Astra Talent · for companies
Questions companies ask
What does it cost?
It depends on the product. Skills Check has a price today, shown above. Talent Match is paid when you hire, and Train-to-hire and Future Bench are priced per project. Send a brief and we will quote.
Where are the candidates?
Astra learners study in eight languages around the world. Tell us where the role is and in which language the work happens.
Is the exam proctored?
Level 1 is not, and we say so on every certificate. That is why candidates for your role also pass your own timed challenge, scored on our server.
How do bounties work?
You describe a problem and set a reward. Learners with verified results in that field send solutions, you choose the best one and pay its author. Terms and rights to the work are agreed with you before the bounty goes live.
Can we test candidates we found ourselves?
Yes. That is Skills Check: you send exam codes, they sit the exam, you get results by topic with a verification page.
What personal data do you share?
Only what a candidate agreed to share, and only the skills your vacancy needs. Contacts open after the candidate says yes.
