What do you like best about Unberry?
I hired for the Product Managers and Analysts using Unberry. I'd now classify there to be two eras in hiring - pre Unberry and post Unberry.
Pre Unberry Hiring:
We were heavily dependent on resumes. All resumes were mostly same as candidates used chatgpt or reverse engineered their resumes to match the JD requirements. We did not know if the people had the bent of mind, knowledge about tools, systems and process to be product manager. Honestly, I never used assessments beacuse no test can judge the qualities you needed in a PA/PM.
We were totally dependent on the interviews to discover the communication skills in spoken and written format.
We had to make each candidate go through a case study round which we were evaluating physically.
Issues:
It was a nightmare to coordinate all these dissociated and physical steps.
It was hard to standardise the hiring across multiple leads, each had their top traits to evaluate and different mechanism to evaluate.
We were spending insane amount of time of some of our best guys, because we had to spend time interviewing insane amount of candidates.
Post Unberry Hiring:
Unberry is the only tool that I found very effective to hire PMs and PAs.
We can access candidates on their engineering knowledge, product process and their knowledge not just via MCQs so much beyond that. We're using case studies, game based assessments and immersive exercise to now evaluate people as second step of screening.
The first step is just resume elimination of totally unrelated profile - then every candidate give as chance to demonstrate their knowledge and though process objectively via Unberry assessments.
I can share inputs while an Unberry assessment is creating for our roles, make the level more challenging or leser, add industry context and do so much more.
Benefits:
Assessments are very relevant to role we are hiring for.
Unberry assessments are not those simple mental maths or verbal ability type test - they are extremely role relevant and complex, matching to what we actually want to assess.
My interviewers now spend time on highly qualified pool of candidates, with deep insights from Unberry rounds.
It's very time efficient - results are instantly generated.
They have the best support team, I hardly was stuck while setting up, onboarding is brilliant and they respond very swiftly post just a message/email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
