Hireguide, an innovative interview management system, and Horsefly Analytics, a leader in talent intelligence solutions, have announced a strategic partnership that promises to revolutionize skills-based hiring practices. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in helping organizations move beyond traditional job title-based recruitment to a more comprehensive, skills-focused approach.
Hireguide's end-to-end interview management system, which integrates with 57 Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), combines cutting-edge AI with behavioral science to make hiring decisions faster, fairer, and more predictive of on-the-job performance. When paired with Horsefly Analytics' extensive labor market analytics capabilities, organizations can now seamlessly connect talent sourcing with structured interview processes.
Scott Parish, Hireguide’s CEO had this to say about the collaboration: "Talent intelligence and interview intelligence are truly more powerful together. Horsefly Analytics excels at understanding talent intelligence, and by combining that with Hireguide's focus on interview intelligence, we’re able to help organizations source the right candidates, verify skills, and select the best talent for the role. Both Horsefly Analytics and Hireguide share a commitment to a skills-based approach, making hiring decisions much better."
The partnership addresses a critical gap in current recruitment practices. While traditional ATS platforms often struggle with skills-based hiring, leading to potential bias and inefficient candidate experiences, this new collaboration offers a more structured and equitable approach. According to McKinsey research, implementing structured skills-based hiring can improve job performance outcomes by 3-5 times while mitigating risks related to diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
Patrick Traynor, Horsefly's CRO, emphasizes the transformative potential of this partnership: “By joining forces with Hireguide, we can work in tandem to encourage the shift from solely sourcing talent from job title searches to those based on skills. Not only will this help to reduce bias during the recruitment process, it will also mean that more rigorous assessments can start taking place during the Hireguide structured interview process to identify those key skills required. Horsefly’s granular data coupled with Hireguide’s operationalized skills-based hiring interview process, means this partnership is set to go from strength to strength.”
The partnership is particularly significant for organizations embracing product-led growth, with Hireguide's platform successfully handling 80% of engineering code assessments. As a certified B Corp, Hireguide's commitment to "doing well by doing good" aligns perfectly with Horsefly's mission to transform talent acquisition.
This collaboration enables organizations to:
- Implement truly skills-based hiring from initial sourcing through final selection
- Leverage AI and behavioral science for more predictive hiring outcomes
- Streamline the entire recruitment process through enhanced ATS integration
- Reduce bias and improve diversity in hiring practices
- Make data-driven decisions based on comprehensive talent intelligence
