You Bring the Mandate. We'll Bring the Assessment Layer.
Most assessment tools are built for in-house HR teams. Recruiters are left to work around them, or to send CVs and hope the client's own process does the rest.
HireQuo starts from a different premise. The agency owns the mandate and the client relationship. HireQuo adds the assessment layer underneath it, so every candidate you shortlist arrives with evidence, and the client still hires through you.
This is the practical version: how it fits into your process, what your client receives, and what it costs to try on your next role.
QUICK ANSWER
HireQuo by QuoDeck adds a pre-hire job simulation layer to a recruitment agency's existing process. The agency shares the client's job description; HireQuo builds a custom, role-specific simulation within 24 hours; shortlisted candidates complete it; and each one comes with a detailed Fitment Report the agency sends alongside the CV. Pricing is Rs 399 per assessed candidate, pay-as-you-go, with no setup or licence fees. HireQuo does not compete with agencies: the agency keeps the mandate and the client.

How it fits into your process
1. Your client sends a hiring requirement, as usual.
2. You share the job description with HireQuo.
3. HireQuo builds a custom, role-specific simulation within 24 hours.
4. Your shortlisted candidates complete the simulation.
5. You send the client an evidence-backed shortlist: each CV accompanied by a detailed Fitment Report.
Nothing about your sourcing, screening or client management changes. The simulation sits between your shortlist and the client's interview: the stage where, today, no one has seen the candidate do the work.
One mandate, start to finish
Here's what the workflow looks like on a typical customer-facing role. A client sends you a requirement for a Sales Executive. You run your usual sourcing and screening, and alongside it you share the job description with HireQuo. Within 24 hours, a custom simulation is ready, built around the situations that define success in that role: pricing conversations, difficult accounts, follow-ups that need persistence.
You send the simulation to the candidates you plan to shortlist. As each one completes it, their Fitment Report becomes available.
When you submit the shortlist, every CV goes with evidence of how that candidate handled the role's situations, and your debrief with the client starts from that evidence.
The client interviews as usual, but with sharper questions. And if a candidate you believed in performs unexpectedly in the simulation, you find out before the client does, which protects your credibility.
What your client receives
Instead of five CVs and a set of notes, the client receives five candidates with evidence of how each one handled realistic situations from the role. The Fitment Report gives the hiring manager something concrete to discuss, and something specific to probe in the interview.
How to introduce it to your client
Most clients will see it as added assurance rather than added process, because nothing changes on their side except what arrives with the shortlist. A simple way to position it is: “For this role, every candidate we shortlist will come with evidence of how they handled realistic situations from the job.”
You decide how to present it within your offer. Some agencies will lead with it on every mandate; others will use it for harder-to-fill roles or for clients who have had a hire go wrong. Either way, the client still hires through you, and the evidence strengthens your recommendation rather than replacing it.
Which roles it suits
HireQuo is built for customer-facing roles where performance depends on recurring situations: Sales, Business Development, Account Management, Customer Success and similar roles. If the job involves pricing conversations, difficult accounts or follow-ups that need judgement, it is a good fit.
Starting on your next mandate
The mandate stays yours. The client stays yours. What changes is what arrives with your shortlist, and how much easier it becomes for your client to say yes.
The simplest way to see the difference is to try HireQuo by QuoDeck on one live role. Pricing is Rs 399 per assessed candidate, pay-as-you-go, with no setup or licence fees, so there is no commitment beyond the candidates you assess. If you're still making the case internally, Every Agency Sends CVs. The Ones That Win Send Evidence. sets out why evidence-backed shortlists change how clients compare agencies.
