Canditech

Canditech is a Tel Aviv-based provider of a pre-employment skill assessment platform built around tailor-made job simulations. The platform lets employers evaluate technical abilities (such as coding, SQL and Excel work), soft skills, cognitive ability and personality traits in a single workflow that combines skill assessments, one-way video interviews and pre-screening chatbots delivered over WhatsApp or SMS. Employers can select from a library of more than 500 expert-made tests, customize existing tests, import their own assessments, or generate role-specific assessments automatically by uploading a job description to an AI assessment builder.

The product includes AI auto-scoring using pre-trained or customer-built scoring agents, AI proficiency tests for both technical and non-technical roles, and anti-cheating controls that flag anomalies such as ChatGPT usage, copy-paste, tab switching and use of multiple devices. Additional technology components described by the company include ongoing test optimization based on collected response data and job-success prediction models that relate assessment data points to performance reviews of hired employees. Assessments are customizable in questions, scoring, timing and branding, and the platform integrates with more than 40 applicant tracking systems so assessments can be sent, scored and used to advance candidates from within the ATS. Customers are supported by dedicated account managers, a PhD-level psychometrics team and candidate-facing technical support.

Founding story

Founded in 2019 by a group of hiring managers and technology specialists frustrated with the bias and limitations of resume-based screening, with the stated vision of "a world without resumes" in which candidates are evaluated on demonstrated skills and potential. Press coverage of the seed round names Guy Barel, Knaan Braz and Nir Dovrat as co-founders, with Barel as CEO and Dovrat as President and CTO.
