We build Aleida on what actually works in recruitment, not on what feels right. Here is the evidence.
Three findings from 100 years of researchAn unstructured interview, where the recruiter asks different questions to different candidates and judges on gut feeling, predicts job performance about as well as chance. A structured interview, where everyone gets the same questions and answers are evaluated against the same criteria, is twice as accurate. That is what Aleida automates.
Sackett et al., 2022Personality tests are popular in recruitment. The research is clear: the best tests explain about five percent of the variance in job performance. That means 95 percent of the difference between a good and a bad hire has nothing to do with personality testing.
Schmidt & Hunter, 1998How long someone has worked in a field is one of the most common selection criteria. Research shows it explains three percent of job performance. A well-designed interview explains ten times more.
Schmidt, Oh & Shaffer, 2016The research has been clear for over twenty years. Yet most hiring decisions are made before a single interview has taken place. The CV is filtered, gut feeling decides, and most candidates never get the chance to show who they are.
It is not ill will. It is a lack of tools.
Aleida is built to change that.
