GradSift Science

100% Alignment with Employer Final Hiring Decisions

Selection science has long established that structured behavioural interviews and cognitive ability tests are among the strongest predictors of job performance. Both assess what a candidate has demonstrated - their thinking patterns, their behaviours, their responses under pressure. At the same time research is equally clear that resumes, in general, are a poor predictor of performance.

GradSift changed that for early-careers.

GradSift does not screen resumes. Instead it evaluates a structured candidate profile composed of key data points that capture behavioural evidence - indicators of achievement, initiative, teamwork, role motivation and background relevance - using the same logic an experienced recruiter applies through pattern recognition developed over tens of thousands of applicants.

The algorithm was developed and validated against real hiring outcomes across many employers and all disciplines. The data consistently showed that just 5% of applicants rated Outstanding and 15% rated Strong. Yet these groups accounted for 80% and 20% of actual hires respectively.

When tested with employers, GradSift's rankings of applicant pools have matched employer rankings after interviews and all selection steps, every time.

GradSift's predictive logic is grounded in the same behavioural science that underpins the tools HR professionals already trust.

It doesn't replace structured interviews or assessments. It ensures the right candidates progress to shortlist stage.

AI-resilient assessment for graduate hiring

ATS built for high-volume early careers recruitment - 4X faster

Screen 1,000+ graduate resumes 10X faster than manual reviews

Stop wasting time on manual resume screening.

• AI-optimised resumes make it harder than ever to distinguish genuine capability.
• Without structure, inconsistency and unconscious bias can easily creep into graduate hiring decisions.

GradSift's plaform instantly assesses a candidate's background across academics, various work experiences and extra-curricular achievements. That's based on a structured data profile each candidate creates - not from their resume.

The results are evaluated in line with the different selection requirements you set for each role. Just as you would in a manual resume review. Only 10X faster. In fact, instantly.

Combine that with candidate role preferences, gender, diversity, prior employer filters, video and much more. The time savings and productivity benefits are huge.

Plus, GradSift is AI-resilient. That means the candidate data you assess is authentic - not inflated by AI.

A government agency recruited for graduate and internship roles, manually reviewing each resume. This was time consuming and carried the risk of unintended bias and short-cut selection decisions. Switching to GradSift saved a huge amount of time, with all candidates assessed consistently and objectively. Shortlisted candidates were quickly presented to hiring managers for interviews.

 AI-resilient assessments for graduate hiring

In a world where candidates can use AI to embellish their resume, get past unsupervised pychometric tests and receive coaching through video interviews, employers need to assess data holisticly - not deciding on individual stage results. 

GradSift's platform lets you review and assess candidates across all data points - including video and testing. See one set of results that look odd? That's where human judgement comes in - to consider all the candidate information.  

GradSift is AI-resilient, not resume dependant. It instantly assesses a candidate's background across academics, various work experiences and extra-curricular achievements. That's based on a structured data profile each candidate creates - not from their resume. Our video is a showcase video, where candidates authentically present themselves - not responding to recorded interview questions.

GradSift can replace the AI vulnerable early screening stages, including video interview behavioural assessments.

Import results into your ATS and continue to interviews or assessment centres, confident in your candidate data. 

A global managemengt consulting group automated graduate and intern shortlisting, replacing traditional manual resume reviews with GradSift. Psychometric tests scores were imported into GradSift, for a holistic and fairer assessment of each candidate's performance. Shortling results were uploaded into their ATS.
