George LaRocque, Founder and Principal Analyst, Work Tech

The biggest value-add of Searchlight is the ability to prevent turnover. My hiring managers are now more confident and reassured in their hiring decisions, and the onboarding report speeds up time-to-performance and helps in having more meaningful conversations.

On whether or not this has improved the quality of hires, it’s an unequivocal, strong yes.

Anna Wang & Kerry Wang, Co-founders

Here’s Why We Do What We Do

Hiring Should Be a Win-Win for Everyone

Being twin sisters with similar backgrounds, cofounders Kerry X. Wang and Anna X. Wang started Searchlight after feeling misunderstood during their own job seeking experiences. With a similar look in person and on their resume, Kerry and Anna were often categorized as the same person. They were determined to figure out a way to help companies understand candidates holistically and in vivid detail. Only when people end up in jobs where they can belong and thrive can companies build high-performing, connected teams.
