Contents
Can I sign up for Hire Free with Gmail or another free email service?
No. Only business email domains are accepted for Hire 2.0.
What happens if a user from an active PI software account tries to create a Hire Free account?
The user will receive the below error message.
This happens regardless of the product configuration, or other modules purchased (e.g., Design and Inspire).
Do I lose access to Hire Free after any set period of time?
No. There is no time limit on Hire Free accounts.
What is the science behind my Job Insights?
The job insights are generated using your job details and best practices from hundreds of hiring managers, millions of data points, and decades of research.
If I hire multiple people using one job, do those count as multiple jobs or just one?
There is no limit to the number of applicants who can take the Behavioral Assessment. Rather, the number of candidates the user selects to ‘activate’ will count toward their limit.
What is the PI Behavioral Assessment?
The PI Behavioral Assessment is an untimed, free-choice, stimulus-response tool that is far more than a personality test. For more than 60 years, thousands of businesses around the globe have used our EFPA-certified behavioral assessment to understand the personality traits that make their employees and candidates tick.

Where are the results of my candidate’s PI Behavioral Assessment?
The results of the candidate’s PI Behavioral Assessment are populated with the Candidate’s Name on the Job Insights page.

How does Hire 2.0 differ from Hire 1.0?
Hire 2.0 is the latest version of PI’s talent optimization software, designed to improve the hiring process for any organization using it – whether they’re looking to fill three roles or 300.
In essence, Hire 2.0 is a cleaner, more streamlined version of the previous iteration. It has fewer total features than its predecessor – designed to offer a seamless, more intuitive experience for the user.
The 2.0 version further distinguishes itself from the 1.0 offering by way of enhanced Job Assessment, Candidate Activation, and Interview Builder features.
