See exactly how HiringBranch rises the best skilled candidates to the top. No guesswork. No phone screens.
Measure 50+ soft skills in one candidate experience
HiringBranch measures communication and soft skills proven to matter most in real job moments for top performers.
Skills predict performance, retention, and hiring success.
Research shows that top-skilled applicants become top performers on the job. Despite growing skills gaps, most organizations still rely on self-reported skills rather than verified assessments.
Skills you know, combined the way jobs actually work
There’s no job that requires only one skill. Assessments often isolate one skill or another, but HiringBranch brings them all together into a short experience that accurately measures role-critical skills.
A customer walks in undecided. You have 90 seconds.
You've got a prospect on the line. The pitch starts now.
A complex request comes in. There's no script for this one.
Your colleague made a mistake. How does this conversation go? There's no script for this one.
Language proficiency is a pre-requisite
Every skill competency is built on language, spoken and written. A candidate who can't communicate clearly can't demonstrate their skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Using advanced data modelling and a proprietary dataset built specifically for soft skills measurement, HiringBranch has made it possible to assess soft skills at scale, with results validated against real on-the-job performance outcomes.
It depends on the roles you're hiring for. Effective skills taxonomies need to be customized to each organization. If you don't already have a defined skills list per role, an assessment can show you what soft skills your top performers actually share — and those can be built into a custom HiringBranch assessment. For common frontline roles, HiringBranch also has data on the soft skills that predict performance most reliably. Check our blog for breakdowns by role, including customer service and sales.
Psychometric tests measure cognitive ability and personality traits, but they have real limitations. They're rarely job-specific, which means no single test reliably predicts post-hire performance on its own. Using them well requires specialist training, and they're prone to bias from cultural differences, language barriers, and unfamiliarity with testing formats.
AI-powered soft skills assessments work differently. Candidates respond to real-world, role-specific scenarios, and the results are scored against validated performance data. That's how hiring teams can identify, with 98% accuracy, which candidates will perform well before a single interview.
Self-reported skills are common, but they're unvalidated, and that's the problem. What a candidate believes about their own abilities may not match how they actually perform on the job. Building a workforce on validated skills, not self-assessments, is how you reduce hiring risk and improve quality of hire.
Yes, and they should be. HiringBranch ties every assessment directly to the KPIs that matter to your organization, so the skills you're screening for are the same ones driving performance after hire.
