Their customer service to their science team are just great people and people you can trust. Pros Berke is great in customizing their assessment process, so my clients understand how a candidate will fill within their company. Cons I would like to see options for more in depth assessments. Alternatives considered [Criteria](https://www.capterra.com/p/119740/Criteria/)[Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Reason for choosing HighMatch I leave this to my client. I help clients choose the best pre-hire assessments for their needs based on science . Review Source Hannah F. Director of Employee Wellness Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Accurate & Useable" November 5, 2018 5.0 We are increasing the data in which we use to analyze applicants. The more information we can gather, the better our decision making process is. We have been able to save time not interviewing applicants who score low and ask direct questions that help us avoid poor hiring decisions. This of course saves our team time, money, and energy. Pros The Berke assessment describes everyone in a positive manner, looking at behaviors and putting them in context of the job position. It adds another layer of data to our decision making process and provides questions to consider when interviewing each candidate. Each candidate (and our team) feels that the summary accurately describes them. This is a useful tool for our team leaders after the hire to know how to work best with each team member. We also like that you can send as many assessments as you like and pay a quarterly flat rate. This allows us to gather as much data as we need in order to make the best hiring decisions. Cons It's hard! Just kidding, but some of our applicants do get a little stressed about some of the timed sections. Even this is helpful in learning about people however. Review Source Response from HighMatch November 14, 2018 Thanks, Hannah. We are happy that Berke has helped you make more informed decisions. JL Jeff L. Owner Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Title processor assessment " July 22, 2020 1.0 I cannot count on the assessments and for the price, it is completely not worth it. Pros Easy to email a candidate, have them take the assessment and get the results. Cons I find it to be inaccurate. Some of the candidates who tested high did not even come close to working out and quite a few of our best people tested as medium. Even some of our borderline medium to low candidates have really excelled while candidates who should have been better at the job according to Berke did not last 30 days. Reason for choosing HighMatch Recommended by a similar company in a different geographic area. Review Source Nate S. Project Manager Mining & Metals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Huge time-saver!" November 7, 2018 5.0 The customer support side has been wonderful. I know if I email them, they'll get back to me quickly and that they really want to help me be successful. Pros The assessments are stunningly accurate. Showing results to a spouse or colleagues usually gets uncomfortable laughter as the results are so candid and true that people can't believe it. This service saves me so much time as a hiring manager. Working in mining and dealing with a candidate base of people unfamiliar with this type of work can make finding the right person tough. I do a quick phone screen followed by the Berke Assessment (which has the value to me of 3 in-person interviews). We move directly into a site visit and job shadowing from there, and we confidently make offers next. We're completely skipping the miserable classic interview process and moving forward with good data - never needing to just trust our guts on candidates. Cons Does not work well with our ATS (BambooHR). I have to sign into Berke to manage candidates and also manage them separately on our ATS. Review Source Response from HighMatch November 14, 2018 Thank you! I am pleased to hear that Berke has helped you save time and helps you better get to know your candidates. BC Bill C. Independent Consultant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Important Hiring Tool" December 22, 2016 5.0 Have been using the Berke Profile and its predecessor for over fifteen years. I've change industries from homebuilding to healthcare. I continue to use the Berke with management and professional candidates. When reviewing the Berke summary with candidates they are almost always amazed at how well the profile captures their personal characteristics relating to the environment of the open position. The Berke is easy to administer and the results are provided within minutes of the candidate completing the profile. Quite of bit of helpful information is provided with the completed profile so even a more inexperienced supervisor is able to successfully work their way through the information provided. I have watched the Berke report evolve with changing workforce demographics and needs. When the Berke is used as a tool in the hiring process, and not as the criteria for a hiring decision, the discussion between candidate and company representative is extremely productive for both parties. Pros When I have taken the time to accurately provide a thorough job standard, the compatibility results are right on. Additionally, as I review the Berke with a candidate, it is not very far