Glider.AI

About the software:

Glider.AI is a platform designed to enhance the recruitment process by providing tools for technical assessments, skill evaluations and candidate screening. Glider aims to streamline the hiring process and improve the efficiency of recruitment by providing comprehensive tools for evaluating technical skills. Glider.AI addresses talent quality at every stage of the recruiting funnel, ensuring candidate skill, fit and interest is at the heart of all your hiring and people decisions.

Why is it being featured?

Glider.AI is a fast-growing technical assessment tool that is customizable to each client and team to ensure content is relevant to each unique business. Glider’s artificial intelligence helps validate technical skillsets, monitors for potential fraud/cheating and video records the entire assessment so the hiring manager can watch how candidates work through different scenarios. 

Glider.AI assesses technical expertise across hundreds of programming languages and 250+ technologies in a coding environment that simulates your actual code and provides confidence in all your hiring decisions. Glider.AI boasts the capability to assess expertise across a vast array of programming languages and technologies, all within a realistic coding environment.

Here at Horizontal, we use Glider because it tailors the assessment content and problem-solving scenarios to precisely match the specific needs of our clients, which gives us the flexibility to use it when and where we need it. 

Kim’s insights: 

A tool like Glider can add a lot of value to the technical screening process, but it also adds extra steps within the hiring process, which is something that you need to be conscious of as you fold this into your process. Additional steps can cause delays which may result in missing out on quality candidates who don’t have the time to commit. This added commitment may not be right for every situation and is something we have to be conscious of when determining if it fits our client’s needs.

Ultimately, Glider.AI is a resource to help recruiters and hiring managers better understand a candidate's technical ability without having to burden client resources to assist in technical evaluation. It provides an unbiased approach to evaluating candidates’ technical and problem-solving skills at scale. 

An important feature we like about Glider is the ability to customize the assessments, so they are relevant to the individual requirement and client that we are working with. This way, candidates are not wasting their time answering questions that may not be relevant to the role they are seeking.
