AI vs. Practic-Alt: Why Our Approach to Hiring and Evaluation is Better


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the hiring and evaluation landscape, automating resume screening, conducting pre-set assessments, and even predicting candidate success based on historical data. However, at Practic-Alt, we believe AI-driven hiring and evaluation processes fall short in one critical area: real-world application. While AI is undoubtedly a powerful tool, it lacks the depth of human insight, the ability to assess situational problem-solving, and the nuance required to evaluate skills effectively in practical scenarios.

The Limitations of AI-Driven Hiring & Evaluation

AI-powered hiring systems primarily rely on resume parsing, keyword matching, and standardized theoretical tests. These processes, while efficient, are fundamentally flawed:
  • Resume Screening Biases – AI algorithms often filter candidates based on rigid parameters, potentially eliminating highly skilled individuals who may not have the "right" keywords in their resumes.
  • Theoretical Over Practical Knowledge – AI-driven assessments focus heavily on technical or theoretical knowledge, failing to measure how well an individual applies their skills in real-world situations.
  • Lack of Contextual Understanding – AI does not assess a candidate’s decision-making ability in dynamic, workplace-specific contexts, making it an incomplete tool for workforce evaluation.
  • Over-Reliance on Historical Data – AI models are trained on past hiring data, which can perpetuate biases and fail to recognize the potential of non-traditional candidates.

How Practic-Alt is Doing It Better

At Practic-Alt, we take a fundamentally different approach. Instead of relying solely on AI-driven assessments, we have built a system that emphasizes situational and practically driven evaluations. Our IdentifiEd platform goes beyond traditional theoretical tests by integrating real-world problem-solving and scenario-based questions that truly assess a candidate’s capabilities.

What Sets Practic-Alt Apart?

  • Real-World Situational Assessments – Our assessments mimic actual workplace scenarios, requiring candidates to demonstrate how they would handle challenges, make decisions, and apply their skills practically.
  • Balanced Approach Between Theory and Application – Unlike AI-driven tests that focus on rote memorization or generic theoretical knowledge, our evaluations ensure candidates can think critically and adapt to real-world challenges.
  • Customizable for Businesses – We provide companies with the ability to tailor assessments based on their specific industry needs, ensuring a better alignment between candidate skills and job roles.
  • Eliminating Resume Dependency – Instead of filtering applicants through outdated resume screening, we focus on skill-based analysis, allowing candidates to showcase their true potential, regardless of past job titles or degrees.
  • Multi-Language Accessibility – Recognizing India's diverse workforce, our assessments are available in 12 regional languages, making them more inclusive and accessible to a wider talent pool.

The Future of Hiring: Beyond AI

AI is a valuable tool, but it should not be the final decision-maker in hiring and workforce evaluation. At Practic-Alt, we are committed to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring companies hire not just qualified candidates, but the right ones. As industries continue to evolve, businesses need employees who can think, adapt, and solve real-world problems—not just pass an AI-graded test. Practic-Alt is leading this transformation by delivering assessments that truly reflect a candidate’s potential in the workplace. Join us in redefining hiring and skill evaluation.
