What Our Assessments Measure
Depending on your hiring context, role requirements, and candidate audience, we combine the most appropriate methods into a cohesive, single-stage experience. This blended talent assessment approach ensures robust assessment outcomes while delivering a streamlined and engaging candidate experience.
How It Works
Our candidate assessment process is designed to be straightforward for your team to implement and seamless for candidates to complete, whether you’re assessing a cohort of ten or ten thousand.
1. Discovery and Brief
We begin by understanding your organisation, your hiring goals, and the specific capabilities and potential you want to assess. This includes reviewing your competency framework, candidate audience, and any existing assessment activity, ensuring everything we design is grounded in your context from the outset.
2. Assessment Design
Using your brief alongside our Future Skills Model and deep expertise in assessment design, we build a bespoke blended assessment solution. Each component is selected and configured to assess the dimensions that matter most for your roles, balancing rigour, predictive validity, and candidate experience.
3. Pilot and Validation
Before full deployment, we pilot the assessment with a representative sample to validate scoring, check for adverse impact, and ensure the candidate experience is engaging and accessible. Any adjustments are made before the live campaign begins.
4. Deployment and Delivery
Candidates complete the assessment online at a time that suits them. Our platform manages the full candidate journey, from invitation and completion through to scoring and reporting, ensuring a smooth, consistent experience at every stage regardless of volume.
5. Reporting and Insight
Results are delivered through clear, data-rich reports that score candidates across each assessment dimension and map to our potential identification model. Group-level insight allows organisations to understand capability and potential across entire cohorts, informing both immediate hiring decisions and longer-term talent development strategies.
6. Review and Optimisation
Following each campaign, we review performance data, candidate feedback, and hiring outcomes to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. This ensures your assessment process becomes more effective with every cohort.
Why Work With Us?
Improved Efficiency And Lower Cost Per Hire
An Engaging Candidate Experience
Candidates complete all required assessments in one seamless journey, reducing process drop-off and minimising delays between application and offer. Item variety and a truly blended design enhance engagement throughout the assessment experience, while a single, all-encompassing feedback report provides clarity and value to candidates.
Increased Diversity
High cut-scores on single assessment criteria are often a key driver of adverse impact. Our blended talent assessment approach draws on multiple criteria to increase predictive power while supporting a more diverse and inclusive hiring process.
Better Quality Candidates
By assessing potential through a range of complementary assessment methods, organisations benefit from increased “incremental validity.” This delivers a more rounded view of each candidate and ensures higher-quality talent progresses to later stages of the hiring process.
