By offering pre-employment assessment tests, HireNest helps companies identify the most suitable candidates, streamlining hiring decisions and reducing costs. The company also provides a "performance guarantee" program similar to equity-based compensation, where candidates can receive $1,000 per month for 12 months if they meet certain performance criteria. However, passing all four levels of testing is required to qualify for the program. While the tests are free, Kaplan charges up to $10,000 for test preparation. This service aims to address the lack of standardized definitions for acceptable test results, allowing candidates to make informed decisions about their suitability for a position. Additionally, pre-employment testing helps employers ensure the health and suitability of candidates, protect against liability, and save costs through reduced turnover rates.
