Vervoe Reviews & Product Details

Vervoe's mission is to make hiring about merit, not background. Vervoe is a skills assessment platform that helps enterprises see who can do the job, based on evidence, not resumes. It is used mainly for hiring, and also to assess the skills of existing employees. Its role-based assessments are built on real job tasks, and every result is explainable, so candidates, hiring managers, and legal teams can see why. Vervoe is built for large employers that hire in repeatable roles at volume. Vervoe's assessments have been validated using data from millions of candidates, and the platform undergoes an annual bias audit by Holistic AI, an independent auditor. Customers include Lumen Technologies, Australia Post, Rentokil, Kroll, dentsu, and Tennis Australia. Vervoe is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with a growing presence in the United States.

"Much more effective than standard CV screen recruitment process"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

Allows candidates to showcase what they are capable of in a way that is relevant and specific to the role they will need to fulfill for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

I believe the team are working on some of these:

I'd love to be able to score question answers in question groups rather than by candidate, to reduce bias.

I'd love an easier way to search the question library to find the most relevant questions for us to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vervoe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of having to trawl through CVs trying to interpret whether what someone has done is a match to our requirements, I get to see how they would approach the role we have.

For a role with over 65 applicants, the Vervoe process allowed us to shortlist 3 for phone interview. Of these, we invited 2 for face to face interview, and we ended up hiring both of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible hiring experience"

5/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

Seamless and enjoyable hiring process that enabled a comfortable screening and selection of candidates who were motivated to demonstrate their fit for our role in response to dynamic, relevant and meaningful set of criteria.

Had 100 applicants for a key role in our small business. Sent all applicants our customised Vervoe talent trial. 40 completed it. 7 were shortlisted. 1 was hired for advertised role. Another was hired for a newly created position. Entire process took 3 days. We did not look at resumes until the shortlist stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

There was nothing that we disliked. A few initial adjustments to using the software were made easy by the immediate and frequent responses of the Vervoe support team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vervoe solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was very important to hire the right person for a role that is central to our business. Without Vervoe we would have spent a long time screening candidates, and had misleading information in advance of meeting candidates. Vervoe allowed us to efficiently shortlist high calibre people who were clearly suitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Been using Vervoe for a few months and love it!"

5/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

We hire sales reps remotely and this helps us to weed out unprofessional applicants very well. Our applicants live throughout the US so we hire them and fly them to Chicago without first meeting them face to face. Vervoe eliminates unprofessional people and has allowed me to bring on exactly what I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

The only thing I would change is the reject letter section. There is some confusion in that area. When it isn't checked it still sends the email to the candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vervoe:

If you need pre-employment screening, Vervoe is the best and most cost-effective solution I have used. I love the product. It has helped me to ensure the people we bring to our corporate office for training are professional and what we are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vervoe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to see our remote reps and how professional they are before spending thousands of dollars to bring them to Chicago and train them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy way to pre-screen applicants"

5/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

I appreciate the flexibility to create a wide range of questions. The ability to create a spreadsheet and have applicants modify it is key for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

It can be a bit glitchy from time to time but the team has been very responsive and they have been rolling out improvements on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vervoe:

We were looking for a skill testing application that was flexible and allowed for a variety of question types. We find that developing new questions is simple and over all the program is easy to use. We find that our completion rates are not as high as we would like and we do spend a fair amount of time following up with candidates who haven't completed talent trials. One way we improved this is by reading resumes and only inviting interesting candidates to complete trials. And, we only have candidates complete one longer skill trial instead of breaking it up into smaller tests. We have found a better completion rate using these strategies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vervoe solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted a flexible way to pre-screen candidates and test essential skills. This allows us to weed out candidates with great resumes but poor skills at the top of the interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

Ease to invite and update the candidate on the hiring process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

Some links for having the candidate use an external online IDE are not clickable. No accurate scoring especially with open ended questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's a great experience to use Vervoe."

4/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

It helps to determine a candidate's motivation and we don't have to chase them for a phone interview. Saves a lot of time and helps to get a better talent pool as well as turn over ratio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

Nothing on top of my mind but if I have to pick up something that would be if we are in talent trials or other options sometimes it doesn't give the option to go back to the dashboard or back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamline your recruitment process"

5/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

All the main documents and data needed for intelligent recruiting are kept in one place. If you're someone who doesn’t recruit often, but want to keep track of candidates and assess them fairly while managing all your other business processes (who has time to set aside a whole day for reviewing application letters?) Vervoe is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

Occasional glitches some candidates experienced logging into the session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vervoe:

This SAAS won't do the work for you - you still need to populate it with valid selection tasks appropriate to your industry and the position you have available. But once you've done that work, this will save you a lot of time, confusion and headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vervoe solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can see where I'm up to in the recruitment process, can grade candidates fairly and keep track of where they are in the process, so that contacting them at their different terminating points is done. This helps you establish a good reputation as a fair and courteous employer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamline your hiring process with leads from job posting boards"

4/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

We liked the Zapier integration and the Indeed job board posting. Also, Vervoe offers a wide range of pre-made assessments to choose from and customize for our pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

I wish there was an easier way to track the source of our candidates. Also, a deeper integration with our current tools via API would better streamline our process. Also wish there were more job board options (but I do believe this feature is in BETA). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vervoe:

Have your hiring and on-boarding processes in place before using the platform will allow you to best utilize its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vervoe solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a way to track the progress of our candidates in a way that was a little more automated. We have a small team and we needed a way to streamline the initial stages of the hiring process while still bringing on quality candidates to interview. With Vervoe we were able to break down our process in Kanban format. The pre-made industry specific assessments helped us to find good questions to ask candidates for our sales rep position as well.

Hi Don!

Thanks so much for your feedback. We are happy that Vervoe has helped you streamline your hiring process. Did you know that creating unique links to post in several locations makes it easy to track the source of your candidates?

The source details can be found in a candidate card. If you need more information about tracking candidates, get in touch with us. We are always happy to help!

"Excellent Product That Helped Us With Two Great Hires"

5/5

What do you like best about Vervoe?

We really loved the quality of the applicant testing, and so did our applicants. The product experience allowed us to have comprehensive talent trials together in less than an hour. Vervoe also offers a library of tests made by industry experts, which were also quality. The tests allow for interesting formats through the use of video and interactive content, which was a big plus for us a creative agency. The UI was excellent — coming from a design background myself, this was something I really appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vervoe?

At the time that we used Vervoe, posting ads to job boards was about to go into beta. This was the only feature I would have requested, but it seems that the Vervoe team are already working on integrating this into the product, which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
