As if talent acquisition in 2024 wasn’t already hard enough, relying on CVs and question-based psychometric assessments is no longer an option if you want to accurately predict hiring success and figure out what candidates are really like.
For the past nine years, we’ve been helping innovative TA teams, do more with less, broaden talent pools, and deliver exceptional candidates. All while navigating a complex tech stack.
And now our solution is one of the only assessments on the market future-proofed against ChatGPT and other Generative AI plug-ins.
Tasks, not questions
CVs were already under fire as an inefficient sifting tool for time-pressured recruiters and a poor predictor of candidate's future success, with 65% of employers already ruling them out. Until recently, the best option most talent teams had was a traditional question-based psychometric test.
But in the age of Generative AI, these tools are no longer fit for purpose. And that’s on top of the fact research shows question-based assessments are proven to create adverse impact for protected groups.
That’s why our next generation psychometric assessment uses tasks, not questions, to uncover a candidate’s true potential.
Candidates don’t tell us how they’ll perform. They show us.
Whether you’re assessing for Personality or Workplace Intelligence (our answer to Cognitive Ability), we’ll curate over 12,000 data points to help you predict whether a candidate will succeed in your role.
We’ve combined neuroscience and cutting-edge psychology to give you a more holistic view of a candidate’s potential than any psychometric test has ever given before. Unlike traditional psychometrics, our engaging tasks score a candidate based on how they think and learn, not what they tell you or whether they got the answer right.
What’s more, 85% of candidates enjoy taking our engaging assessment, resulting in an industry-leading 91% completion rate.
