Introducing the Essentials Plan: Hiring Made Simple for Small Businesses

 

Hiring is hard, especially when you’re a growing business with limited time, a small team, and no room for costly mistakes.

Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of companies improve their hiring with science-backed assessments. However, we noticed a pattern: while larger organizations often have the resources to develop structured hiring processes and adopt these tools, smaller teams are left with the choice between rushed decisions or platforms that feel overly complex.

That’s why we created the Essentials Plan — a simpler, more accessible version of our assessment platform, built specifically for small to mid-sized businesses that want to hire quickly, confidently, and without added complexity.

 

The Hiring Problem We Kept Seeing

After countless conversations with hiring managers, business owners, and team leads, we kept hearing the same thing:

 “We don’t have time to overthink hiring. We just want to make the right choice — fast.”

The pressure to move quickly often leads to decisions based on gut feeling, which can result in poor fits and costly turnover. While hiring tools exist to reduce that risk, many can be expensive, time-consuming to implement, or simply not be built with smaller teams in mind.

Essentials was built to bridge that gap. It’s a practical solution for busy, fast-moving teams. Whether you’re scaling your business, filling a key position, or just trying to avoid another bad hire.

 

What is the Essentials Plan?

Prevue Essentials include everything you need to start using pre-employment assessments right away. It’s built for teams that want to move quickly while still making high-quality hires.

At its core, Essentials offers a curated library of 100+ job profiles, each designed with science-backed assessment combinations. Developed by our in-house I/O psychology team, these assessments stem from decades of research and are tailored to reflect the real demands of today’s most common roles.

Here’s how it works:

  • Browse the job library and choose a role that matches what you’re hiring for
  • Each position comes with a pre-built set of assessments, focused on measuring what matters most for that role
  • For example, if you’re hiring a Customer Service role, the assessments include personality, work ethic, and service-related skills.

How Essentials Helps You Hire Better

Essentials was built to do one thing well: help small teams make better hiring decisions, faster.

Here’s how it adds value:

  • Instant access – Sign up and start assessing candidates right away. No setup, no onboarding calls, no waiting.
  • Quick and simple workflows – Select a role, send an invite, get results. It’s as easy as that.
  • Actionable insights – Every report gives clear, easy-to-understand results you can use to help spot top candidates faster.
  • Affordable for growing teams – Built to be accessible and cost-effective, giving you the tools to hire within budget.

 

Faster, Smarter Hiring for Small Teams

Designed specifically for small to mid-sized businesses, this plan supports teams that are scaling quickly, making critical hiring decisions, and can’t afford to get it wrong. It’s especially helpful if you:

  • Don’t have a dedicated HR team (or maybe you are the HR department)
  • Are managing multiple roles and can’t afford the risk of a bad hire
  • Want a faster, easier way to screen candidates without sacrificing on quality

When top candidates are applying to companies of all sizes, your biggest competitive advantage as a small business is speed. The ability to move quickly can be the difference between landing the right person and losing them to a bigger brand. Essentials helps you act fast by giving you a streamlined, pre-built way to assess candidates — while still making smart, informed data-driven hiring decisions.

Until now, our tools were mainly used by organizations with the time and resources for custom setups and strategic rollouts. With Essentials, we’ve taken that same level of insight and made it accessible to smaller teams, through a platform that’s easy to use, quick to launch, and designed to deliver immediate value.
