Send the Skills Audit (21st-century skills) from Bullhorn in 12 minutes
Inside Bullhorn, Skills Audit identifies candidates ready for modern-stack placements and helps agencies advise clients on capability availability. Bullhorn agencies use the 12-domain Skills Audit (AI literacy, analytical thinking, learning agility, etc.) to surface candidate capability in high-demand skill areas and identify skill gaps that may affect placement success. AI literacy is the rising differentiator in 2026 technical staffing; Bullhorn agencies use AI-literacy scores to identify candidates ready for modern-cloud and AI-tooling-heavy roles. The 12-minute completion is acceptable for specialized technical placements.

Sample score envelope
Generated by the same normalizer that serves your Bullhorn webhook, so the field names and types below are the ones you will parse. The candidate and the answers are a worked example; the numbers are illustrative, not a benchmark.
dimensions[].score is 0–100 within this test’s own scale. It is safe to rank candidates on one dimension of one test, and it is not a percentile unless metadata.score_metric says so — today only Big Five publishes percentiles, against norms whose sample size and pull date travel in the same envelope. Scores from two different tests are not comparable to each other.
