What Berke does

Berke is a US-based pre-employment assessment company, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Atlanta, that delivers data-driven tools for predicting candidate hiring success. Its product surface is now organized within the HighMatch platform, where "Berke Assessment" is explicitly positioned as a small-business solution and the broader portfolio serves hiring teams screening, assessing, interviewing, and developing candidates across the talent funnel. The company serves a broad customer base spanning twelve industries (Banking, Construction, Elder Care, Healthcare, Hospitality, Insurance, Logistics, Manufacturing, Property Management, Restaurants, Retail, Utilities) and four role tiers (Hourly, Salaried, Manager, Executive), with ten specialized assessment modules covering Personality, Aptitude, Culture Fit, Emotional Intelligence, Realistic Job Preview, Minimum Qualifications, Interview, Executive, Hard Skills, and Situational Judgement.

The underlying platform is built on industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology expertise combined with adaptive AI that processes structured candidate response data and benchmarks results against top-performer profiles validated against on-the-job performance data. The product integrates natively with thirteen major ATS and HRIS systems (ADP, Greenhouse, ICIMS, JazzHR, Jobvite, Lever, Oracle, Paycor, Paylocity, SAP, Taleo, UKG, Workday), allowing assessments to be embedded inside incumbent recruiting workflows. Use cases span candidate screening, in-depth assessment, structured interviewing, talent management, and fully personalized assessment design.

The business model is a B2B SaaS assessment platform with tiered packaging by industry, role level, and specific job function, plus a dedicated small-business tier (Berke Assessment). The firm operates with 11-50 employees, runs a published partner/reseller program to extend distribution, and offers a publicly accessible ROI calculator and case study library as part of its commercial motion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue, funding, or ownership data is available in the source material.
