What We Do
Not every candidate is a top performer—and neither is every hiring assessment provider.
Wonderlic’s mission is to help HR professionals identify top applicants and predict on-the-job performance by providing them with the most trusted, scientifically validated assessments on the market. Since the company was founded in 1937, more than 200 million Wonderlic assessments have been administered to job candidates.
Our formula for success is simple: cutting-edge I/O psychology research, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and a company culture grounded in a thirst for innovative thinking and a sincere respect for diverse perspectives.
Here’s why thousands of companies rely on Wonderlic’s unique "whole person” assessments to identify the best fits for every open role, hire with confidence, and more.
1. Reduce turnover
By identifying candidates who have the skills, temperament, and motivation needed to succeed in their role within your organization, Wonderlic significantly reduces turnover. We’ve helped our clients reduce turnover by up to 44%.
2. Create a more equitable hiring process and culture
The objective candidate data we provide allows hiring teams to see whether candidates have what it takes to excel, regardless of their work experience or level of education. This data-driven assessment approach helps organizations mitigate the unconscious bias inherent in the hiring process—and create more diverse, equitable, and inclusive teams.
3. Streamline your hiring process
By using WonScore to pre-screen candidates, you can cut your applicant review time by up to 50%—and quickly focus on your highest-potential candidates before they get snapped up by a competitor.
4. Deliver a first-class candidate experience
Unlike most assessment companies, Wonderlic offers candidate feedback reports that provide candidates with curated insights into their score. In addition, our assessment provides new hire success tips for a better understanding of a candidate’s personality, motivators, and learning potential.
5. Build a future-proof workforce
As new technologies transform the job landscape, more and more companies are focused on finding employees with the ability to learn new skills, adjust to change, and thrive in the face of uncertainty. Our competency-based insights also help companies get a clearer sense of candidates’ capacity for development and long-term growth.
Why Work With Us
Wonderlic’s progressive company culture is grounded in a thirst for innovative thinking and a sincere respect for diverse perspectives.
We're also deeply committed to “walking the walk” when it comes to providing work/life balance. This is why we recently moved to a 32-hour, 4-day work week while maintaining our already generous PTO policy.
