  • We interview every candidate face to face (either in person or over video).
  • We go beyond the standard interview. We assess on-the-spot thinking by asking unique questions that we co-develop with you—things not covered in the job ad.
  • We verify all credentials, including designations, education and more.
  • We provide testing and screening (on request), including in-depth technical and competency-based screening assessments. 
  • We conduct a range of checks (when appropriate), using a third party to do background, criminal and credit checks.
  • We check references prior to all employment offers.
