if a qualification is real. With verified documentation, you can rely on the information and focus on whether the candidate is the right fit, not whether their resume is accurate.
Why AI + Human Works Better
Pure AI misses context. Pure human assessment is slow and inconsistent. We combine both for results you can trust.
What AI Brings
- Consistent scoring across all candidates
- No bias based on names, photos, or backgrounds
- Pattern detection in behavioral responses
- Instant technical skill evaluation
What Humans Add
- Context and nuance in soft skill evaluation
- Cultural fit judgment from live conversation
- Authenticity detection in video introductions
- Final review of credential verification

Standardized Scoring Rubric
To keep this live assessment as objective and consistent as possible, our assessors use a standardized scoring rubric. They rate candidates on defined criteria, giving a numeric score (1-5) for factors like enthusiasm, clarity, and cultural fit indicators.
Excellent (5/5)
Specific examples, clear articulation, personal responsibility shown
Average (3/5)
Acceptable response but vague or lacking depth
Needs Work (1/5)
Shallow answers, blaming others, or no clear reflection
Using a structured scoring system ensures every interviewer evaluates on the same scale. It brings transparency and fairness, removing personal bias from the process.
Ethics, Privacy & Data Protection
We take data protection and ethical evaluation seriously. Here's what you should know about how we handle candidate information:
Human-in-the-Loop
Every evaluation is reviewed by trained human assessors. AI assists with analysis, but humans make all final decisions. No candidate is ever assessed by algorithm alone.
No Automatic Rejection
Candidates are never automatically rejected based on AI analysis. Human reviewers evaluate all results, ensuring fair consideration for everyone who completes the assessment.
GDPR Compliant
All data (including video, behavioral responses, and credentials) is processed with explicit candidate consent and in full compliance with GDPR and applicable privacy regulations.
Candidates control their data. They consent before each assessment step, and they choose which employers can view their reports. We believe transparency builds trust, for both you and the people you're hiring.
Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.
Every candidate you consider has already been assessed. You get the full picture before your first conversation.
