Before you submit to the client

Soft skills evidence on every submittal

Every submittal includes a CV and your notes. WiseWorld adds behavioral evidence from job-related scenarios so your client sees proof, not opinion.

Why now

Recruiting agencies now win on proof in the submittal,
not on who finds the most CVs.

Finding candidates is easier than ever. Fake résumés and AI-written applications weakened resume signal. The agency that sends soft skills evidence before the client interview keeps the retainer.

  • 89%

    Of screened candidates never get sent to the client

  • 77%

    Of recruiter screen time spent on people the client never sees

  • $400

    Lost per placement screening candidates who never get sent to the client

Six hiring funnel gaps after AI sourcing

What's missing today

You already use good tools.
Each one has a gap.

CVs, phone screens, personality tests, and client interviews all play a role. What they don't give you is objective proof of how candidates behave before you submit.

  1. What you use today

    CV and sourcing

    What it is good for

    Find people fast

    What it does not give you

    No proof of how they behave on the job

  2. What you use today

    Phone screen

    What it is good for

    Quick human check

    What it does not give you

    Gut feel, not evidence your client can trust

  3. What you use today

    Personality test

    What it is good for

    Standardized scores

    What it does not give you

    Traits, not job behavior in real work situations

  4. What you use today

    Client interview

    What it is good for

    Final hire decision

    What it does not give you

    Often becomes the first real soft skills test

Screening cost

Screening costs you.
Interviews cost your client.

Save both and send proof on every submittal. WiseWorld helps you spend less time screening and send evidence your client can use before the interview.

How it works

Three steps to a client-ready submittal

How recruiting agencies add soft skills evidence: set the bar from the job description, send a job-related scenario, then attach fit scores and interview guidance to each client submittal.

  1. Set the bar from the job description.

    Paste the client job description. WiseWorld builds one soft skills profile for the role so every candidate is scored against the same bar before submit.

  2. Send the scenario link.

    After your screen, send one link. Candidates complete a job-related scenario on their schedule. You don't need a second call to guess at soft skills. Candidates show them in the scenario.

  3. Rank, then submit with evidence.

    Rank assessed candidates on your desk, then attach match scores, gaps to check, and the interview question to each client submittal before the client interview.

Before the client sees a name

Candidates finish the scenario without another recruiter call.

Recruiting agencies send the scenario link after their screen. Candidates complete a job-related scenario, so you attach soft skills evidence to the client submittal and the client interview confirms evidence instead of starting from zero.

Can candidates cheat your soft skills assessment?

What you attach to the client submittal

Rank on your desk, then send evidence to the client.

Recruiting agencies see who fits before submit. Each client submittal includes a match score, soft skills evidence, gaps to check, and the interview question for the client interview.

  • Who to submit first

    Rank assessed candidates on one req. Everyone faced the same job-related scenario, so you submit the strongest names with a fit score on every client submittal.

    WiseWorld
  • What to flag for the client

    See which soft skills met the bar and which still need a check in the client interview. Send the summary of gaps with the name, not after the client asks.

    WiseWorld
  • What the client asks next

    Each submittal includes the interview question tied to how the candidate performed in the scenario, so the client validates one skill instead of discovering soft skills from scratch.

Where hiring costs the most

The client interview is the
most expensive stage.

The client interview should confirm evidence, not start from zero. WiseWorld puts soft skills evidence on every submittal before submit.

  1. 01

    Job-related scenarios

    Candidates show communication, ownership, and pressure handling in realistic job tasks. Not a personality test.

  2. 02

    Evidence on every submittal

    Soft skills evidence on every client submittal: what they demonstrated, what still needs checking, and the interview question to ask next.

  3. 03

    Shorter client interviews

    Your client asks the interview question from the submittal and validates one skill. Less discovery in the client interview, more time on a hire decision.

Make the client’s decision easier

Don’t ask your client to trust
a CV and a phone call.

Each candidate completes a job-related assessment before submit. Your client gets evidence, gaps to check, and the interview question to ask next.

Your fee after AI

Sourcing is cheap now. You charge ~20% of a year's salary.
Clients expect proof, not a CV.

Recruiting agencies keep the retainer when every client submittal includes soft skills evidence from job-related scenarios, not just another sourced CV.

  1. Proof they can act on

    Your client opens the client submittal and sees soft skills evidence and a fit score, not your call notes.

  2. The one with evidence

    3 client submittals land on the client's desk. Only yours includes soft skills evidence and a fit score.

  3. The desk that doesn't redo

    A free re-search costs weeks you never bill for. Catch gaps early.

  4. The one clients rebook

    The next req goes to whoever's last placement is still working.
