These days it can be hard to differentiate between what people know and what
people know to say. The proliferation of career coaches and resume manuals
has helped applicants but has hurt the professionals who have to compare them.
To hire the right people—the best people—you have to get beyond the
resume to find out what candidates actually know.
PowerHires' questionaire system solves this problem
free-form questions allow you to drill down to topics specifically related to your job opening
multiple choice questions allow you to target specific areas and have the answers automatically scored
standardized experience and education questions allow you to easily compare candidates
The combination of standardized experiencial questions with customized multiple choice questions
allows PowerHires to generate a customized, objective score for each applicant that
orders the candidates from best to worst
allows you to automatically screen out candidates
allows you to focus on your best candidates
All before you read a single resume or call a single candidate.
The core component of this system is an online application process
collecting each applicant's credentials
