What Does Expert Vetted Mean?

An expert-vetted individual or service has been carefully reviewed and endorsed by knowledgeable professionals, confirming their exceptional skills and credentials.

Therefore, expert-vetting is the process of thoroughly evaluating and approving talent by authorities or specialists in a particular field, ensuring high levels of expertise, quality, and trustworthiness.

Think of it as a “seal of approval” from trusted experts, giving you confidence in the person or services’ abilities.

How Does Expert Vetting Happen?

At RocketDevs, getting expert-vetted talent happens in such an intriguing way. Here’s how our process of onboarding expert-vetted talent works:

1. Resume Filtering with Resumatic
2. Coding Assessment
3. Project Assessment
4. Communication Interview
5. Cultural Fit Assessments

Now, let’s discuss each process of getting expert-vetted talent.

1. Resume Filtering with ResuMatic

ResuMatic is our AI-powered assistant in recruitment that is revolutionizing the way companies screen resumes with AI-powered solutions.

How does ResuMatic work?

Bias Free Hiring

First, ResuMatic takes out unconscious bias in hiring, which is something that is common with manual screening. It ensures everyone gets a fair chance at getting hired. It hides personal information to focus solely on skills and experience. This involves using data-driven, pre-defined criteria to evaluate candidates, reducing subjective opinions that could prevent candidates based on their race, ethnicity or gender.

It conducts AI-driven scoring by employing algorithms to score candidates based on skills, experience, and qualifications, minimizing human bias.

ResuMatic is also trained on diverse datasets to recognize and ignore biased patterns, focusing on relevant skills and experience, rather than personal characteristics. It then applies the same evaluation criteria to all candidates, ensuring a level playing field for all the candidates.

Intuitive Use of Natural Language

Next, ResuMatic uses natural language to understand job requirements and match them with candidate resumes. Here’s how it works:

• You write a job description in simple language, like “We need a software developer with 5 years of experience in Java and Python.”
• ResuMatic reads and understands the job requirements, identifying key skills and qualifications.
• It then sorts through resumes, looking for matches with the job requirements.
• ResuMatic ranks candidates based on their skills, experience, and other qualifications.

Example:
Job description: “Seeking a software developer with 5+ years of experience in Java and Python”

ResuMatic analyzes the job description and identifies key requirements:

• Software developer
• 5+ years of experience
• Java
• Python

It then searches resumes, finds a match, and ranks the candidate based on their relevant experience and skills.

ResuMatic’s intuitive use of natural language makes it easy to find the best expert-vetted talent for the job, saving time and reducing bias in the hiring process.

Fast and Efficient

ResuMatic is a game-changer when it comes to processing resumes. It’s incredibly fast and efficient, able to process hundreds of resumes in just minutes and deliver instant results, so you can make quicker hiring decisions.

How does it do it? ResuMatic uses advanced technology to quickly scan and analyze resumes, identifying top candidates that match your job requirements. It’s like having a super-speedy, super-smart recruiter on your team!

With ResuMatic, you can say goodbye to manual resume screening, which takes hours or even days and sorting through irrelevant candidates, wasting valuable time.

ResuMatic’s speed and efficiency make it an essential tool for any hiring team. It saves time, reduces effort, and helps you find the best candidates quickly. Try it out and see the difference for yourself!

Seamless Integration and Compatibility

ResuMatic easily integrates with popular ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and HR platforms, making it a seamless addition to your existing recruitment tools. This means you can connect ResuMatic to your favorite platforms like Greenhouse, Workable, Lever, Jobvite, JazzHR, Bullhorn, Taleo and more.

2. Coding Assessment

The second step in getting our expert-vetted talent is the use of coding assessments. RocketDevs’ pre-vetting process for developers includes a thorough coding assessment that lasts 2-3 hours. This in-depth evaluation allows us to:

• See how well the candidate can write clean, efficient, and effective code
• Assess their problem-solving skills and ability to think critically
• Evaluate their programming skills in a real-world setting

Practical Example:

Let’s say we’re vetting a Python developer. The candidate is given a challenge to build a simple web scraper using Python. They have 2 hours to complete the task.

During the assessment, RocketDevs observes how they:

• Write clean, readable code
• Handle errors and exceptions
• Optimize their code for performance
• Think critically to solve problems that arise during the challenge

After the assessment, RocketDevs reviews their code and evaluates their performance. This hands-on evaluation gives you a clear picture of the candidate’s technical skills and ability to program competently, allowing us to make informed decisions about onboarding our expert-vetted talent.

It’s like a “trial run” for the candidate, demonstrating their skills in a real-world setting, and helping you find the best fit for your development team.

3. Project Assessments

RocketDevs’ pre-vetting process for developers includes a project assessment that mimics real-world scenarios, testing candidates’ practical skills. This evaluation is designed to:

• Simulate actual project work
• Challenge candidates to apply their skills to real-world problems
• Showcase their ability to think critically and solve complex issues

Practical Example:

To get our expert-vetted talent, we’re pre-vetting a full-stack developer and have given him a project such as building an e-commerce platform. The candidate is given a project assessment to:

• Build a simple shopping cart feature using React, Node.js, and MongoDB
• Implement user authentication and authorization
• Ensure responsive design and mobile-friendliness

The candidate has 3-4 hours to complete the project. During this time, they must:

• Design and implement the feature from scratch
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code
• Troubleshoot and debug their implementation

This project assessment simulates a real-world scenario, allowing us to evaluate the candidate’s practical skills, such as problem-solving and critical thinking, coding skills and best practices and attention to detail and debugging abilities.

Through assessing their work on a realistic project, we get a clear picture of the candidate’s ability to deliver high-quality solutions in a real-world setting.

4. Communication Interview

RocketDevs’ pre-vetting process for developers includes a communication interview that assesses more than just English proficiency. It evaluates the ability to:

• Articulate ideas clearly: Can the developer explain complex technical concepts in a simple, understandable way?
• Lead with confidence: Can he/she communicate their thoughts and ideas with assertiveness and self-assurance?
• Collaborate effectively: Can the developer express themselves in a way that promotes teamwork and mutual understanding?

The interview aims to ensure that developers can effectively communicate technical ideas to non-technical team members, lead projects and guide others with clarity and confidence and collaborate seamlessly with colleagues and clients.

RocketDevs ensures that their developers can not only write great code but also communicate and collaborate effectively, making them a valuable asset to teams and projects. This is one of the best ways we get our expert-vetted talent.

5. Cultural Fit Assessments

RocketDevs ensures that developers are a good cultural fit for an organization by assessing their soft skills, which include:

• Communication skills
• Teamwork and collaboration
• Adaptability and flexibility
• Problem-solving and conflict resolution
• Emotional intelligence and empathy

This helps us understand how well a developer will work with the team and communicate effectively, adapt to the company culture and values, handle conflicts and challenges, and align with the organization’s mission and vision.

This also goes to show that a very important factor in choosing expert-vetted talent is how equally good they are at soft skills as much as the technical ones.
