While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Many found the system refreshing and easy to use, appreciating its clear structure and the opportunity to showcase their suitability beyond a traditional CV. People felt respected and engaged, with the process often described as human-centered and thoughtful.

A fair, thoughtful and human-centred application process

I found this to be a thoughtful and engaging application process. The structured questions allowed me to demonstrate judgement, experience, and approach in a way that felt far more meaningful than traditional CV-based applications.
What stood out most was the emphasis on fairness and anonymity, which supports a more equitable assessment of candidates. The process felt clear, well-paced, and reflective of the real demands of the role, allowing candidates to show how they think and operate under pressure.
There was also a sense of humanity in the design of the experience, which made it feel more inclusive and considered. Overall, this is a strong example of how recruitment processes can be both rigorous and equitable.

Hiring process was painless and quick

Hiring process was painless and quick. Also, and more importantly, the "no bias" hiring process is something that gives all applicants the "fairest" possible chance of being hired - based on what one can bring to the table.

Fair and thoughtful hiring process

I had a really positive experience using Applied. The process felt clear, structured, and focused on what actually matters for the role, rather than just CV screening. I especially liked that it gave space to demonstrate how you think and approach problems through real examples.

Overall, it felt like a fairer and more thoughtful way of hiring compared to more traditional processes.

My experience during this application…

My experience during this application thankfully didn’t meet my expectations. I was prepared to share my portfolio and grades, however being asked about personal experiences and my own worldview and actions created a sense of warmth and eased my worries of presenting perfection.

Call this thing Ambrosia because its from the Job Gods

As a job hunter, this process was a thing sent from the cosmos. It's lovely, and everyone should use it. People everywhere are now paralyzed by the job hunting process because writing cover letters are an antiquated form of torture, and the cat's out of the bag that we are all in some way discriminated against in the hiring process. Either because we are of a marginalized identity OR because we're not. You really can't win. Applying for jobs is exhausting, and this process made it so much more breezy because it took the fear out of being immediately written off before our application is even viewed.

Very straightforward

Very straightforward . Asked the right questions and helped me remember my experiences and skill sets. I’d wasn’t an arduous process of repeating what would have been easily covered on a CV
