⏳ Hire The Right Candidates, Half The Time Woven helps your team get a strong signal on real-world technical skills so you can confidently and quickly make hiring decisions. Streamline your technical vetting by testing for skills like code review, debugging systems, collaboration and programming. 🛠️ Build Assessments Calibrated To your Senior-Level Roles Basic programming isn’t enough to be a great fit for the team. Instead of building a take-home project or doing technical interviews why not answer a few questions about the role and build your assessment in minutes? Select from scenarios that cover skills like code review, system design, debugging systems and technical collaboration. Each assessment is benchmarked against industry pay bands or your current team. 🤩 Keep Your Top Candidates Engaged Experienced engineers balk at contrived code quizzes. Reduce candidate dropouts and improve pass rates for final interviews by creating an engaging candidate experience. With engaging real-world scenarios completed in a short, timeboxed session candidates are able to put their best foot forward to show case their skills. Every candidate gets detailed technical feedback on their work. 📊 Increase Bandwidth, Maintain Your Hiring Bar Engineering teams don’t have the bandwidth to sit through hours of failed technical interviews. With Woven, you get a detailed analysis of each candidate’s technical strengths and weaknesses. Use the results to identify which candidates are most likely to be a strong technical fit and pass subsequent interviews. The work is double-blind scored by two certified engineers using a detailed rubric to ensure consistency. Every assessment goes through Woven’s Async Proctoring to detect any plagiarism or use of ChatGPT.

Hows Mom, powered by SafeKeeping, is a customer service platform that transforms how Senior Living communicates care. Our mission is to increase quality of care to drive the best outcomes for residents. The Communications Gap: We understand. You’re being asked to do more with less. Providers have relied on nurses to communicate care over the phone for 50+ years. With staffing challenges, regulatory requirements, and increasing customer expectations the way Senior Care communicates is no longer suited for a world that exists. Traditional communication methods are difficult to manage because of the lack of visibility. Residents and families want to communicate with their care providers the same way that they communicate in their everyday lives. Information readily available at their fingertips and to conveniently text and email. The Solution: Our platform bridges the communication gap by assuring the right person receives the right information at the right time. We help providers to manage communications across Residents, Staff, and Families. With configurable workflows integrated into your EHR, easily automate and manage communications, saving nurse time and enhancing quality of care in all settings. Our Approach: we create internal communication committees within our Senior Care partners to identify communications that can be automated to help drive a higher quality of care: Operational Efficiencies: Give time back to resident care Compliance: Easily meet regulatory requirements reducing tags and deficiencies QAPI: Deliver customer service insights Risk Mitigation: Reduce the severity and frequency of claims
