The Hire Talent

Pros

I like how they are cost-effective and their in-depth reports and their amazing customer support!

Cons

Not that I know of. I will update my feedback as soon as I come across one.

Pros

The Hire Talents assessments are so helpful when recruiting for our office. It helps to distinguish the ok employees from the great employees. Aaron is also so helpful and responsive whenever I have a question about the product. Highly recommend!

Cons

Nothing that the Hire Talent can fix. Wish our whole office used them for their ATS.

Reasons for Switching to The Hire Talent

Pros

I really like the new website. It is a central place for me to keep all hiring related notes in one place. The ease with which I can send assessments to candidates directly from the site is great. Now that it includes DiSC assessments, it makes it even more worthwhile to have this service.

Cons

The reports are difficult to interpret. Some terms used for measuring personality characteristics can be misleading. It would be great to have a "cheat sheet" to refer to what it means if a person scores high on "dishonesty" for instance.

Pros

the ability to compare other roles and skills for candidates

Cons

its not as user friendly as others I have used. The interface is a bit confusing to find the candidate

Pros

I have very limited usage at this point, but everything seems smooth to set up and start using. I rated an 8/10 only because I am still very new, but I can see it going higher as I get a chance to use more of the essentials skills assessments. Already it has kept me from a bad hire! Thanks!

Cons

I do not have a "least" yet, but am still very new to using the assessments.

Pros

intuitive software and great customer service from [sensitive content hidden].

Cons

Pediatric ST, PT and OT are just hard to hire for - so it's not really a complaint about hire talent, just reality that it's hard to fill out open positions.

Pros

[sensitive content hidden] is very knowledgeable and easy to work with, with solid ideas for me.

Cons

I can not think of anything that I don't like

Pros

Customer service is so accessible. [sensitive content hidden] is a great listener, problem solver, and teacher.

Cons

Initial learning and vavigation not as intuitive

Pros

User friendly platform. Great customer service. I have had the opportunity to work with [sensitive content hidden] and Aaron, they are very knowledgeable and professional. I recently had ZOOM meeting with [sensitive content hidden] who gave me few tips on how use The Hire Talent platform more efficiently. You have a great team!

Cons

N/A I cannot think of anything as of yet.

Pros

found talent, and cheaper than a head hunter.

Cons

I haven't been using the company long enough to have an opinion.

Pros

This tool is easy to use and gives great insight to habits of potential employees.

Cons

The only con - I would like to be able to printed the detailed summary report with the candidate's name on it.

Pros

Very impressed with the Demo process and presentation of this platform from [sensitive content hidden]

Cons

We are exploring these pre-employment tests as part of our hiring process.

Pros

the testing seems easy and what we are looking for.

Cons

Nothing at the moment, so far, I do not have anything negative to say about this platform.

Pros

1. Customer support to help educate and analyze candidates. I’m learning my own gaps in knowledge of how to hire people and picking out what I want to know more about specific people. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team are very good about teaching this.
2. The testing that gives a whole deeper dive into a person’s personality and ability to tease out information.
3. Automation. If the first two points weren’t well worth the value already, we’ve gotten a ROI just in the automation piece of the process. No more hunting down references and asking them to call back. Great email templates that save time.

Cons

I really want more of structured feature for recording my interview notes and they say this is coming so I am excited to get more into this feature. I would also like a feature to export everything about the candidate from their profile to test results to résumé and one nice PDF in order to upload into their personnel file. They are definitely open to adding additional features and making things as customizable as possible per your organizations needs.

Pros

The assessments I use give me a realistic view of my candidate and what they can bring to the role I am hiring for. It also helps me see if they would be a better fit for a different role based on their results.

Cons

I have yet to find an issue with the software.

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.

Pros

I like that it can be customized and the formats can be changed depending on the specific role we want to create an assessment for.

Cons

Some of the scoring for the personality assessments, I think they arent as accurate and seem to be a bit cut and dry.

Pros

I thought it was easy to use. The service is great. It’s also easy to screen applicants to make sure you find the best ones with very little time span. We screen 15 her applicants a week through the system and it’s awesome

Cons

Sometimes the rating system doesn’t give me all the choices I want

Pros

Provides insight on how most candidates will perform in the position they are being hired for.

Cons

I cannot think of anything that I do not like about the assessments.

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.

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.

Pros

Ease of use, value for the dollar. Reference Checks and Assessment are seemless.

Cons

Reporting. Custom fields. Could use more of both.

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.

Pros

It's ability to track all employment related items (screening, testing, applications) in one place

Cons

Takes some learning but The Hire Talent is great at helping with the learning aspect.

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.
