The Good
- Candidate Screening Tool
- Comprehensive Hiring Process Assistance
Candidate Screening Tool
Topgrading’s candidate screening software, TOLS, generates results based on a form filled out by job candidates. From there, TOLS produces a Topgrading snapshot showing accurate ratings of each candidate’s performance from their former bosses, a full salary history, and the real reason they left their job.
The Topgrading snapshot can identify job hoppers and alert hiring managers to other potential red flags to prevent costly rehiring.
TOLS also uses the candidates’ information to auto-populate reference checks as well as interview guides to consult during face-to-face or phone interviews.
You can use TOLS as a standalone tool or integrate it with your Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
Comprehensive Hiring Process Assistance
In addition to Topgrading’s software, the company offers step-by-step assistance in honing a company’s hiring process through coaching:
- CEO and HR head attend an informational workshop.
- Topgrading conducts a 2–3 day immersion in client’s industry, culture, and current hiring process to create a tailored plan going forward.
- Client integrates Topgrading Online Solutions (TOLS) with their ATS.
- Topgrading conducts workshops for senior leaders and hiring managers.
- Topgrading consults with client to verify that methods are being used and measures the hiring and promotion results.
Topgrading professionals can also interview candidates for top jobs on request.
Topgrading offers follow up training including webinars that refresh knowledge of the Topgrading hiring method.
The Bad
- Unclear Pricing and Packages
Unclear Pricing and Packages
Topgrading does not include pricing information in its website, so clients must contact the company directly to obtain this information.
It is also unclear whether clients can pick and choose the services that work for them, such as only incorporating Topgrading software versus implementing Topgrading’s training workshops.
The Bottom Line
If you’ve been burned in the past by dishonest candidates or you’re otherwise frustrated with your company’s current hiring process, Topgrading’s software is definitely worth looking into. You’ll just need to consult with a company representative to determine if the pricing and package structure fits with your needs and budget.
