Vervoe Overview

What is Vervoe?

Vervoe's mission is to make hiring about merit, not background. We help employers make hiring decisions based on how well candidates can actually do the job instead of how good they look on paper. Vervoe replaces the traditional hiring process with skills assessments and gives every candidate an opportunity to showcase their talent by doing job-related tasks. Then, Vervoe uses machine learning models to automatically rank candidates based on how well they perform. Companies large and small, all over the world use Vervoe to hire top performers. Our customers don't spend time doing resume, phone screening or relying on arbitrary data points. Instead, they see people do the job before they get the job with immersive work assessments that simulate environments candidates will be hired in. Vervoe is the most predictive way to assess candidate skills.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

The premade English test was OK and saved us some work to set up an assessment for English proficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

Our experience with Vervoe has been disappointing for several reasons:

- Candidates complain that Audio and Video recording does not work for them and/or take a long time to process. We have reported this to customer support and got the answer that it cannot be fixed.

- The code editor/test was unusable for most candidates and caused so much frustration that we had to replace it with a simple text box.

- AI grading is pretty much useless. It takes even more time for us since we have to train the AI and correct its grading manually for each candidate.

- Pricing model feels arbitrary and is completely unflexible. We had to dismiss dozens of candidates, just because we hit the arbitrary 100 candidate limit and customer support had no way to give us access to those candidates' results. It's unacceptable and embarrassing to have to tell our candidates that we have to reject them because we would have to wait two weeks for Vervoe to unlock their tests.

- The UI to grade the tests is laggy and inefficient. We planned to use Vervoe to reduce the time needed to evaluate tests, however, it turned out that our staff spends more time grading tests than before using other solutions.

- Customer support does the bare minimum to close the tickets and showed at no point willingness nor capability to fix our reported issues.

Considering all the points above, there is no way that we could justify a yearly commitment and the monthly subscription is limited in so many ways that it made it unfeasible for our hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My understanding is that Vervoe is trying to help companies with automating parts of their hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Simone Malone of Vervoe

Hi Steffen,

Thanks so much for your honest feedback, and we're sorry to hear your expectations were not met! We sincerely value the experience of all customers and their candidates on our platform, and we want to ensure you have a more positive one.

Unfortunately, we've found that most audio and video problems occur locally on the candidate's device. However, our team have come up with a list of troubleshooting steps that we are more than happy to walk the candidates through. We encourage candidates to reach out to our support team at support@vervoe.com for any questions or concerns they may have. If there seems to be any issue within the platform, we also encourage all feedback to be sent to the support team, so we can then urgently escalate the information to the respective department.

As for the AI grading feature, we can certainly understand not having much time to manually grade via the Optimize feature. The good news is, due to the grading scale/sample answers that your team inputs upon creating the assessment, our AI is about 83% accurate without any manual grading! However, if you prefer 99%+ accuracy and for the AI to learn your company's personal preference in an answer, manually grading the few suggested assessments would immediately help achieve that percentage.

We want to emphasize our apology for your expectations not being met. However, if you are open to learning more about how to optimize your experience on the platform, please do not hesitate to reach out! We are here to help.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

- Great job description templates

- Good pre-filled questions

- Stats on applicants' progress is helpful

- Easy to use and get everything set up with

- Super helpful for when we have a large number of applicants per role Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

- Restrictions on the number of candidates per role is the main dislike

- Not sure how useful the AI grading actually is (although we probably didn't feed it enough data for it to judge). I would say the AI component is a "nice to have" rather than a "must have".

AI would have been more useful for companies hiring across multiple roles, with hundreds of candidates each.

That being said - we really like the system, and will use it for recruitment of all key roles going forward.

One good hire/one saved bad hire will more than pay for the cost of this system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

How to recruit the right people, based on their skills and not just their resumes or interview competency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

Vervoe's team is incredibly supportive and delivers quality results.

Tools and resources were readily available every step of the way.

Integrations made for a smooth transition from previous workflows.

The dashboard makes it clear and easy to track candidate progress.

