Case study
How a practicing HR helped refine Zippy for specialist hiring
The challenge
The company hires specialists for whom a resume alone is not enough. Professional knowledge and fit for the specific role need to be verified in advance.
Solution
Zippy was added to the screening process as an extra stage of candidate assessment before the interview.
The candidate completes a structured scenario and role-specific tasks, after which the company gets additional information about their knowledge and fit for the vacancy.
The assessment scenario adapts to the specific position — from accounting to architecture, design and engineering tasks.
Result
The company learns more about the candidate before the interview and can select specialists who match the role requirements faster.
The pilot is complete. Result: the office manager vacancy with plotter experience was closed in 10 working days — read the second Astana Inzhproekt case study.
Client testimonial
Try for freeAstana Inzhproekt hires accountants for the construction industry, as well as architects and designers in Astana and Almaty. For such vacancies a resume says very little, so we needed a stage where the candidate could demonstrate their knowledge before the interview.
We started the pilot with five vacancies at once. The workload was heavy, but it let me see how the platform works in every scenario within a short time and understand what it lacks for an HR who runs recruiting every day.
I passed all my comments to the Zippy team: which stages are needed for different positions, how to make candidate results easier to review, where the process could be shortened. Every time the team went through the feedback, refined the functionality and shipped changes to the product within days. I watched my suggestions become part of the platform.
Usually HR adapts to the service. Here it worked the other way around, and the product evolved around the real work with candidates.
That is the key thing for me. The Zippy team listens to practitioners and quickly turns their experience into a working tool. That's why I'm confident the platform will be useful for companies where hiring specialists requires precise assessment.