into the process before they are usually able to tell me where they are within the criteria before I discuss the actual Berke findings with them as we run through the summary report. Cons I really do not have any issues or suggestions for improvement. After having been involved with so many profiles I do find it easier to find the more subtle nuances in the summary. Not sure there is anything but time in service with the Berke which will bring many of those to the surface for discussion. Review Source Response from HighMatch December 22, 2016 Thank you Bill. We appreciate the feedback! Michael L. VP Organizational Development Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Combination" November 2, 2018 5.0 Berke allows us to hone in on the talents and traits that make the job easier for our best performers. The interview questions that are generated allow us to gain a depth of knowledge about each of the areas in question. Pros The profiles are easy to use and customizable to fit the talent make-up of your best employees. Cons We've been with Berke as they have grown as well. Some of the earliest iterations of the software were missing some key elements. They've been on this platform for a while now and it's hard to find any issues. Review Source Response from HighMatch November 16, 2018 Thanks, Mike! We appreciate it. JT Jody T. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Helped me narrow the candidates down." July 17, 2020 5.0 Great sales person (no pressure which I greatly appreciated). She let me take the test myself and get the results. I was impressed that the test could be taken on a mobile phone. I like the over-all summary of the individual and the focused interview questions. I am also aware of racial and cultural biases and I liked having Artificial Intelligence to help me see who were the best candidates - which makes it easier to not default to gender/cultural/racial biases. Pros I posted my job during the COVID-19 pandemic when unemployment was soaring. I was nervous about wading through all of the applications so decided to utilize a pre-employment screening tool (and chose Berke out of the three that I looked into). Out of 86 total applicants, only 17 filled out the test, of those - there were 13 "high" fit candidates. From there I was able to review each resume and application to decide who to hire. We hired a candidate who was a 100% fit, she is on week 5 of this job and is doing an amazing job. I'm really happy with this hire and with Berke helping me hone in on the best matches. Cons The position was entry-level so I was surprised at the number of "high" fits - I was hoping Berke would narrow it down more. But with a more specific or technical position, this might not be an issue. Reason for choosing HighMatch Jobs are fully customizable vs template. Price was mid-range between the other two. I liked how user friendly it was both on the testing end and felt that the test was a good fit for the types of positions I wanted to use it for this year. If I were hiring for more professional positions - I probably would choose PreVue - but the testing for their products seemed too challenging for admin positions, with a higher price.

President Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Berke Option For Screening Candidates" November 5, 2018 5.0 I often recommend it to clients who need an applicant assessment screening program at a fair price with numerous options for tailoring it to the specific needs of different job positions. It allows a benchmark of all positions to be created easily for screening out candidates that do not fit the needs of the job. Pros Its flexibility is choosing characteristics & skills needed to complete a job successfully. The scoring option that shows how close of a fit a candidate is to the job and specific interview questions! Cons The Integrity section needs to be strengthened. Review Source Response from HighMatch November 16, 2018 Thanks, Norm. We appreciate your insight.

It is a great candidate differentiation tool for our partners. It is low price, easy to use, and produces accurate results! Pros Low price, good assessment with good, accurate results, easy to use Cons Old interface and UI, could use a face lift. It is easy to use though, which is great! Review Source Response from HighMatch November 14, 2018 Thank you! We appreciate the feedback and are glad to hear that the results are accurate. VR Verified Reviewer Candidate Relations Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great User Experience" December 31, 2018 4.0 Great experience! User friendly! Pros Very inexpensive for what you get, easy to send out to candidates. Cons Some of the reports are very strongly worded and will eliminate candidates so we have to limit distribution at times. Review Source Response from HighMatch January 2, 2019 We appreciate the feedback! EK Ethan K. Dental Assistant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great hiring tool" December 4, 2019 5.0 Overall, berke is a great tool to use when hiring new employees. Pros I use Berke Assessment a lot for when I am interviewing and hiring potential employees. The program is awesome with giving great interview questions and determining what are their strengths and weaknesses. Cons Sometimes, the algorithm is not as accurate in determining a person's statistics according to it's standards.

