Power of Challenge Based Hiring
Improving the match between employer and prospective employee
What if we could turn job postings into authentic learning challenges that increase access and opportunity? Give rich and authentic learning experiences that lead to current or future employment. Provide an opportunity for anyone to show their skills (or develop them along the way) and readiness while, improving the match between employer and prospective employee! The Challenge Based Hiring Platform is designed to do just that.

Better Candidate Insights
Gauge how students understand and interpret a problem, gain a better understanding of their problem solving ability and communication skills. This provides insights of a student's ability to perform the job which, traditional based hiring methods just couldn't. Let their solutions speak for themselves, instead of trying to decode their resume.

Save Time and Money
All you need to do is choose the skills you are looking for in your next intern and we will do the rest. We will pair up an appropriate challenge to your industry, job description, and promote your company to highly engaged students.
A unique algorithm will select the top candidates to streamline your selection process further, saving you time and money!
A More Engaged Talent Pool
With the inherent benefit of CBH, the application process is an opportunity for students to learn and grow their portfolio within the hiring process. This makes the time spent in the application process more valuable for students in comparison to resume based hiring, making them more engaged with your company.
