Assessment Platform · TalentAssess

Ranked evidence, not ranked CVs.

Behavioural signals from Immersive Work Experience feed directly into the Assessment Platform. Every candidate surfaces with validated motivation and learning-agility scores — auditable, explainable, adverse-impact tested.

Why it’s different

Assessment, rebuilt on behavioural evidence.

CVs measure past advantage. Screening tests measure test-taking ability. TalentAssess measures what candidates actually did during a realistic work experience — and converts it into ranked, defensible evidence.

Evidence before application

Captures motivation, engagement and learning-agility signals during Immersive Work Experience — before candidates write a single word.

01 · Capture

Validated, defensible scoring

r = 0.42 correlation with first-year performance. 4-fifths rule satisfied across protected characteristics. Audit-ready.

02 · Validate

Fully explainable AI scoring

Every score decomposes into the signals that drove it. No black-box ML. Hiring managers see the ‘why’, not just the ‘what’. Also powers our Video Interview Platform.

03 · Explain

62% less screening time

Teams using the Assessment Platform spend 62% less time on initial screening, with no reduction — and in most cohorts, an increase — in hire quality.

04 · Save

Adverse impact, built-in

Real-time adverse-impact monitoring across gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background and disability. Flag, investigate, correct — with full reporting & analytics.

05 · Monitor

ATS-ready in one click

Export shortlists direct to TalentPortal, Workday, SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Eploy. No CSV juggling.

06 · Integrate
How it works

From engagement to evidence, in four stages.

  1. Step 01

    Candidate joins IWX

    Completes your branded virtual work experience. Every decision, every keystroke, every collaborative choice is captured.

  2. Step 02

    Signals are extracted

    Business psychologists’ models convert raw engagement into motivation, initiative, agility and communication scores.

  3. Step 03

    Evidence is ranked

    Candidates surface on your Assessment Platform shortlist ranked by composite score. Every data point is traceable.

  4. Step 04

    Decision & feedback

    Advance, interview or decline — every candidate gets personalised feedback. Your team spends time on decisions, not filtering.
