Best Skills Assessment Tools
Timed tests work for technical and cognitive skills. Skill videos work for service, craft, and presence-based skills. Most teams need both, but pick the one that actually measures the work.

Candidate Assessment Software
Pick based on what predicts success in the role: cognitive tests for problem-solving roles, skill videos for craft and presence roles, personality assessments cautiously and only when validated for the job.

How to Evaluate a Resume
Evaluate resumes for relevance (last 2 roles), trajectory (growth or churn), and specifics (numbers, scope). Ignore formatting, length, and buzzwords. For service and craft roles, supplement with a skill video, the resume rarely predicts the work.

Best Video Interview Software
Live video for final-round corporate hiring. Async video for high-volume structured screening. Verified skill videos for service, craft, and presence-based roles where a structured Q&A misses the actual signal.

Coding Tests vs Skill Demonstrations
Coding tests predict abstract problem-solving in a controlled environment. Skill demonstrations predict craft and real-world performance. For software engineering, both have a place; for service, trades, and craft work, demonstrations win every time.

Hiring Through Work Samples
A well-designed work sample takes a candidate under 60 minutes, mirrors a real first-30-day task, and is graded by at least two reviewers against named criteria. For service and craft roles, a skill video is often the strongest sample of all.
