Talent Approved
Talent Approved is an AI-powered skill assessment platform designed to help hiring teams make data-driven decisions by evaluating candidates on proven skills rather than CVs. The platform's core feature, Magic Create, uses AI to generate complete multiple-choice assessments from a job description, skills list, or hiring manager notes within minutes. Users can review, edit, and publish these tests, then invite candidates via unique one-time links or email directly from the workspace. The entire candidate experience is localized in 16 languages, ensuring accessibility for global hiring. After candidates complete the assessment, the platform provides detailed per-question results, time tracking, and anti-cheat signals such as tab switch and paste event detection. For deeper verification, screen and webcam recording with synchronized replay of flagged moments is available. AI-generated summaries offer a plain-language verdict on each candidate, while candidate rankings and medals highlight top performers. Additional AI features include tailored interview questions based on individual answers and a recommended candidate selection across all test-takers. Team workspaces allow collaboration, sharing of question libraries, and collective review of candidates. Pricing is simple: $5 per completed candidate assessment, with the first three candidates free and no subscription or seat fees.
