Move more candidates without losing control of the shortlist.

Candidate assessment for staffing firms that need one visible path from a client role and CSV invite batch to completion, comparable evidence, and the client’s next decision.

Built around human review. No ATS integration, automated hiring decision, or cross-client evidence reuse is implied.

Volume exposes weak process first.

When the batch grows, small gaps compound: a vague role brief produces irrelevant testing, delivery failures look like candidate drop-off, an overloaded battery slows completion, and the client receives a ranking without enough context to act.

Brief
Define the outcomes before selecting evidence.
Batch
Check the file, instructions, deadline, and support route before sending.
Exceptions
Separate failed delivery and access problems from candidate evidence.
Handoff
Give the client comparison, uncertainty, and a clear next action.

One evidence lane from batch invite to client decision.

The workflow stays simple because every stage answers a different operational question.

  1. 01

    Set the role evidence plan

    Translate the client brief into observable outcomes, choose the smallest relevant assessment set, and write the interview handoff before invitations go out.

    Role templates and assessment assignment are available.
  2. 02

    Prepare the candidate batch

    Check candidate records, duplicates, project assignment, instructions, deadline, and the support route before uploading the CSV.

    Single and CSV bulk invitations are available.
  3. 03

    Monitor delivery and completion

    Use queue delivery status and project funnel stages to see whether candidates were invited, started, completed, or need an operational follow-up.

    Delivery health and funnel visibility use existing records.
  4. 04

    Review comparable evidence

    Compare the same role-relevant results, strengths, risks, and areas to verify without converting one score into an unexplained automatic decision.

    Results, comparison, ranking, and interview questions are available.
  5. 05

    Send a decision-ready shortlist

    Share the evidence, questions, and next action through a protected client review, then record interview, hold, or decline with context for the recruiter.

    Protected review links and immutable PDF output are available.

Treat exceptions as operations—not candidate evidence.

A delivery or access problem should change the follow-up, not silently change how the person is judged.

See where the hiring lane is slowing down.

The agency analytics view uses records already created by the workflow. It shows funnel stages, invitation delivery, client engagement, decisions, and usage by client without requiring a separate reporting process.

  • Invited → started → completed → reviewed → interview → hired.
  • Stage-to-stage conversion for the recruiting funnel.
  • Invitation sent, failed, and delivery-rate visibility.
  • Shortlists shared, view rate, and first client-decision response time.
  • Interview, hold, and decline decision breakdown.
  • Shortlists, candidates, completion, and viewed shares by client.

Analytics populate from real workflow activity. No customer performance data or outcome benchmark is claimed here.

Give the client a shortlist they can act on.

A staffing shortlist should not arrive as a spreadsheet of unexplained totals. The current handoff can combine comparison context, evidence, interview questions, an immutable PDF, and a protected client response.

The protected review link is not a persistent client account or branded client portal.

Run the next assessment batch from a working checklist.

The ungated plain-text checklist covers role setup, assessment selection, batch readiness, delivery and completion monitoring, evidence review, client handoff, closeout, and the candidate-reuse boundary.

Plain text, easy to edit, print, audit, or place inside an existing staffing operations playbook.

Questions staffing firms ask.

Use the product-status and methodology pages for the current capability and interpretation boundary.

Review platform status
Can a staffing firm invite candidates in bulk?

Yes. The current product supports CSV bulk invitations through a durable queue, alongside individual invitations. Invitation sent and failed states feed the delivery-health view.

Does CandidatesAssessment integrate with our ATS?

Not yet. ATS, API, webhook, and automation integrations are planned and should not be represented as live. The current bulk workflow uses CSV invitations.

Can we reuse a candidate’s assessment results for another client or role?

Not through a governed reuse workflow today. Cross-role or cross-client reuse needs candidate consent, role relevance, assessment-version lineage, expiry, and access controls. Those capabilities remain planned.

Does the platform automatically reject candidates?

No. CandidatesAssessment organizes evidence, comparisons, risks, strengths, and verification questions for human review. Recruiters and clients remain responsible for lawful interpretation and the hiring or placement decision.

Does the client need a platform account to review a shortlist?

No. The current handoff uses an opaque expiring or revocable link protected by verified email and a one-time code. It is a protected review surface, not a persistent client portal.
