The ethical, diversity-driven means of cognitive testing

Our testing environment uses ground-breaking behavioural science to create a unique and level playing field. Why limit yourself to a small pool of candidates from specific universities or STEM backgrounds when you can test directly for the skills needed for the job?  Open up your roles to a more diverse set of candidates and spot hidden talent.

The Mapped cognitive assessment will show you scores on your candidate list, so you can easily decide who to shortlist using bias-free data. Candidates will see their total test score on the personalised feedback link that you share with them.
