With the Pera Digital Interview a candidate only answers three open-ended questions. No games. No time pressure. The candidate simply expresses themselves in three short paragraphs. Pera analyzes the answers to assess candidates for a wide variety of jobs and soft skills.
Pera's integration with Greenhouse Recruiting allows you to seamlessly add Pera's assessment to a job's interview plan.

In the Pera platform, navigate to Settings > Integrations
