1. What is Werkadoo's Matching System and how does it work?

We know it's hard to find the right people for your task, project, or position, so we created Werkadoo's matching system to help improve the way businesses and professionals find each other. It works by not only measuring the skills required, but also the people skills, behavioral traits, and work preferences of the candidate being screened. By measuring the human element as well as the skills required, Werkadoo is better able to bring the right people to the right projects, and help ensure project success by getting them started on the right foot!

2. Why should I use Werkadoo to find talent?

By using Werkadoo's Matching System to find your next hire(s), you're saving yourself hours of headache, time sifting through hundreds of resumes, and potentially finding the wrong person. Did you know that the cost of a bad hire is often two and a half times the salary of the position hired? A pretty penny. By using Werkadoo, you're reducing the risk involved in the hiring process, and ensuring that you're getting the right people brought to your inbox before the interviews and RFPs even get started.

3. As a business, how does Werkadoo's team feature benefit me?

Werkadoo allows you to hire entire pre-formed teams for the projects you have in the pipeline. Ask any project manager, and they'll tell you that sourcing the right candidates to form a team is often the hardest part of any project. Werkadoo takes a huge leap forward, allowing the formation of teams by professionals, and the Matching System works just as well for one candidate or 10! Back to our core values of saving you time, money, and getting the right people in front of you before the project begins.

5. Why should I complete my matching survey?
