ESAT Screen

Pre-employment skills assessments that rank applicants for the real job

Stop guessing from résumés. ESAT Screen tests each applicant on the soft and hard skills the role needs, compares them to that job's benchmark, and hands you a ranked shortlist.

What it measures

Soft skills such as communication, dependability and teamwork, plus hard skills for the role. Résumé claims are scored alongside.

Job-code benchmarks

Scores are compared with the benchmark for the actual job code, so a supervisor and a line cook are never judged on the same bar.

Exam integrity

Integrity controls during the test, private report storage and a full audit trail.

How screening works

  1. 01

    Post the role

    Pick the job title. ESAT pulls the O*NET benchmark for that job code and builds the assessment.

  2. 02

    Send one link

    Applicants take a single assessment covering soft skills, hard skills and their résumé.

  3. 03

    Review a ranked shortlist

    Every applicant gets a rank score with the reasoning behind it, so you know why someone is at the top.

  4. 04

    Interview with evidence

    Finalists get a tailored interview guide with rubrics and things to probe. Your team takes notes, rates answers and compares.

The candidate experience

Applicants open one link from your invite, on a phone or a computer, and finish in a single sitting. The page carries your organization's branding, and the test is built for their role, not a generic quiz.

What your team gets

  • Ranked shortlist with scoring rationale
  • Branded candidate reports you can share
  • AI interview guides, notes and calibration
  • One-click hire — scores carry over into ESAT Grow
After the hire, the same results feed ESAT Grow, so the new employee's skill gaps become their training plan. See pricing or estimate your turnover cost. Learn more about AI interview guides or read what a pre-employment assessment is.
