Background.
In 2022, Gary Benedik, president of Arch Advisory Group, realized there was an urgent need to find a better way to assess and evaluate candidates at scale. At the time, he and his team followed this process:
Candidate lead
A candidate lead comes in via headhunting or a job application.
Resume review
The team reviews the candidate's resume.
Screening interview
An interview screens the candidate.
Handover
The candidate is handed over to HR and recruiters.
What problems were they facing?
Screening interviews and resumes helped recruiters identify suitable candidates, but Gary realized there was a need to evaluate real-world skills better. Arch Advisory Group screened and processed upwards of 80+ candidates every month for mid- to senior-level roles across a plethora of industries, interviewing and subjectively comparing each one against what Arch's end-client needed.
- Validating that a candidate's resume/CV skills were, in fact, accurate
- The more technical the role, the harder it was to verify real skills
- No reliable, scalable way to compare candidates for high-tech roles
Candidates screened every month
The Solution
Gary started using Testlify after signing up for a free trial. He explored the platform and soon decided to use it in his recruitment process.
Once a candidate was approved, they were sent a Testlify assessment to complete. The results were then handed over to the hiring manager along with the candidate's resume and any other information, giving hiring managers a broader array of information and deeper insight to select the best candidates.
He quickly realized he could improve his recruitment process in the following ways:
- Quickly create role-specific assessments
- Test both technical skills and aptitudes
- Monitor results in real time
- Manage large numbers of applicants at once

Ultimately, Testlify's assessments helped Arch Advisory Group:
- Accurately test candidates' skills and aptitudes
