Rocket School - Customer Case Study

Rocket School, a digital talent school, needed a faster, more effective way to handle a high volume of applications and identify candidates with the right soft skills for its programs. The school used AssessFirst, integrated with its Recruitee ATS, to move beyond CV-based screening and make skill-based hiring decisions.

With AssessFirst, Rocket School automated pre-selection, assessed behavioral traits such as perseverance, persuasiveness, and resilience, and redirected candidates toward the most suitable career paths. The result was a more structured recruitment process, improved candidate experience, and measurable impact including 75% time savings and 60% more diversity.
