Problem
Traditional hiring processes rely heavily on resumes, which are poor predictors of on-the-job performance and are often embellished, with up to 46% of candidates admitting to resume inflation. This leads to significant time wasted on screening unqualified applicants and increases the risk of costly bad hires.
Solution
VettedAI provides a hiring platform that moves beyond resumes by having candidates complete a short, asynchronous work audition tailored to the specific role. The platform's recruiters and AI generate questions based on the job description, which candidates answer in their own words, demonstrating their judgment and problem-solving skills. Each response is scored against a role-specific rubric, and candidates are ranked on a shortlist with detailed reasoning for each score. This evidence-based approach provides a richer signal of a candidate's actual ability, allowing hiring managers to focus their time on proven talent rather than sifting through CVs.
Target Audience
VettedAI is built for startups and scale-ups, recruitment agencies, global teams hiring African talent, and any organization with high-volume hiring needs who want to move fast without sacrificing quality.
