About Story
Since 2012, Pivotal Talent has pioneered a world-first AI solution that transforms recruitment. We recognised that traditional hiring methods—subjective interviews and standardised assessments—weren't designed to predict actual job performance. They test generic traits rather than role-specific success factors, leading to costly mistakes.
​
Today, we've analysed over 6.2 million data points and assessed more than 100,000 candidates, developing sophisticated AI that doesn't just match CVs to descriptions—it scientifically predicts who will truly excel in specific roles.
The Problem & Our Solution
Traditional recruitment achieves just 55% hiring accuracy and takes 5-9.5 weeks per hire. Interviews favour candidates we relate to, not necessarily the best performers. Recruiters lack expertise across diverse roles. Standardised tests ignore what actually predicts success in different positions.
​
Pivotal Talent takes a different approach.
We map the role-specific predictors of performance—the blend of skills, experience, abilities, motivation, interest and traits that drive success. Our performance-prediction models analyse these signals to produce ranked shortlists of candidates most likely to succeed - and stay in the job, not just interview well.
Why We're Different
Whilst others focus on sourcing candidates or chatbots, we've pioneered the crucial middle ground—scientific matching between application and shortlist. Our role-specific approach means the factors we assess for a finance position are entirely different from those for a sales role.
We recognise that different roles require different predictors of success, and our AI adapts accordingly.
​
The result? Automated screening that's objective, accurate, and fast—helping both organisations and individuals flourish through better talent matches.