Good reports of candidate results and easy to read. Review Source Response from HighMatch January 11, 2018 Thank you Veronica! ME Mary E. Director of Operations Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's the Customer Service that WOWS!" July 31, 2020 5.0 My favorite part about using Berke is the incredible service I get from their representatives. Anytime I send emails, I always get communication back. They are willing to help answer questions and make sure each need is either met or directed to another solution that best fits our ends. I'm more than impressed. Thank you for making this a great experience. Pros We are a coaching and consulting business that also helps our clients with interviewing potential new hires. The software is easy to use, very user friendly, and it does exactly what we need. Cons NA. Review Source SS Scott S. Director of Human Resources Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Accurate Assessment Tool" December 22, 2016 5.0 We use Berke Assessment during our hiring processes to see if potential candidates will fit within our organization professionally and personally. The character assessments has been SPOT ON and when showing them to the new hire they are amazed by the accuracy. We definitely will continue to use this tool to gauge new hires. Highly recommended! Pros The accuracy on who the people are especially the last page that gives the overall summary. Cons I wish there was a section for testing common sense logistic testing. Review Source Response from HighMatch December 22, 2016 We are so happy that Berke has been beneficial and we appreciate the product feedback. Thank you! CN Christy N. HR Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product" July 17, 2020 4.0 Berke has a great team! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in getting the profiles set up. Pros I love that the Berke looks at what makes an employee successful in your own particular organization as a predictor for finding others that will also be successful. The interview guides have been very helpful in discussing areas that may not match up. Cons I wish there was a way to group certain candidates together such as all the ones that became employees. Switched from [Wonderlic Select](https://www.capterra.com/p/145757/Wonscore-from-Wonderlic/) Wonscore was not a good predictor of who would be successful. Review Source BM Becky M. Director of Human REsources Environmental Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonderful Product!" July 22, 2020 5.0 Implementation was seamless and simple. Customer service, though rarely needed, is very good. Our contact was very accommodating and helpful throughout the purchase process. Pros I have been working in the Human Resources arena for over 30 years and have seen a number of different assessment products at work. Making the move to Berke Assessments in the last year was the best decision our company could have made. The ease of use for administrator and user is amazing, but most importantly, the value of the results is unmatched in my experience. The information we receive on candidates proves to be incredibly accurate and the immediacy of the results is a real advantage. Cons There is nothing I don't like about this service.

Pros Easy to use, great account management, easy to read reports Cons I haven't found anything I don't like about the software Switched from [Caliper Essentials](https://www.capterra.com/p/180778/caliper-essentials/) The assessment process was too long, the overall results were questionable. With Berke there are no questions and the assessment take less time resulting in less drop offs Review Source CP Cass P. Senior Industry Initiatives Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product, great value, excellent service, " January 10, 2018 5.0 This is a great tool as part of our hiring process. Pros Ease of use. Comprehensive and understandable reports. The ability to test applicants against a other job profiles. Cons Not able to test an applicant against the database of job profiles all at once; and/or not able to look up all job profile matches against a single profile. Review Source Response from HighMatch January 11, 2018 Thanks, Cass. We are glad to hear that Berke has been beneficial. We appreciate the feedback! sC steve C. Used the software for: ### "Great tool to help narrow the candidates for hire, down to the best person for that job! " December 21, 2016 5.0 Since we started using the Berke Assessment we have avoided hiring a couple individuals that appeared to have the right answers but their assessment showed otherwise. It has also helped us hire a couple of individuals that didn't really sell themselves as the perfect candidate but the assessment showed they were and have done a great job since hiring them. Review Source Response from HighMatch December 21, 2016 Thank you Steve! We are so happy that Berke has helped you hire great people. CR Chelsea R. HR/EHS Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Berke is beneficial" July 23, 2020 5.0 So far, so good! Pros The fact that employees cannot "cheat" the test. No matter how they choose to answer, somehow the test always knows the truth. Cons I don't care for the metrics used to determine "fit" for job placement. Review Source KH Kimberly H. Human Resources Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent Resource for Employee Development" July 22, 2020 5.0 Pros The assessment truly captures the individual. Cons The timing of the assessments. I felt as though if I had more time I could have scored better. Reason for choosing HighMatch Berke was more user friendly and really nailed personalities.
