Why Use Yardstick to Solve Sales Hiring?

the first time

3. Reduce the time it takes
to hire talent
Yardstick uses a structured interview approach to streamline the interviewing process. Our software saves you time and resources by reducing the preparation time for interviewers, the duration of each interview, and the number of interviews overall. Our software helps you identify the optimal questions to more quickly understand if a candidate's experience matches the core competencies for the role.
2. Establish an equitable interviewing process
Our guided interview process helps to identify high performers and reduce unconscious bias. This approach levels the playing field by consistently interviewing and assessing roles and candidates. This approach prioritizes inclusivity, fights against discrimination, and ensures fair hiring practices.

How do we differ from ATS software?
Yardstick's Intelligent Talent Selection software will complement existing HR applicant tracking software. Yardstick comes into the process after the Applicant Tracking System has selected the initial set of candidates. Yardstick enables the best hiring decisions with a structured, behavioral interview approach.
