Personality

Personality

Understand who someone really is at work.

CVs describe what someone has done, not how they'll behave in the future. MAP and MAP-Essence measure the traits that predict day-to-day performance, giving you a validated, bias-free picture of every candidate before you make a hiring decision.

Assessments featured:

Screening

High-volume hiring can be a trade-off between speed and rigour. MAP-Essence and Matrigma screen applicants using validated science, so you can shortlist quickly and ensure only the best candidates progress.

Assessments featured:

Behavioural

See how someone will behave in your workplace.

Personality traits can become risks when under pressure, and values shape how someone fits your culture. Match-V, MAP-X, and MAP reveal behavioural risk and cultural fit, so you can make hiring decisions that stand the test of time.

Assessments featured:

Cognitive

Measure the ability to think, learn, and solve problems.

Some roles need a problem-solving perspective more than raw experience. Matrigma and Logics assess general mental ability without bias toward language or background, so you can identify candidates who will think clearly and pick up new skills fast.

Assessments featured:

Design a unique recruitment process for every role

Every role deserves its own hiring process, not a one-size-fits-all checklist. Create a job, then choose exactly which assessments, interviews, and other steps go into finding the right person, whether that's a personality test, a cognitive assessment, a structured interview, or a hands-on project. Build the process once, reuse it whenever you're hiring for that role again, and know exactly what went into every hire.

Assessio’s Lens Maker guides you through the process step by step, helping you build a process that works.

It rebuilt selection around a tailored requirement profile and science-based assessment, screening for the right personality and cognitive profile earlier in the process.

Frequently asked questions about Predictive Hiring

Browse our FAQs to find out more.

What is predictive hiring software?

Predictive hiring software uses validated psychometric assessments and real-world performance data to forecast how well a candidate will perform in a role, rather than relying on CV keywords or interviewer gut feel. Assessio's Predictive Hiring module is built on over 70 years of psychometric research, so predictions are grounded in science and can be proven against downstream performance outcomes.

How do psychometric assessments reduce hiring bias?

Unlike generic candidate screening tools, every assessment in Assessio's Predictive Hiring library is validated to prevent adverse impact, with bias-checking built into every scoring model, so results measure job fit rather than demographic proxies. Results are also explainable and auditable, so candidates, managers, and procurement teams can all see how a decision was reached. 

Is AI-based candidate screening compliant with the EU AI Act?

Assessio's Predictive Hiring module is built on ISO 42001-certified AI governance — one of the first ISO 42001 certifications held by an HR platform — and its scoring is fully auditable, positioning it to meet the EU AI Act's August 2026 enforcement deadline for high-risk AI in hiring.

Does predictive hiring software integrate with an existing ATS?

Yes. Assessio's Predictive Hiring module integrates natively with leading ATS platforms, including Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters, SAP SuccessFactors, and Visma, so candidate data flows directly into existing recruitment workflows without manual stitching.

What's the difference between candidate screening software and an ATS?

An ATS manages the recruitment workflow — job postings, applications, pipeline stages. Candidate screening software like Assessio's Predictive Hiring goes a step further, using validated psychometric tests and AI-assisted analysis to predict how well a candidate will perform in the role. The two work together: Assessio integrates with your existing ATS rather than replacing it, so screening insights sit inside the workflow you already use.

Are psychometric tests legally defensible for hiring decisions in the EU?

Yes, provided they're properly validated. Assessio's psychometric tests are built on peer-reviewed research and checked for adverse impact, so results can be shown to measure job-relevant traits rather than proxies for protected characteristics. Every score is explainable and auditable, which matters both for individual candidate challenges and for compliance with EU AI Act requirements on high-risk hiring systems. 

What assessments are used to measure job fit?

Assessio's assessment library covers the core dimensions of job fit: Matrigma for cognitive ability, MAP and MAP Essence for personality and integrity, Match-V for values and culture fit, and Logics for verbal, numerical, and logical reasoning. Used together, they build a complete, validated picture of a candidate's potential to perform in role.
