Applied Reviews & Product Details

Applied is the essential platform for unbiased hiring. We often make decisions without realising that our unconscious biases play a role. This can even happen when we have good intentions, so naturally, it will creep into our hiring decisions. Applied offers a solution to reduce this bias when hiring to improve traditional methods. We're trying to create a fairer world, one hire at a time! Our platform has been designed to help our customers find the best talent for their open positions. We do this by leveraging skills-based assessments, which focus on each candidate's skills and abilities that will help them be successful in a role. When using Applied to hire, you can expect up to a fourfold increase in the ethnic diversity of candidates and three times as many suitable candidates. You'll receive analytics at every step of the process so you can feel confident that you're making the best hiring decisions possible. When organisations transform the way they hire, they not only discover the very best candidates, they help usher in a world where everyone feels a sense of inclusion, equity, and belonging. Hire with purpose, supported by science.

Hello. Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you find Applied user-friendly and appreciate the convenience of reviewing all parts of applications at once.

We appreciate your feedback about the document upload issues and are sorry that candidates sometimes experience problems uploading documents. If you or your candidates ever need help, please get in touch with our friendly support team, who can answer urgent or technical questions at hello@beapplied.com. The inbox is monitored from 9am to 5pm BST, Monday to Friday. For out-of-hours support, we have articles available in our Help Centre. If candidates are having trouble uploading their CV, it is worth noting that the anonymisation feature requires that the candidate has completed the contact details page first; this is so that their contact details can be auto-redacted.

We're thrilled that Applied is helping your company screen graduate applications without bias. We aim to provide a fair and efficient hiring process for all candidates. We're grateful for your positive experience with our account managers and assure you that we're always here to address any concerns or provide assistance whenever needed.

"A good way to assess candidates"

5/5

What do you like best about Applied?

The ability to hear what candidates think about the tasks they will be doing in post. It's good to see their thought process and how they have/would tackle the task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Applied?

Timewasters. There have been instances where some of the questions have been left blank. And when candidates don't meet the requirements stated in the JD but still apply. Is there a way to add questions to the candidate review and not allow them to apply if they don't meet them? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lauren Dove of Applied

Hello! Thanks for reviewing Applied; we're so glad you're having success with our product, and it's helping you save time hiring.

Candidates shouldn't be able to leave sift questions blank, so if you experience this again, please contact us so we can look into this for you - hello@beapplied.com. Also, it might be helpful to know that we enable dealbreaker questions to help identify which candidates may not be eligible for the job. You can read more about setting these questions up here: bit.ly/DealbreakerQuestions.

Many thanks, Lauren

"Applied Is a Good Hiring Platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Applied?

Applied is a great platform for hiring. We really enjoyed using it for a full year of hiring and all the categories they offer. It is also great for unbias hiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Applied?

Everything about Applied was pretty great so there was nothing that I disliked really. The only tough part was being in the U.S. and needing assistance, but having to wait until the next day because Applied is UK based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Applied:

I would look into their customer service hours so you know ahead of time in case you are needing assistance with Applied down the road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Applied solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were trying to have a successful hiring system where we were unbiased and fair with every candidate. They give you the oppertunity to ask everyone the exact same questions and give out the same assesments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
