The next generation of recruitment

Edison Watt is no fledgling startup.
We’ve spent 30 years solving the biggest problems of old-fashioned hiring methods:

• 
  How to find the best person when you don’t know where they are, and job ads can only be posted in one city.
• 
  How to objectively shortlist 30,000+ applications, when research shows résumé screening datapoints predict success as accurately as a candidate’s star sign.
• 
  How to assess faraway candidates without bias, when you’ve never heard of their alma mater or workplace.
• 
  How to eliminate fraudulent behaviour, from watching cat videos all day to moonlighting five full-time jobs.
