Dr. Paul Sackett has arrived! 🚀 This morning, he visited our office and gave us a full run-through of his recent research and its implications for predicting job performance.

Don’t miss our big event tonight in Stockholm, where you’ll have the chance to gain the same unique insights we just received on new ways to predict job performance – and how you should think differently about hiring.

Applying for a job shouldn’t feel like a full-time position! 👩💻 Psychometric assessments are valuable tools in the recruitment process. However, for candidates who have to take tests repeatedly across multiple hiring processes, it can also be frustrating and time-consuming. This concern is valid. Time is our most sacred resource, and both candidates and employers are seeking faster, more streamlined processes. At Alva Labs, we want to make hiring fair and efficient for everyone. That’s why we let our candidates own their test data, enabling them to re-share results with multiple companies. The Alva re-share functionality works across companies, roles, and job types – making it possible to reuse results as many times as you like. Over 30% of all candidates using the Alva platform have shared their test results with more than one company. Through feedback from our customers, we know that this is one of the features candidates love most. 💖 Don’t lose your top candidates due to an outdated hiring process. Try a candidate assessment platform that they will love instead. #HirePeopleNotCvs
