The recruiting and staffing industry has weathered several turbulent few years, with the pendulum swinging from talent shortages to an overabundance of talent, and then back again – all in a short span of time. 

What remains consistent, however, is that the client relationship is paramount; maintaining relationships in a shifting landscape remains critical to success.

We have 15+ years of experience partnering with recruiting and staffing firms to help identify candidates that best align with a wide variety of roles.

We Understand

Recruiting & Staffing

Given how critical relationships are in this industry and how competitive the landscape has become, there’s no room for mistakes when it comes to finding the right candidates.

We have over two decades helping our recruiting and staffing clients filter applicants and identify quality candidates for some of the most popular roles that exceed performance targets and align well with a client’s culture.

Our partners use us for:

  • Candidate Validation: HighMatch data provides independent, qualitative validation of a candidate’s fit for a given role

  • Interview Guides: Our Guides help you get to know your candidate’s personality and abilities before you share with clients

We approach skills testing differently than everyone else. HighMatch skills tests, powered by our modern, testing engine, are short and candidate-friendly.

They are also highly personalized, compiled by our team of workplace psychologists from a pool of components and tailored to measure what matters most in the role.

Skills testing is an important piece of the puzzle, however it’s rarely the whole solution. Our clients couple skills testing with other components to ensure they are getting the full picture of a candidate.

relevant skills tests:

  • Microsoft Excel: A quick, mobile-friendly assessment designed to test a candidate’s knowledge of MS Excel

  • Microsoft PowerPoint: A fast, mobile assessment that tests a candidate’s knowledge of MS PowerPoint

  • Computer Literacy: This fast, mobile-friendly test assesses candidate’s understanding of basic computer use.

For larger organizations, HighMatch can also quickly create short, personalized and mobile-first skills tests covering topics like Social Media Proficiency and Recruiting Fundamentals, all powered by our modern, mobile-first assessment engine and tailored to your roles.

“A metrics-based approach helps us engage new clients who want a high level of expertise when they hire. We have used the HighMatch assessment over 10,000 times, and it’s amazing how accurate it is.”
