NEOGOV, amplified by intelligent candidate screening

Cangrade’s assessments measure only job-relevant traits validated against actual role performance data. Every applicant to a given role goes through the same screening process — the same tool, the same criteria, applied consistently. Adverse impact testing is conducted across all EEOC-protected groups, with documentation available for agencies facing civil service challenges, consent decree reviews, or public records requests. Because every candidate score includes a full explanation of how it was calculated, hiring decisions made using Cangrade are transparent, auditable, and explainable to any reviewing body.

Cangrade’s assessments have no statistically significant adverse impact on any demographic group, a standard that exceeds federal EEOC requirements. This is achieved through our patented bias removal process, which tests every model before deployment and eliminates any element showing adverse impact. For agencies subject to regulatory review, consent decrees, or equal employment opportunity audits, Cangrade provides validation documentation covering adverse impact test results, the groups tested, the methodology used, and the statistical basis for each model.

For recruiters, nothing about how you use NEOGOV changes. Candidates continue to apply through your existing process. Once an application is submitted for an Exam Plan, Cangrade automatically screens the candidate against your role requirements and returns a ranked list with detailed scoring explanations directly into NEOGOV candidate profiles. Recruiters open NEOGOV to find candidates already ranked by fit, with clear explanations for every score. No new platform to log into, no manual data transfer, no disruption to existing workflows.

Cangrade is SOC 2 and GDPR compliant. The only personally identifiable information Cangrade collects is name and email address — nothing beyond what is necessary to run the assessment. Candidate data is never shared with third parties, and individuals can request full disclosure or deletion of their personal data at any time. Cangrade’s AI Copilot, Jules, operates without candidate identifying information, ensuring no personal inferences are made during talent management workflows. For government agencies with specific data residency, records retention, or security review requirements, Cangrade’s team can provide detailed security documentation and work directly with your IT and compliance contacts.

For recruiters, the day-to-day experience in NEOGOV stays the same. Candidates still apply the same way, and results appear directly in NEOGOV profiles. What changes is the quality and speed of the information waiting for you. Instead of manually reviewing every application, Cangrade instantly scores and ranks candidates the moment they apply, surfacing who is most likely to succeed in the role before a human has read a single resume. For HR directors, the bigger change is defensibility. Every hiring decision is backed by validated, documented, bias-free data rather than subjective review.
