Built for Sales hiring

Don’t ask what they’d do.
Hear what they say.

Candidates answer five voice challenges in under 15 minutes. See how they think on their feet when the script runs out — with unfiltered evidence, verbatim quotes, and clear grading.

You make the call.

Test simulator

The Hostile Brush-Off · Testing Street Smartness

You’re two minutes into a call and the prospect cuts in: “Look, I only took this because my boss told me to. We have zero budget and no need for this.”What do you say next?

Tests whether they freeze or pivot on the fly to understand why their boss flagged the conversation.

Why this grade

Diagnoses the real change (new budget owner) before selling, and proposes a specific, relevant path to the new decision-maker without inventing facts.

Methodology

Why not just do another interview?

Another interview gives the candidate another prepared conversation. GritChecker gives you five consistent spoken situations before you commit more interview time. It does not replace the interview. It changes what the interview is for.

INTERVIEW
Candidate knows they're selling themselves.

GRITCHECKER
Candidate responds to the situation in front of them.

INTERVIEW
Evidence can disappear into interviewer memory and gut feel.

GRITCHECKER
The selected evidence and grade rationale are kept in a Report the manager can reread. Raw recordings and full transcripts follow the 30-day policy.

INTERVIEW
You spend the hour first.

GRITCHECKER
Candidates complete the test before you decide where to spend interview time.

YOU STILL MAKE THE CALL.

Clear about what it is. Clear about what it isn't.

What GritChecker is

  • Five spoken challenges graded against frozen, question-specific criteria.
  • Evidence-backed grades from A+ to F, with N/S when a response can't be defensibly scored.
  • Transcript evidence for every grade. The Tape is delivery context only.

What it isn't

  • Not a hiring decision, ranking or auto-reject. The hiring manager decides.
  • Not a lie detector, personality test or prediction of job performance.
  • Accent, nervousness, speaking speed and polish don't decide the grade.
