Reducing Time-to-Hire: 5 Reasons to Use VET IT in Recruiting

Hiring in the tech industry isn’t what it used to be. From candidates embellishing resumes to hiring managers misrepresenting roles—and even poorly configured AI candidate screening tools—the challenges to finding the right fit are growing every day. Recognizing this problem firsthand, Information Consulting Services (ICS) took action. To address the growing gaps and deceptive practices in the hiring process, we developed VET IT: an innovative platform to restore the integrity, efficiency, and accuracy in the recruiting and candidate screening process.

VET IT wasn’t created as a theoretical tool—it was born out of ICS’s experience with the frustrations of mismatched hires and inefficient hiring cycles. We’ve created a platform that transforms hiring in the IT industry. VET IT is a two-sided marketplace that connects companies with experienced IT experts (known as “VXperts”) who conduct live, unbiased assessments with potential candidates. ICS uses VET IT to streamline the hiring process with intelligent-based tools and expert-driven evaluations. Here are five ways our program can help you improve your hit rate and the quality of your candidates. 

1. Access to a Network of Verified Experts

In the recruiting process, precision matters, especially in the IT domain. When it comes to technical roles, finding candidates with the expertise your company is looking for is no small feat. VET IT offers access to a network of VXperts—seasoned professionals who bring real-world experience to every interview. These experts, vetted through a rigorous internal screening process, act as an extension of your hiring team. Paired with ICS’s proven staffing solutions, we do everything we can to ensure candidates are evaluated by someone who truly understands the role’s requirements. 

2. Unbiased, Objective Candidate Assessments

Traditional hiring methods leave room for bias or technical gaps, especially when interviewers aren’t experts in the field. VET IT eliminates this issue by providing unbiased, expert-led assessments. VXperts focus solely on evaluating technical skills and role alignment, giving hiring managers the tools to make the final choice. Each interview concludes with a comprehensive scorecard that provides actionable insights into a candidate’s performance.

This transparency empowers hiring managers to focus on the most qualified candidates without worrying about gaps in technical knowledge or unconscious bias. It elevates hiring decisions and ensures alignment between candidates and the job.

3. Making the Interview Process More Efficient for the Client

Long hiring timelines are a drain on resources—and patience. That’s why VET IT’s live, on-demand interview model is so important. Candidates are matched with a VXpert who is experienced in the specific skillset being targeted for assessment. By removing bottlenecks and automating parts of the process with innovative staffing tools, we help you speed up hiring decisions while keeping every evaluation comprehensive and personalized.

4. Reduced Administrative Burden for the Client

Have you ever gotten into the interview process only to realize your candidate had misrepresented their skillset? VET IT eliminates this headache by ensuring candidates are pre-screened and evaluated before their resume reaches your hiring team. VET IT connects candidates with VXperts, who conduct in-depth, live assessments for the role.

We simplify the hiring process by matching candidates to jobs based on relevant skills and availability. VET IT handles the logistics for you by taking charge of the vetting, scheduling, coordinating, and initial assessment of candidates. Hiring managers are left with a highly curated pool of candidates, allowing them to focus on finding the right person for the role.

5. Access to a Curated Talent Pool

Hiring isn’t just about getting bodies in the door—it’s about finding the right people for the right roles. One of the biggest frustrations in hiring is sifting through unqualified applications and sorting out the really qualified individuals from those pretending to be qualified. VET IT’s two-sided marketplace solves this by refining your talent pool, ensuring only top-tier candidates make it to the evaluation stage. Paired with ICS’s deep industry insights, VET IT helps your organization save time and resources by delivering a curated shortlist of candidates ready to contribute from day one.
