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

Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the user experience, highlighting the application process as fair, unbiased, and focused on relevant skills. 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 few people mentioned that while the process aims for fairness, requiring a CV and cover letter at the initial stage might contradict a truly "blind" assessment.

Relevant questions asked

The questions asked really made me consider what the role would involve and the skills I would need. Very relevant. It was easy and convenient to add and save answers before submitting the form and I was reminded to do so by email regularly.

This has been one of the most painless…

This has been one of the most painless application processes that I have completed out of many! After the first application was completed the information was stored making it easier to apply for another role. The application questions allow only 250 words for each response, which makes it much easier to be concise.
This would improve the application process if more companies used this platform.

Very enjoyable process

I've been spending time applying for a few different roles recently and this is the first time I've used the Applied system and I really liked it. Structured and clear questions with prompts to guide you and a 250 word limit to make you think about the value of each and every word.

The application process was really positive and professional.

The application process was really clear and straightforward, which made it easy to follow. I felt the focus was on relevant skills and experience, rather than unnecessary hoops, which made it feel fair. It would be even better if there was a quick note about what happens after submission, so candidates know what to expect next. Overall, it was a smooth and professional experience.

Structured, fair, and genuinely insight-driven recruitment process

The recruitment process felt thoughtfully designed and genuinely fair. The assessments focused on how candidates think, structure problems, and communicate ideas, rather than relying purely on prior experience or polished answers.

Instructions were clear, the format was intuitive, and the questions were relevant to the type of work the role involves. I especially appreciated the emphasis on transparency and consistency throughout the process, which made it feel both professional and respectful of candidates’ time.

Overall, it was a well-run experience that gives candidates a realistic sense of what working at the firm would be like.
