McCoy IQ vs Radancy

If you only need the video screen, skip the platform

McCoy IQ is purpose-built for one job: an async video screen on a branded challenge page where candidates talk through one real business problem. If your team only needs that piece – without an enterprise TA platform around it – McCoy IQ is the focused alternative.

Why this matters

Candidate experience is the strategy. Give people a real problem and the tools to do their best work on it, and trust the signal that comes back.

Four ways teams use McCoy IQ

First screen. A quick filter before resume review.
Second screen. Deeper signal after the resume review.
Pipeline before the role. Publish a challenge before you’re hiring. Build a pool of people already engaged with your work.
Brand engagement. Let interested people demonstrate their thinking – not just follow you on LinkedIn.
