Our hiring process
We practice what we preach. Every candidate completes Assessio's assessments measuring cognitive ability, personality and motivation before interviews begin.
Why? - Because we believe hiring decisions should be based on objective data—not gut feeling. The assessments take around 40 minutes, and you'll receive feedback quickly.
Why Assessio?
Assessio is one of Northern Europe's leading HR Tech companies. We combine psychology, technology and data to help organisations make fairer and more accurate talent decisions.
Today we operate across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, France and the Netherlands - and we're continuing to grow.
Joining our Amsterdam office means becoming part of an international commercial team where Sales, Marketing and Customer Success work closely together to build new markets and create lasting customer value.
Most importantly, every opportunity you create contributes to something bigger: A labour market where potential matters more than bias.
Assessio exists because humans cannot make completely objective decisions – in recruitment processes, we can be our own worst enemy. Today, your chances of getting a job are higher if you are European, tall, look healthy and do not have children. We want to change that.
Assessio is a SaaS company specialising in strategic HR and developing tests and tools in occupational psychology. Our tools can help organisations predict who has the best potential to succeed in a role, find future leaders within the organisation, identify toxic behaviours in leadership, and match candidates to the organisational culture through values.
We provide our customers with data-driven insights about both current and potential employees. By making decisions based on reliable data rather than gut feeling, we can discover the potential that exists and ensure that no talent goes to waste.
To teach organisations how to make better decisions based on data, our consultants hold both customer-specific and open training courses in our tools. Among other things, the focus is on our digital platform, where we have gathered all our tools for matching, selection, development and business-driven HR. The platform makes it easy to combine multiple tools, create ranking lists in screening processes, compare candidates with each other or compare a candidate with a group.
