Trying to evaluate digital skills during hiring is harder than ever. Resumé inflation. AI-fabricated cover letters. Outsourced portfolios. Social media humblebragging. You name it. It’s trickier by the day to distinguish skill from con.
How can you know whether candidates — consultants, freelancers or employees — can do the job you’re hiring them for?
Gatekeeper's standardized assessments are hand-crafted by experts to quickly determine whether a candidate has the problem-solving competences for the role you're hiring them for.
They're also easy to order, affordable and quick to complete.
This allows you to compare candidates early in the hiring process and quickly eliminate those who aren't up to the task.
Simple, easy pricing: pay per assessment, no up-front or recurring costs.
Currently, we offer assessments in digital marketing and in analytics.
In the future, we'll offer assessessments for a wide variety of digital roles in which it is essential to link digital competences with business accumen. These are also roles that are typically filled in by consultants, agencies and freelancers.
Creating an account with Gatekeeper is entirely free. We don't do subscriptions. As a matter of fact, we hate supscriptions. You pay on a per-assessment basis.
We've implemented various technologies that track how a candidate behaves within their browser.
We know if they open other tabs, if they try to copy text, if they minimize their window, etc.
Oh, and they need to have their webcam on during an assessment. We take random snapshots, or when multiple faces are detected.
Pictures taken during an assessment are deleted after seven days.
Furthermore, when a candidate removes their profile, we send their assessment reports one final time to the organizations that ordered it, and their personal data is removed.
Gatekeeper is an excellent pre-screening tool. It's cheap and can easily be completed by multiple candidates before inviting them to an interview.
It is also used to keep track of the competence level of your team, e.g. before and after a training.
Gatekeeper's assessment results are grouped per competence.
This means that they guide organizations for planning training, and further career development. They're also be topics for conversation during the interview.
We group questions per competence, enabling a quick interpretation of the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate.
Furthermore, once we have collected enough data, we'll be able to tell you how they compare to the rest of the market.
All questions are part of a competence. These competences are formulated in such a way that they are easily understandable.
Our questions are notoriously hard. Usually, one can identify a good candidate when they score exceptionally well on one or more competences. Rarely does a candidate excel at all competences. Further training usually suffices to turn a good candidate into a rock star.
Gatekeeper focuses on digital competences. We don't test for interpersonal skills and offer no personality tests. Typically, these are relevant in management roles. For digital management roles, nothing stops you to have a candidate do both.
Candidates hate it when they have to do the same assessment over and over for different companies. That's why we introduced certificates.
When you order an assessment, you get a 50% discount if you choose to make the results public. Making results public means the candidate won't have to redo the assessment if another company orders the same assessment for the same candidate.
