Awards and Recognition

HiringBranch has been officially recognized as the winner of the Lighthouse Advisory HR Tech awards in the Talent Acquisition Technology: Best Advance in Practical AI. Ben Eubanks, the Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory, explains first-hand why HiringBranch was selected: “What if your company could predict which candidates would be high quality before they ever got through the front door? This is the hope of most employers, but many haven't figured out how to make it happen. HiringBranch doesn't just claim this--they offer a guaranteed improvement on employee KPIs, which proves that their AI is about results, not hype. Companies with high volume needs should definitely take a look."

HiringBranch has been named as one of six finalists in the skills assessment category for the 2024 In-house Recruiter Awards! Following careful consideration and review by an expert panel of 12 judges, they were selected as a supplier whose "dedication and innovative approaches stood out from the rest."

HiringBranch is extremely proud to be a finalist in the Best Workplace or Talent Assessment Project category at the 2024 e-assessment awards, for our entry, titled Skill Assessment Implementation Leads to 400% Reduction in Bad Hire Rate.
