Speed up your hiring process with AI powered recruitment software for professional services

Test Role Specific Skills
Test the skills each role demands with interactive question types and virtual task based outcomes, from structuring a problem and analysing information to writing a clear summary for a client.
Test Soft Skills
The power of Vervoe assessments is that they combine both technical and soft skills. So while you are testing how well someone analyses a problem you are also seeing how clearly they communicate their thinking, which is what your clients will notice from day one.
Hire people your clients will trust
In professional services your people are the product. Consultants and advisors work directly with clients, so it matters that they communicate clearly, think critically and represent your brand and culture. Vervoe assessments test on the job and soft skills together in one simple and engaging assessment. Candidates enjoy them, and you get a complete profile of their skills and attributes in relation to your role.
Build stronger pipelines for every intake
Vervoe allows you to create different assessments for different stages of your hiring funnel. Link candidates directly from your careers page to a screening assessment that helps you create a shortlist, whether you are running a graduate intake or hiring experienced practitioners. Once you are ready to start making hires, invite the shortlisted candidates to complete a more in depth assessment aimed at the skills required to succeed in the role. Make the process engaging by adding your branding and story so candidates learn what it is like to work for your firm as they progress.
Data designed for decision making
Once you have tested your candidates you can drill into their ability with in depth report cards that highlight their match and help you predict on the job performance. See overall scores, breakdowns per skill, ranking and benchmarks, and share results with hiring managers and partners so decisions are faster and more consistent.
Find top performers instantly with Artificial Intelligence
If you are hiring a consultant or analyst, you might be looking for strong communication, structured thinking and time management. Our AI models quickly process thousands of responses, looking for specific words or sentiments that reflect these qualities. Candidates that show more of them are graded higher, and those with less are scored lower. Qualify candidates and surface top performers quickly so you can hire with speed and confidence.

Can Vervoe handle high-volume professional services hiring?
Yes. Vervoe assessments are scalable, so you can screen anywhere from one applicant to thousands, with instant AI grading and ranking that lets your team focus on top performers.
Why is skills-based hiring important in professional services?
Skills-based hiring looks at whether a candidate can do the work, not just their qualifications on paper. In professional services, where analytical thinking, communication and client handling drive results, job simulations show how candidates analyse problems, advise clients and exercise judgement, giving hiring teams a fairer and more consistent basis for decisions.
Which professional services roles can Vervoe assess?
Vervoe supports role-specific assessments for roles such as Consultants, Business Analysts, Management Analysts, Project Managers, Engagement Managers, Financial Analysts, Accountants, Auditors and Client Service Managers.
What skills can Vervoe test for professional services roles?
Job-specific skills such as data analysis, written communication, problem solving and client handling can be tested and validated in the hiring process, along with general aptitude and attention to detail, in realistic scenarios for the role.
How does Vervoe improve professional services hiring?
Job simulations help you identify the right candidates faster. Testing hard and soft skills together makes it easier to shortlist and hire the best candidates, and AI grading and ranking lets your team focus on top performers.
How does Vervoe's AI grading work?
Vervoe’s AI learns from millions of data points collected from real humans grading real job applicants. Through behavioral observation and natural language processing, our algorithms apply this logic with 80% accuracy to your candidate responses.
Do I need to do anything for the AI to score my candidates?
Vervoe’s AI will automatically grade your candidate submissions. If you would like for the predicted score to calculate, you will need to allow at least two hours for the system to generate the predicted score while leaving the candidate card in the assessment stage. This also means that you should not grade the candidate manually before the predicted score has had time to calculate. In order to improve your AI accuracy, we encourage you to include examples of correct answers (there is a field to add these when you are editing your assessment questions). The AI also learns from when you grade candidates. As a best practice, we do recommend that you manually score several candidate responses once the predicted score has been calculated.
Can Vervoe be translated into other languages?
Skills assessments and all candidate emails are fully customizable. We have customers all over the world, and skills assessments have been completed in many languages, including Chinese (for Uber). Embedded features like buttons are in English and are currently not customizable. Localizing the platform is something we have added to our roadmap but can't guarantee and commit to a time frame.
How long does it take to implement Vervoe?
There’s no lengthy implementation or training process with Vervoe. Simply create an account, select your plan and then start creating your assessments. You can choose from our library of pre-built assessments or create your own in minutes.
