Searchlight is really powerful because it tells you how this person will be at the job in a much more predictive way than an interview can. When a new hire struggles after they join the company, we’ll go back to the Searchlight report and sure enough, Searchlight already knew and highlighted their growth areas for us.

I consider myself a “reference snob.” I think information from references are some of the most predictive information that we can get in the hiring process. Before Searchlight, I thought the only way to get this data was through interviews and by doing the reference calls myself. Now my whole executive team knows that Searchlight’s reference data is superior to what we used to get.

The behavioral data returned from Searchlight was so effective that it gave us the conviction to replace an entire interview round. This gave hundreds of hours back to the business, reduced our time-to-fill by seven days, and improved our candidate experience.
