Potential for negative candidate/reference experience due to long survey or technical delivery issues.
Risk of inconsistent support quality post-implementation (reported by some users of the larger iCIMS platform).
High lock-in risk due to enterprise nature and integration with the iCIMS platform.

Reviews From The Web

Real user experiences from across different platforms

Skill Survey has helped us reduce the time it takes references dramatically. We generally can complete three references within 2-3 days, sometimes as quickly as one day. All lowers your time to hire rate due to faster reference checks.

•Companies that value data-driven and objective behavioral assessments to reduce turnover.

•Healthcare organizations needing digital peer credentialing/referencing.

Watch Out For

•Mandatory requirement to obtain only phone-based references.
•Potential for candidate perception of unfairness/lack of nuance if their offer is rescinded based solely on a quantitative report's score/percentile ranking.

Lacks customizability in core survey questions (due to scientific validation process) High perceived cost for smaller organizations (pricing is enterprise-focused) Candidate/reference complaints about the survey length (can be up to 30+ questions) Reports can be confusing/misleading to hiring managers (e.g., a score of 6/7 being flagged as low percentile) Technical issues/spam filtering for reference emails/texts No option for references to opt for a phone call instead of the survey
