Every assumption
These are not industry averages. They are a simple, typical example.
- 200 applicants for one engineering role
- HR reads each resume for 2 minutes
- 15 minutes of recruiter time and 3 emails to arrange each call
- 45 minutes of engineer time per phone screen, including notes
- Onsite: 4 interviewers × 1 hour per candidate
- About 1 hour of candidate effort per application
- With TalentScope: 15 minutes to set up the test, 10 minutes to review each of 12 shortlisted candidates, 3 onsites
Three ways to find good candidates faster
- Test before you read. Send every applicant the same short skill test. A score is faster to sort than a resume, and it cannot be written by AI in a minute.
- Replace the first phone screen. The test covers what a 45-minute call checks, without an engineer’s time, and the AI grading explains each score.
- Check integrity with evidence. A remote test is only useful if the answers are the candidate’s own. AI proctoring flags the moments worth checking.
