Who We Are & What We Believe
It doesn’t matter where you are from or what you look like, it matters what you can do. This is the organizing principle that drove us to create MeritFirst. We are done with resumes, who you know shouldn’t matter. There is no signal in it, especially not anymore.
So how do you prove what you can do as an applicant? How do you know who can do what as an organization?
The answer is Testing.
Modern, simple, elegant, effective Testing.
This is what we have built with MeritFirst.
We use the best in modern technology and AI tools so that you can easily make highly engaging, highly effective tests, deliver those tests with confidence to the right people, make sure no one is cheating, and evaluate candidate responses.
We built MeritFirst for ourselves. We need this to find the right people in 2024 for our companies and funds. We would be thrilled if you would use it too…
