‘Currently the Internet’s ability to generate applications is not matched by its ability to filter out unsuitable candidates.’ – KeyNote Market Research

Behiring have developed a web based tool to filter applicants. It incorporates tests developed by the team that can directly measure the skills that would be used on the job – like typing speed, ability to research (via “Google races”) and ability to prioritise (for example in responding to customer queries). They are also working with SHL to use their market-leading psychometric tests should employers wish.

The site  is tailored towards Small and Medium Enterprises, allowing them to generate a set of tests appropriate for the job vacancy. Once the tests have been run a number of applicants are recommended to the employer who can rank them according to their performance in the tests. The employer can also view ‘micro interviews’ or short, automated videos where applicants respond to text questions.

The team are Sam Adcock – who is leading the research into what companies want, John Cant who is focusing on UX and Arek Turlewicz an experienced and talented developer. They’re in a private beta and actively looking for employers interested in recruiting in a simple, streamlined way – so get in touch with us via our contact, or go to their site.

You can find their demo day PowerPoint here.

We are pleased to note that the BeHiring team have been accepted onto the Oxygen Accelerator, where they will continue to build their ideas.
