Assessio, a pioneer in evidence-based talent management, is at the forefront of this transformation. With the appointment of Mikkel Lundø as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Assessio gains deep expertise in commercial leadership, SaaS, and international company scaling.

I believe that this industry is under rapid transformation with behavioural science, technology and AI as key drivers,” says Mikkel Lundø, newly appointed CRO at Assessio.

Data-driven insights to improve hiring and retention

Today, HR is a key driver of business success, ensuring employees not only have the right skills but also thrive in their roles. Assessio is leading this shift by combining behavioural science with data-driven insights, empowering HR teams to make smarter, well-informed talent decisions.

“Data is a game changer,” says Mikkel. “It’s not just about more robust and valid assessments. It’s also about leveraging our deep data in the HR tech landscape and enhancing its impact with AI, ensuring people are placed in roles where they can thrive and succeed. By using this rich data and insights, companies can develop talent to reach their full potential. When organisations get this right, they don’t just retain employees, they build high-performing teams that drive real business results.”

“This is an exciting time for Assessio,” concludes Mikkel. “We are not just optimising hiring processes, we are redefining the way organisations think about talent, from recruitment to retention and beyond.”
