EARLY CAREER HIRING CHALLENGE

Why Traditional Hiring Fails Early Career Talent

Companies waste resources, make poor matches, and face high turnover when using conventional methods.

Application Overload

Traditional platforms like Handshake & LinkedIn flood you with hundreds of similar resumes, creating an overwhelming screening process.

The Resume Guessing Game

Early career candidates have limited work history, making traditional resume screening ineffective at predicting actual skills, potential, and cultural alignment.

A Costly Churn Cycle

Committing to a full-time hire without seeing them in a real-world environment leads to costly mismatches and turnover, with the average wrong hire costing companies $15,000+ per employee.

What types of companies use Runway?

How does Runway's AI talent ranking work?

Our AI talent ranking system evaluates candidates based on the specific skills and qualities you're looking for, not just keywords on a resume. The system analyzes applications holistically, considering factors like project experience, demonstrated skills, and potential cultural fit to rank candidates according to your actual needs.

What's the benefit of a trial period before hiring?

Trial periods allow you to evaluate candidates based on actual performance rather than interview impressions. This reduces hiring risk, improves retention, and ensures better long-term fits. Our talent evaluation platform makes these trial periods easy to manage while providing valuable performance data.

How does Runway handle payroll and compliance during trial periods?

Runway manages all administrative aspects of the trial period, including payroll processing, tax compliance, worker's compensation, and liability coverage. This allows you to focus on evaluating talent while we handle the paperwork.

Can I convert trial candidates to full-time employees?

Absolutely! Our platform includes a streamlined conversion process to transition your top performers from trial periods to full-time roles once you're confident in their fit and abilities.

What industries does Runway support?

Runway supports early career hiring across numerous industries, with particular strength in technology, engineering, marketing, design, business operations, and data science roles. Our platform is adaptable to various professional environments where skills-based assessment is valuable.
