The Problem You’re Facing

 

You’ve been here before…

❌ Traditional Method

Traditional Recruitment Challenges

  • Sift through 50+ applications from Year 12 graduates who all look identical on paper
  • Spend hours interviewing candidates who sound good but lack basic skills
  • Hire someone who “seemed great” only to discover they can’t handle simple workplace tasks
  • Waste weeks training fundamentals that should have been proven before hire
  • Watch them quit after 3 months, starting the expensive cycle again
The real cost of a bad graduate hire:
$20,000-$35,000

in lost productivity, training, and rehiring costs

FAQ

Exemplar Performance Advantage has been conducting workplace assessments since 1981. The numeracy and communication tests are designed by business professionals (not educators) and reflect real workplace tasks. Scores are independently verified and cannot be manipulated.

That’s the point of the $189 enquiry fee—it ensures serious interest on both sides. Candidates control who they respond to, which means when they do respond, they’re genuinely interested in your opportunity.

The fee is charged upon hire. We offer a 90-day guarantee: if the employee leaves or is terminated within 90 days for skills-related reasons, we’ll provide 3 months of free Professional membership or credit toward another hire (terms apply).

Yes! All membership tiers include job posting capability. Candidates can apply directly, and you can also proactively search and contact candidates.

No. You can search and review preview profiles (skills scores, general location, availability) anonymously. Candidates are only notified when you pay $189 to access their full profile and contact them.

Monthly memberships can be cancelled anytime (no refunds for partial months). Annual memberships can be cancelled within 30 days for full refund minus any enquiry fees used.

Immediately upon membership activation. Your account is approved within 24 hours (business verification), then you have instant access to search all verified candidates.

No. Membership + enquiry fees ($189 per candidate contacted) + hire fee ($3,950 per successful hire). That’s it. No listing fees, no application fees, no surprise charges.
