At a glance

Our vetting methodology at a glance

Hiring is a data matching problem. A résumé tells you where someone has worked, but not how well they write, how they reason through a problem or whether they can communicate clearly with a distributed team. That is why Simera does not rely on résumé keywords.

Every candidate we present is evaluated on evidence: verified skills assessments, real work samples and structured video interviews that are scored by AI and reviewed by our team. Our AI analyzes thousands of data points to rank candidates against the requirements of each role, and our network of more than 1M vetted professionals is continuously refreshed with new data on skills and availability.

The result is a curated shortlist of candidates who have already shown they can do the work, presented with scores, summaries, videos and work history you can compare side by side.

The same methodology applies to every remote role we fill, from engineering and IT to sales, marketing, operations, customer support and administration, and to every region we hire from, including LATAM, MENA and beyond.

The process

The vetting steps

Every candidate moves through the same structured path before they reach your inbox. Each step produces data, and that data is what our platform uses to score, rank and match professionals to your role.

Why does this matter? Structured vetting front-loads the evaluation, so your first round of interviews is effectively done before you start. You spend your time on the few candidates who fit, decide on evidence instead of instinct, and reduce the risk of a costly mis-hire.

01

Skills assessments and work samples

Candidates prove their ability with verified skills assessments and real work samples relevant to their role, so we measure what they can do rather than what they claim on paper.

02

Smart Interviews

Candidates answer structured, job-specific video prompts. AI scores each response for clarity, relevance and English fluency and generates a summary you can review in minutes.

03

Expert human vetting and ranking

Our team reviews every candidate before they reach you. Our unique scoring and ranking system then matches the strongest profiles to your requirements.

Evaluation criteria

What every profile is evaluated on

Verified skills assessments

Role-relevant assessments measure real ability. Scores become part of the candidate's profile, so you can see how they performed before you ever schedule a call.

Real work samples

Work samples show the quality of a candidate's output in practice, from code to campaigns to documentation, giving you concrete evidence instead of claims.

AI-scored video interviews

Smart Interviews use tailored, job-specific questions. Responses are scored and summarized so you get a decision-ready view with no calendar coordination.

English and communication

Each interview response is assessed for clarity, relevance and English fluency, the signals that predict how well someone will work in a remote, distributed team.

Work history and reliability

Experience and work history are reviewed alongside skills data, so you understand the context behind each score and the environments the candidate has thrived in.

Unique scoring and ranking

All of these signals feed our scoring and ranking system, which delivers a curated shortlist of pre-vetted professionals ready for immediate hiring.

Why vetting matters

A wrong hire costs time, money and momentum.

Evidence-based screening means every candidate you meet has already shown they can do the work.

Our approach

What makes Simera's vetting different

Traditional screening is time consuming, unstructured and hard to scale. Simera flips the process: every candidate goes through the same structured steps, every response is scored the same way, and every profile carries the same kinds of evidence, so comparisons are fair and fast.

Powered by AI, perfected by humans

Agent David scans, matches, interviews and scores at speed; then our team reviews every candidate before they reach your inbox.

Evidence over résumés

Candidates are ranked on assessments, work samples and interview scores, not on keywords or job titles.

Consistent for every candidate

Structured, role-specific prompts create a consistent experience across all candidates and make comparisons fair.

Constant data refresh

You keep getting data and insights on current and potential professionals in our network, not a one-time snapshot.

What does a candidate profile include?

Each profile brings together data, videos, scores, work history, skills and assessments, plus AI-generated interview summaries, so you can identify qualified candidates quickly and compare them side by side.

No. AI handles sourcing, matching, interviewing and scoring at speed, and then our team reviews every candidate before they reach your inbox. It is a hybrid approach: powered by AI, perfected by humans.

How do you assess English and communication skills?

Through Smart Interviews. Candidates answer structured, role-specific video prompts, and each response is automatically assessed for clarity, relevance and English fluency, so you can hear and read how they communicate before you meet them.

Can I add my own interviews or tests?

Yes. Our vetting gives you a strong starting point, and you can request any additional data points that help your decision, or schedule a personal interview with your top choices.

What if I need to find a replacement?

The candidate data you have access to is designed to help you choose a great fit. If you ever need to replace someone, simply let us know and you will find options in your account. For details, ask us or refer to your agreement.