Foresight needed a practical and meaningful assessment to ensure hires were the best fit, Vervoe delivered exactly that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

Honestly, nothing!! Vervoe's software and support were everything we needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Vervoe improves our hiring process to ensure that someone applying can survive and thrive in the work environment. The benefit of having this tool is it better informs that decision-making. You can view individual candidate scores as well as where that individual's score falls within the group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

Easy to use, easy to test, lots of useful templates to get you started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

Sometimes the messaging and the order of messages that candidates see are hard to understand from the back end. For example, there's an email invitation message, a message once they click on the email message, and a third message that all have to be customized but are not easily found or in the same place on the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows us to create short assessments to test whether people are simply mass-applying for hundreds of jobs without reading the job description, or actually interested, capable and motivated to do this job. If they are not willing to take 5 minutes to answer a couple of questions then they "weed themselves out" for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. The support team are excellent when something goes wrong, and they even give you the option to pause the subscription if you have a freeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

Vervoe delivers such an exceptional set of benefits to recruitment teams, hiring managers and candidates that it's hard to nominate individual features. My experience with Vervoe is that it allowed the level of customisation I required to test specific capabilities of candidates in a way that gives them a realistic job preview and ensures that new employees have the skills required to perform their roles. The platform and technology underpinning Vervoe also provides hiring managers with a depth of candidate information allowing for faster and more accurate selection processes. While reducing the risk of bias within a recruitment bias Vervoe allows companies to transact faster and more accurately with a much larger pool of candidates. Vervoe saves time and money while delivering better outcomes than traditional recruitment methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

There's nothing I dislike about Vervoe - its does exactly what I require of it and it has always exceeded my expectations. The only advice I'd give to prospective customers is to ensure you learn how to use it properly. Understanding how the platform operates and how to get the best out of it can lead to dramatic improvements in staff attrition. You only get poor results with Vervoe if you don't put in the time or effort required to implement the platform effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I introduced Vervoe to ensure better capability alignment to selection criteria within the recruitment process and was pleased to find that Vervoe delivers additional benefits of improved candidate and hiring manager experience, the mitigation of risk from bias during selection and a decrease in staff attrition. The ROI Vervoe has delivered has been exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

The best part of Vervoe is the ease with which we can create specific skill assessments for different departments and jobs. We can create a more generalized first-step assessment using a variety of question types of question styles -- multiple-choice, essay, video, audio, visual, etc. -- to establish a baseline of whether a candidate will fit within the company culture and do so all within a single assessment. Then as the candidate progresses through the hiring process, Vervoe lets us progressively test the candidates with higher-level, more complex questions to better assess their level of expertise.

Most impressive is how the Vervoe AI learns from the essay, audio, and video answers and can grade them very accurately freeing up our time. It's super accurate and allows us to rely on the percentage grates to establish a baseline whether we want to proceed with a candidate or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

The only downside to Vervoe would be that it lacks a true behavioral assessment. However, with the help of the Vervoe team and leaning on their experience and expertise, we've been able to cater our assessments in a way that doesn't feel like a typical behavioral quiz. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vervoe:

Make sure you understand what you are looking for. listen to the Vervoe team and their recommendations of best practices, but make sure they understand your hiring process so they can help direct you to the best practices. We were not clear from the get-go and it cost us some setup time that we could have saved had we understood our process better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Vervoe we're able to accurately determine whether a candidate has a chance to fit with our company's culture. We are also able to quickly eliminate "resume experts" who show well on paper but lack the actual skills to perform what's required by the job. Obviously, the time we save with Vervoe grading voice and essay questions is a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

- Using Vervoe as a layer to filter applicants

- AI use in the background

- Removal on unconcious bias

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

I have used Vervoe in the past for a couple of years and there is nothing about it that one can NOT like. I am yet to use the analytics feature (being a data driven person myself) so I need to see if there are insights that can be changed / added, if any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vervoe?

Vervoe works well to assist the team and Hiring Managers in making skill-based hires, rather than screening CVs.

The issue is that unconscious bias introduces:

· Unintentional discrimination

· Blocks creating truly diverse and inclusive workplaces

· Hampers equal opportunity; especially for women and new Australians Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

The only downside of using Vervoe, is the candidate that has been invited to do the same online interview for the same assessment may not be able to showcase their growth from the first time they completed one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Every day, potentially great employees are being unconsciously discounted because they have poor resume writing skills, have the “wrong” surname, are deemed too “old”, possess genetics from a “different” country, or just aren’t the “right” gender.

All of these areas of bias by hiring managers, HR professionals and recruiters, are screening out potentially great employees without them even being considered.

We combine traditional methods with modern technology that continues to assist our TA team, to coach our staff in the potential of not seeing one's resume, but to assess the skills the candidates possess that are relevant to the role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Simone Malone of Vervoe
