Intro to Crayon
hire right, first time
Crayon reinvents the recruitment journey by introducing personality and trait profiling upfront to match roles to the best-suited candidates.
We aim to reduce hiring mistakes via a standardised, transparent process that informs both the employer and candidate in a data-rich, yet fun, way.

WHO WE
ARE
Crayon is an online technology platform making use of upfront personality profiling to identify (but not exclude) candidates best-suited to specific roles.
The concept arose out of a need to redefine the traditional recruitment process in South Africa. The current status quo of exorbitant commissions, multiple CV formats, and hires that go rogue is a thing of the past.
Crayon's platform allows for quick assimilation of candidate data and therefore instant filtering in search of your ideal employee. With close to 100 candidates signing up each day, Crayon aims to become not necessarily the biggest, but the most informative and data-rich jobs platform in South Africa.

Know Your Candidate!
To be eligible for shortlisting, all candidates must take an extensive online personality assessment. From the results we ascertain how they are likely to behave in the workplace, their strengths and weaknesses, and what motivates them. Each candidate is assigned a primary and secondary personality, a Crayon Grit Score and 5 traits, measured across 40 trait scales.

RECRUITMENT PLATFORM THAT IS FUN TO WORK ON
SOREA
EASILY ACCESSIBLE
"Just a quick note to say that I love the look of your website. It is unique and imaginative and the fact that you get your testing done online in such a simple way is wonderful. I was sent an email by a recruiter with a 38-page document to fill in, by hand, and then fax back to them. Now, I don't mind filling documents in, however technology has changed and it is much more efficient to be able to do testing on an online platform, or even on a PDF form to email back, than to write it out by hand and then fax it back. Thank you for putting the effort into creating a recruitment platform that is easily accessible and fun to work on." ~ Sorea

YOUR RECRUITMENT STRATEGY IS DOPE
"Your recruitment strategy is dope - such an interesting concept. I'm a big fan of the MBTI test and feel that character and culture fit is often overlooked. I really enjoyed doing the MCQ's; so much of fun. The layout makes me smile too. Keep at the good stuff. " ~ Roberta

HOW
WE OPERATE
In addition to personality and trait profiling, we match candidates to roles via our extensive database of pre-defined criteria including qualifications, skills, tools, experience, etc.
We screen and present a carefully curated shortlist, you indicate who you'd liked interviewed by Crayon, and we then have a recorded chat with these humans.
When we're good to go, you'll receive the following:
- Recorded Zoom interviews
- Standardised Crayon vitaes
- Traditional CVs
- Personality assessment including sample interview questions
- Crayon Cam - candidate 30-second self-recording (when available)
- Why we'd hire this candidate
You tell us what you want, we find it.
THE WORK
2019... 10 000 candidates
2020... 50 000 candidates
Feb 2018... launch
Now... 100 000 candidates
Crayon does not discriminate on the basis of the candidate's personality assessment, instead we use the results as an additional layer of information to inform the hiring decision.

"the concept of grit — an indicator of perseverance and passion, applied for a prolonged period of time in order to achieve a set goal while overcoming obstacles and challenges along the way."

GRIT SCALE
Crayon's Grit Score offers the ability to measure each candidate on a scale between 1 and 99, using an aggregate of 11 traits that provide an indicator of grit, doggedness and the willingness to persevere in the face of adversity.
SA'S FIRST GRIT SCORE INDEX
baseline profiling
We use the results of the personality assessments to establish the personality and traits that resemble your current rock stars. We handle all the admin, you tell us who to use to form the baseline for each role.
Great as a team-build exercise!
Importantly, staff do not sign-up with Crayon and therefore bypass the online platform.
R9 950 for teams of up to 20 staff.
Two reasons to consider a baseline profiling assessment:
1 - Get to know your existing team better
2 - Identify what exactly it is that your business needs in a new recruit
