About Us

For over 40 years, Topgrading has been committed to helping organizations identify and hire high performers

Our journey began with our founder, Brad Smart, who pursued a Ph.D. in Psychology to master the art of assessing talent. Discontent with traditional hiring methods, Brad was determined to create a more reliable approach that could accurately reveal candidates' strengths and weaknesses. This drive led to the development of Topgrading's innovative tools and methods, built on a foundation of thorough applicant screening and robust verification processes.

Today, Topgrading continues to serve hundreds of businesses, both large and small. We've refined hiring processes for every management level, ensuring that organizations of all sizes can access our proven methods to build top-performing teams.
