CandidatesAssessment vs Harver for recruitment agencies

Harver is the stronger fit when enterprise high-volume matching, role configurations, realistic job previews, branded candidate experience, ATS delivery, or established people-science support drive the purchase. CandidatesAssessment is the more focused fit when an external agency needs a direct multi-client shortlist and verified client response workflow.

CandidatesAssessmentA lightweight agency operating layer from reusable client record to comparable evidence, immutable brief, and client decision.
HarverHigh-volume enterprise matching, broad assessments, role configurations, candidate experience, interview guides, reporting, and ATS delivery.
BoundaryNeither platform wins every buying case.

The short answer for agency buyers.

CandidatesAssessment does not currently match Harver’s public assessment breadth, high-volume matching infrastructure, role configurations, realistic job previews, ATS coverage, or scientific positioning. Harver provides shareable candidate reports and interview guides; CandidatesAssessment’s narrower distinction is the verified client review with comments and interview/hold/decline.

The strongest product is the one that clears the agency’s real constraint without hiding a material gap in implementation, evidence, or client delivery.

  1. 01Is the program high-volume enough to require enterprise matching, role configurations, and ATS-led delivery?
  2. 02Do realistic job previews or a branded candidate journey materially affect completion and fit?
  3. 03Which scientific evidence, role profiles, comparison groups, and interpretation support must procurement approve?
  4. 04Does an external client need to comment and record interview, hold, or decline without a persistent platform account?

Is CandidatesAssessment a complete Harver replacement?

Not for programs that need Harver’s high-volume matching infrastructure, assessment breadth, simulations, candidate-experience design, ATS delivery, or people-science services. CandidatesAssessment is a narrower agency-client operating layer.

Can Harver candidate reports be shared without a Harver login?

Yes. Harver’s Reports Hub documentation says candidate reports can be combined in one shareable link and accessed through an ATS without a Harver login.

What is different about the CandidatesAssessment client handoff?

The current handoff uses an immutable PDF and an expiring or revocable link protected by verified email and a one-time code. The client can expand evidence, comment, and record interview, hold, or decline.

Does CandidatesAssessment publish the same scientific depth as Harver?

No. CandidatesAssessment currently publishes v0.1 methodology fact sheets and explicit evidence gaps, but not approved reliability, validity, norm, or uncertainty coefficients.
