Our Approach

Often a role may require knowledge of a specific concept or piece of software, but not require a mastery of all of it.

Our I-O psychologists partner with you to define what knowledge and skills are required for success in a role. We then create a tailored assessment based on those findings.

You get a short, candidate-friendly skills test powered by our mobile-first assessment engine that measures candidates against those set of skills and knowledge unique to your role.
