Candidate FAQ

Suited is a recruiting platform that is powered by artificial intelligence. For candidates, it takes the form of an assessment that provides professional services firms with insights into how you are predicted to perform as a potential employee. We are currently serving the investment banking and legal industries.

Suited is also a place for candidates to discover information related to the professional services industry.

Suited is not a recruiting firm and does not operate as a headhunter, however. We do not guarantee interviews or jobs to our candidates. We allow companies who are interested in diversifying their candidate pools to see your profile, which offers a more in-depth view of who you are as a candidate and potential coworker.

Suited is absolutely free for candidates.

Yes! So long as you are interested in finance and investment banking, we encourage candidates with all majors to complete a profile.

Pursuing or possessing a JD degree is a requirement of the legal recruiting platform.

Firms will only reach out to you if they are interested in pursuing you as a candidate.

For Investment Banking, If you are an undergraduate applying to Summer Analyst positions, firms will reach out as early as the Spring of your sophomore year and through the Fall of your Junior year. If you are eligible for diversity programs, firms may start reaching out to you as early as February of your sophomore year. If you are an MBA student, firms will most likely reach out to you in January of the first year of your MBA program.

For Law, candidates applying for Associate jobs will be interviewed in January/February for roles to be filled in the summer.

Suited rigorously tests all of our A.I. models to ensure they do not cause any adverse impact against any protected group. We will never deploy a model that does not meet the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission technical guidelines. If you would like to learn more about how we remove bias from our A.I., please see this in-depth blog post here.

Each candidate completes the Suited Psychometric and Essential Competencies assessments. These assessments measure abilities necessary to performing the role for which you are applying, such as attention to detail and critical reasoning, as well as your personality and value traits to determine your fit within a firm's culture and working style.

Together, the assessments should take no more than 30 minutes to complete.

No, we do not share your unique responses with firms. Instead, your responses are aggregated and scored against a firm-specific hiring model. We share what our A.I. determines to be the four most meaningful traits about you, so that firms can get a more holistic understanding of who you are.

You are welcome to add any new resume-type information to your Suited profile anytime! Any updates will automatically be available for any partners that view your profile.

If you wish to change the email address associated with your account, please navigate to the settings page (https://app.wellsuited.com/home/user-settings) and follow the link to change your email address.

If you were invited to Suited directly from a firm, you are only visible to that firm. However, if you want to be seen by multiple firms at once, you do not need to complete another profile. Instead, you can simply change your user settings to Public. If you are referred by a second firm, you are able to log in with your previous account and have your information automatically shared with the second referring firm.

Please email support@wellsuited.com.

Be sure to use the same email address you created your Suited profile to apply to that particular job.

To check that the firms you are hoping to share scores with can see your results, follow the steps below:

‍

Make sure all check marks are filled in with white for all six sections of your profile (Education, Demographic Information, Work Preferences, Psychometric Assessment, Essential Competencies Assessment, Resume). Once all 6 checkmarks are filled in, your profile is complete.

Once your profile is complete, you can click on the Envelope emblem to see your pending invitations as well as check on your established connections. This emblem is found in the top right portion of your candidate page. If you have a pending invitation to connect with a firm who you would like to see your results, accept their invitation to connect. Toggle to connections tab and any firms who are showing as a connection can view your scores.
