We also equip customers with PPC Listenr to monitor talent, ensuring ongoing quality control. This continuous evaluation ensures only the highest standards of professionalism on the platform.

All talent has completed our mandatory verification (KYC and background checks). Then, verified talent can take Advanced Assessments, which include specific skills assessments. Clients can view each candidate’s skill grades on their profile. Advanced-assessed talent has demonstrated skills through rigorous testing, making them a reliable choice for more complex or specialised projects. They are more likely to meet your project’s technical needs, often leading to faster hiring decisions due to their proven capabilities.

Completing the Advanced Skills Assessments increases your visibility to businesses looking for verified professionals. Verified talent often gets hired faster and has a better chance of securing higher-paying projects because clients trust verified skills. This distinction highlights your expertise and builds credibility on the platform.

Beyond the initial verification process, ClickTrain uses tools like PPC Listenr to monitor talent’s ongoing performance. We also gather feedback from clients and conduct periodic reviews to ensure the professionals on our platform continue to meet high standards.
