Berke Reviews & Product Details

The personality assessment was spot on. It really allowed for us to see what they were like and if they would fit in our company culture. When we followed the questions to ask it allowed for us to get more in-depth perspective of who they really are and whether or not they were honest with themselves when taking the exam.

The test itself, when taken seriously, can be a bit mentally draining. I took it and scored relatively high on it (94-98 percentile) on our different assessments and it made us wonder if we were being correct in the type of individual for the role and that we perhaps needed to reevaluate the role and type of person for it. That's the one part I would have liked a bit more assistance on from the Berke team on ensuring that were thinking of the position thoroughly. Another issue that I encountered for individuals is that if they were distracted, taking this test at home with possible distractions that would not score well.

I love the ease of the solution, uploading job descriptions and having assessment custom adjusted for the need is fantastic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would change is to address the mismatches in a more straightforward manner and not always put the optimistic twist on something that should be a true concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this moment I cannot think of anything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like that Berke assessments are not in the traditional format! They delve into a person's true personality and are very accurate and eye-opening. They also get the candidate thinking about themselves in a new way that they have never thought about before. As employers, we also like that we are provided interview tools that are tailored specifically to the candidate, and not the cookie cutter "behavioural interview" questions that most HR professionals use. We also love and find very helpful that fact that you can put any candidate that has taken a specific assessment against any other job profile that has been created, and get a very accurate result of how they would be in another position.

Honestly, there isn't anything that I can think of that I dislike. All the consultants are very good to deal with, very helpful, and insightful when we are creating our job specific assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love how easy the test is to take. Compared to programs we have used in the past, our test takers are actually able to fill out the assessment accurately and in a timely manner. In addition, the readings are extremely accurate and very specific, giving our hiring department the base platform we have been looking for for our applicants.

At this time I have not experienced any downside to the service provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The assessments let us skip way ahead in the interview process. For us, it's the equivalent of 2-3 interviews that we accomplish by sending an email. My process now involves a phone-screen that leads into the assessment, followed by an on-site job shadow, followed by an offer. We're doing much more in the interview process because we can trust that Berke is discovering traits that we might not have discovered through our own interviews. Our turnover went from the high 20% range to about 10%, and we're really enjoying the quality of our new hires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm sad that I didn't start working with Berke a decade ago. My only really quibble is that they can't yet fully integrate with our company's ATS (we're with BambooHR). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The assessment helped me identify the best way to communicate with my employees. I also tested multiple candidates prior to their final interview to gauge their strengths and weaknesses. The "Additional Interview Questions" were invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was so accurate, I refused to share my profile with my staff for fear they would know how to manipulate me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Berke provides me and my applicant with feedback that is useful in determining whether or not a prospect is a good fit for our company. I also like that we have been able to customize our benchmarks!

Another great feature is the ability to send the results to applicants when the assessment is finished, This has been helpful in ensuring that qualified applicants actually arrive for their interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real downside. I loved that the questions could be answered at the convenience of the applicant and from anywhere where there was internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working with Berke to tailor our profile for our various roles to best determine our hiring profile. I also appreciate the flexibility and utilization of the assessment and how quickly we receive results. I also like receiving a flat charge per year and being able to assess as many candidates as possible. We have also leveraged this to build hiring profiles with our current Associates too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing honestly. Everything is working well. We are getting buy-in from our leaders regarding the assessment tool which is helping us to make better hiring decisions. It's all good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Berke assessment describes everyone in a positive manner, looking at behaviors and putting them in context of the job position. It adds another layer of data to our decision making process and provides questions to consider when interviewing each candidate. Each candidate (and our team) feels that the summary accurately describes them. This is a useful tool for our team leaders after the hire to know how to work best with each team member. We also like that you can send as many assessments as you like and pay a quarterly flat rate. This allows us to gather as much data as we need in order to make the best hiring decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard! Just kidding, but some of our applicants do get a little stressed about some of the timed sections. Even this is helpful in learning about people however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A long time assessment user, we went to market and found the Berke Assessment. Our criteria was that the report was easy for us and our clients' to read, that the assessment covered both personality and cognitive areas and we wanted to work with a great team. Berke delivered on all three of our criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
