PeerPilot

Our Approach

Screening and assessing candidates is a complex, resource-intensive task. According to Bersin by Deloitte, 52% of HR leaders say that identifying the right candidates is the most challenging part of recruitment. While most recruiters rely on CVs to screen candidates, a CV is not necessarily an accurate representation of a candidate; rather, it reflects how a candidate would like to be perceived.

Teams collaborating in professional settings

Furthermore, a CV does not reveal how a candidate will perform in the role and work environment they are applying for. PeerPilot addresses this challenge through a unique approach: assessing candidates as they work together to solve a realistic problem. This collaborative exercise allows PeerPilot to evaluate candidates based on their actual performance.

Our Approach

The Benefits

The PeerPilot screening process supports a wide range of recruitment needs, from targeted hiring to high-volume screening. These include recruitment for graduate programmes, internships and generalist roles, as well as forming teams in project-based organisations. The process is unbiased and can be conducted regardless of location, with no limit on the number of candidates who can participate simultaneously. Each candidate is evaluated in real time. PeerPilot is the only automated solution on the market that assesses professional skills alongside motivation and the ability to collaborate.

PeerPilot's screening process is seamless and delivers instant results within any recruitment process:

  • Improve candidate fit: select candidates based on real performance metrics and motivation.
  • Increase efficiency: eliminate manual CV screening.
  • Hire faster: reduce shortlisting time from weeks to days.

A PeerPilot screening achieves the following:

Facilitates automated evaluation and ranking of candidates
Reduces time-to-hire while improving quality-of-hire
Removes bias and ensures consistency throughout the recruitment process
Identifies candidate performance in a realistic scenario
Observes team dynamics and drive in a gamified environment

All results and behavioural variables are presented in individual assessment reports, making it easy to identify and compare candidates' performance.

Our Approach

The Screening Process

PeerPilot is a cloud-based screening platform that enables recruiters to screen and evaluate candidates based on their actual performance as they tackle a business challenge. This approach significantly reduces recruitment time and transforms the dynamics of the process by introducing realistic problems at an early stage.

Comparison of a traditional recruitment process and recruitment with PeerPilot

The process is built around relevant business cases and a dialogue-based collaborative exercise to solve real business challenges. Candidates collaborate anonymously in teams and demonstrate their skills on an equal footing, ensuring objectivity and consistency throughout the assessment.

PeerPilot enables the evaluation, ranking and selection of candidates based on their actual performance across cognitive impact, motivation, collaborative skills, holistic thinking and communication.

Our Approach

The Science

PeerPilot is founded on two key principles: that actions speak louder than words and that candidates should be evaluated fairly and on an equal footing.

The patented concept is based on a structured, transparent collaborative workshop inspired by Design Thinking principles, developed in collaboration with the UNESCO Centre for Problem-Based Learning (organised under the United Nations) and our behavioural psychologists. The method focuses on cognitive problem-solving, behavioural traits and situational awareness.

Asking prospective employees or team members to solve a realistic business problem reveals how they approach complex problems and work with others. It also introduces them to their future work environment, helping align expectations between employer and employee.

Collaboration Platform

Cognitive, collaborative problem-solving.

Scoring Platform

Data science and machine learning.

Assessment Reports

Behavioural and cognitive psychology.

PeerPilot makes it easier to compare candidates against a common set of professional criteria. Our algorithms translate candidate screening data into comparable assessment scores. Developed in collaboration with behavioural psychologists and data scientists, the method is designed to reduce bias. We continually test and validate it through real-world testing and comparative studies, giving you a sound basis for selecting the right candidates.
