signal for Business

Lots of applicants. One hiring manager. Zero phone screens wasted.

Send every candidate a 30-minute assessment. Get back a score you can compare instantly — no calibration debates, no engineer time spent on screens, no resumes that say "proficient in Python" without proof.

Scores HR already understands

200–800 scale, just like the GRE. No training required. No calibration meetings. Hiring managers and HR read the same number and agree on what it means.

No two tests are the same

Every question is parametrically generated — names, numbers, and data change each time. Thousands of unique tests from hundreds of templates. Candidates can't game it.

Candidates actually take it

30 minutes, not a weekend. No unpaid project work. Candidates keep their scores and can use them elsewhere. It's a credential, not a chore.

SFB puts your hiring manager and recruiter in the same workspace, looking at the same scores, with the same interview questions. No more email chains. No more arguing about resumes.

The Profile Test — detect seniority without reading essays

Three questions. Ten minutes. AI evaluates strategic thinking, communication clarity, and professional maturity — then generates a signal summary and suggested interview questions for your team. You never see the candidate's raw answers. Their ideas stay theirs. You get what you need to run a better interview.
