We often make decisions without realising that our unconscious biases play a role. This can even happen when we have good intentions, so naturally, it will creep into our hiring decisions. Applied offers a solution to reduce this bias when hiring to improve traditional methods. We're trying to create a fairer world, one hire at a time! Our platform has been designed to help our customers find the best talent for their open positions. We do this by leveraging skills-based assessments, which focus on each candidate's skills and abilities that will help them be successful in a role. When using Applied to hire, you can expect up to a fourfold increase in the ethnic diversity of candidates and three times as many suitable candidates. You'll receive analytics at every step of the process so you can feel confident that you're making the best hiring decisions possible. When organisations transform the way they hire, they not only discover the very best candidates, they help usher in a world where everyone feels a sense of inclusion, equity, and belonging. Hire with purpose, supported by science. * * * Seller [Be Applied Ltd.](https://www.g2.com/sellers/be-applied-ltd) Discussions [Applied Community](https://www.g2.com/products/applied/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Kayla Kerr Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 1 month ### Return on Investment 22 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/applied/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![SeekOut](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "SeekOut") SeekOut 4.5/5(784) ](https://www.g2.com/products/seekout/reviews) [ ![JazzHR](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "JazzHR") JazzHR 4.4/5(866) ](https://www.g2.com/products/jazz-co/reviews) [ ![Greenhouse](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Greenhouse") Greenhouse 4.4/5(3,959) ](https://www.g2.com/products/greenhouse/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/applied/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 21 real user reviews.

It's easy to use, and makes the shortlisting process much quicker - both for shortlisters and on the admin side. Candidates who are genuinely interested in the role and the organisation seem to like it, and I don't mind losing candidates who are put off by having to express interest beyond a CV and covering letter. It helps us show that we're concerned about diversity and inclusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Applied? I do find it hard to search and save questions and review guides - it always seems to save them as new questions, and then says I the questions I have on the role are too similar. I've got round it, but it's a niggle. Honestly, the only real downside is the cost. It is well priced, but we are a relatively small charity who aren't constantly recruiting, and it is a big commitment for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Applied solving and how is that benefiting you? It allows us to demonstrate our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the recruitment process. It enables colleagues to shortlist at their own pace and in their own time - and it frees admin time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
