Public-sector hiring must be fair, defensible, and compliant.

Public-sector hiring must be fair, defensible, and compliant. Prelim brings audit-ready, accessible assessment to government roles — with deployment options that meet strict data requirements.

The hiring problem

Public-sector hiring has to be fair and provably so.

Government hiring operates under a higher bar for defensibility than most private-sector hiring ever faces — decisions can be appealed, and the process itself gets scrutinized. Prelim's structured, evidence-linked scoring gives agencies a process that holds up: every candidate assessed against the same published rubric, with deployment options that satisfy strict data-residency and accessibility requirements.

  • Fair, defensible scoring
  • Policy & analytical reasoning
  • Accessibility compliance
  • Encrypted, isolated candidate data

Challenge

FAQ

Questions teams ask us.

Can Prelim meet strict data-residency requirements?+

Prelim runs in our secure cloud, with candidate data encrypted in transit and at rest and isolated per organization. For stricter boundaries, VPC or on-prem deployment is available on request for Enterprise.

Are assessments accessible under Section 508 and similar standards?+

Yes. Accessibility — screen-reader support, extended time, and accommodations — is built in by default, not a special request.

How does Prelim support hiring processes that can be legally challenged?+

Every score is evidence-linked and exportable, giving you a documented, defensible record for any appeal or audit.
