About Up&Up

Candidate assessment software for teams that hire without a research department.

What Up&Up is

Up&Up is an online assessment platform. You build a test — or generate one from a job description — send candidates a link or an email invitation, and they complete it in the browser. Answers are scored automatically where they can be, AI suggests scores for open text and voice answers, and you review the results side by side before deciding who to interview.

Question types include multiple choice, open text, typing speed, coding exercises, short games, video responses, personality questionnaires and AI voice interviews. Invigilation — webcam recording, screen capture, fullscreen enforcement, tab tracking, ID verification — is optional and configured per test.

Who it is for

Small and mid-size hiring teams: the founder doing the hiring themselves, the one-person talent function, the agency screening a shortlist, the operations manager filling a dozen roles a year. People who need structured evidence about candidates but do not have an in-house assessment specialist, a psychometrics budget, or three weeks to run a procurement process.

That shapes the product. Setting up a role-specific assessment should take minutes rather than a consulting engagement, the pricing should not require a call, and nothing important should sit behind an enterprise tier.

What we do differently

Assessments built for your role, not picked from a catalogue

Paste the job description and Up&Up drafts an assessment for that role, which you then edit question by question. You can still pull from a library of ready-made tests when that is faster — but the starting point is your job, not the nearest generic template.

An AI phone interview inside the same assessment

A voice interview is a question type, not a separate product. The AI asks structured questions in the browser, listens, follows up, and the transcript lands in the same submission as everything else.

Everything on every paid plan

No feature gating. Proctoring, video invigilation, AI generation, AI voice interviews, auto-scoring and unlimited tests are included whichever paid plan you are on. You pay for candidates assessed, in credits, not for the right to use a feature.

Priced for a team that hires in bursts

One credit is one candidate taking one test (two if it includes an AI voice call). Credit packs never expire, so a company that hires four people this quarter and none the next is not paying for empty months.

What we are not

  • We are not an applicant tracking system. Up&Up assesses candidates; it does not run your pipeline, your offers or your onboarding.
  • We are not a decision engine. Nothing here rejects a candidate on its own, and we ask customers not to use it that way — see Responsible use.
  • We are not a certified psychometric publisher. Our personality questionnaires follow the widely used five-factor model, but they have not been independently validated, and we say so on the page where it matters rather than in a footnote.
  • We are not enterprise-ready on paper yet. We hold no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification today. Our Security page lists exactly what we do and do not have, so you can decide before you buy rather than after.

How we work

We publish what the product actually does. Where a claim would need a certificate, an audit or a validation study to stand up, we either hold it or we say we do not. A buyer who finds out the truth after signing is a customer we have already lost, and a candidate assessed on a claim that was not true is worse than that.

Getting in touch

One address reaches us: hello@upandup.work. Sales questions, support, security reports and data protection requests all land in the same place — the Contact page explains how to label them so they reach the right person quickly. Pricing is published in full on the Pricing page, and you can start on the free plan without talking to anyone.
