Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

tapMERiT is a hiring platform that helps companies hire based on proof, not perception.

tapMERiT anonymizes the top of your hiring funnel. Demographic information, such as gender, age, and background, is hidden so your team focuses the assessment on skills and outcomes.

The result: better hires, lower turnover, and teams that outperform competitors by up to 35%.

tapMERiT is ideal for companies that want to attract top talent and increase profitability through smarter hiring systems.

Founders, HR leaders, recruiters, and team leaders who care about results and reputation should use tapMERiT for hiring.

A single bad hire can cost up to 30% of an employee’s first-year salary, and replacing them can cost up to twice that.

Companies with operational processes to identify and hire top talent, based on merit (regardless of who they are), are 36% more profitable and 33% more innovative.

tapMERiT users typically see measurable improvements in three areas:

• Higher-quality hires
• Faster hiring
• Performance lift
• Increased employee retention

No, it makes it more honest. tapMERiT's goal is not to dehumanize hiring but to de-bias it.

You still meet the people behind the work just later in the process, when proof has already paved the way for you to meet them.

DEI software tracks diversity representation; tapMERiT grows profit through diverse teams.

tapMERiT helps you build authentically diverse, high-performing teams where blind hiring directly improves your bottom line.

Using our approach, everyone knows that individual merit creates opportunity.

Not in the gimmicky sense. We use data and design, not bias-trained algorithms, to help humans make better decisions.

AI in hiring has often automated discrimination; we engineered the opposite.

Yes, at first. The blind review phase hides your personal information so hiring teams evaluate you solely on your work and results.

Once you successfully complete the first interview, your full profile is revealed.

No. It means you stand out for the right reasons. tapMERiT lets your results speak louder than your résumé design, school name, or photo. It’s the fairest shot you’ll ever get!

We remove identifying factors that often trigger unconscious and conscious bias, such as name, photo, gender, age, and school.

Hiding this information ensures evaluators see your work, not your demographics. This levels the playing field.

Companies will not know who you are during the screening phase. This way, first impressions come from your work, not your appearance, or assumptions about who you are.

Companies that use tapMERiT are organizations that value:

• Building high-performing teams
• Evidence-based hiring
• Data
• Results
• Maximum profits
• Hiring the best based on merit, not the most familiar
• Fairness

No. tapMERiT is free for candidates. Our mission is to make hiring based on merit, not to gatekeep.
