About Mocksy

We're transforming hiring by focusing on skills, not resumes.

The Problem with Traditional Hiring

Traditional resume-based hiring is fundamentally flawed. Resumes are often poor predictors of job performance and can introduce unconscious bias into the hiring process.

Studies show that up to 78% of resumes contain misleading statements, while 46% contain actual lies.1 This makes it difficult to accurately assess a candidate's true capabilities.

Resume bias: Recruiters spend an average of just 7.4 seconds reviewing a resume, often making snap judgments based on factors unrelated to job performance.2

Poor prediction: Research shows that resume screening has only a 14% correlation with actual job performance.3

The Cost of a Bad Hire

The Power of Resume Blindness

When you focus on skills rather than resumes, you make better hiring decisions and build stronger teams.

Reduced Bias

Skills-based assessments reduce unconscious bias by focusing on what candidates can do, not who they are or where they've worked.6

Better Predictions

Work simulations are 29% more predictive of job performance than traditional interviews and 58% more predictive than resume screening.7

Diverse Teams

Companies that implement skills-based hiring see a 50-70% increase in diversity of hires and a 70% reduction in time-to-hire.8
