HireBench screens every CV, then scientifically tests each candidate for what actually predicts performance: how smart, hard-working, trustworthy and proactive they are. This process is fully automated, allowing you to only talk to the best candidates at the end.
Decades of research ranked every hiring method by how well it predicts real job performance. The typical ones: CVs, interviews, sit at the bottom. HireBench automates the ones at the top.
Validity coefficients from Schmidt & Hunter's meta-analysis of 85 years of personnel-selection research (Psychological Bulletin, 1998; updated 2016). Proactive personality validity from more recent meta-analyses (Fuller & Marler, 2009; Thomas et al., 2010), which finds it predicts performance slightly better than conscientiousness or integrity. Higher r = stronger prediction of on-the-job performance.
Set it up once. Every applicant goes through the same rigorous pipeline — no manual work required.
Compatible with all job sites including LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. Either using a custom application page, or using bulk CV upload.
Our AI reads each CV against your job description and company context. It evaluates experience, skills, and domain expertise — scoring every applicant on a 1–10 scale per role.
Candidates who pass the CV screen automatically receive cognitive ability tests, personality assessments, and (for technical roles) coding or CAD exercises. Reminder emails are sent if they don't complete them.
Everyone is ranked on a spreadsheet. You can access the spreadsheet and contact the top candidates yourself. Alternatively, the system can handle it for you, and automatically set up interviews on your calendar with the top candidates.
Not keyword matching. Our AI reads every CV in context — your company description, the specific role requirements, the skills that matter. Each candidate gets scored on education, experience, domain expertise, and overall fit.
Timed, multi-section assessments that measure reasoning, pattern recognition, and numerical ability. Each test is randomised and proctored — no answer sharing, no shortcuts.
There are only 4 personality traits that consistently predict job performance in scientific studies: conscientiousness, integrity, emotional stability, and proactive personality. Our system measures all 4, in just 9 minutes. The test uses a forced-choice format, making it impossible to fake a desirable profile.
Software and engineering roles get an additional practical exercise. Coding challenges run in a live sandbox with screen recording. Performance is rated automatically.
def find_optimal_route(graph, start, end):
distances = {start: 0}
queue = [(start, 0)]
while queue:
node, dist = queue.pop(0)
for neighbor, weight in graph[node]:
new_dist = dist + weight
if new_dist < distances.get(
neighbor, float('inf')
):
distances[neighbor] = new_dist
queue.append((neighbor, new_dist))
return distances.get(end)Hiring for sales, support, ops, or admin? AI screens CVs for relevant experience while cognitive and personality tests surface the best communicators and problem-solvers.
Add coding exercises on top of the standard pipeline. Candidates write real code in a live sandbox, with screen recording to verify they solved it themselves.
Mechanical, electrical, or product design roles get CAD exercises with 3D model validation. Spatial intelligence tests are included automatically for technical positions.
Here's what changes when you automate.
Set up your first screening pipeline in minutes. Every applicant gets screened, scientifically tested, and ranked — so you only ever meet the very best.
No commitment required. We'll walk you through the setup.
