Why

Why this matters

!
A wrong senior hire costs 15x salary once you count severance, replacement recruitment, lost productivity and team disruption (Boushey & Glynn, 2012). Interview-only decisions rely heavily on charisma and rapport, which research shows correlates poorly with actual job performance — structured, competency-based assessment closes that gap.
Ideal For
Mid-to-senior hiring decisions, leadership pipeline assessment, and structured development planning where you need more than a resume and a gut feeling.

Using results responsibly. Assessment results describe tendencies and preferences at the time of testing; they are one input to a decision, not a verdict. Use them alongside a structured interview, work samples and references, tell candidates how their results will be used, and avoid treating any single score as a pass or fail line unless it has been validated for that purpose in your own setting.

Frequently asked questions

How is ASSESS different from a generic personality test?
ASSESS is built entirely on open-domain, non-proprietary science (Big Five, HEXACO, occupational psychology research) and normed specifically on Indian professional samples, then mapped to 31 named competencies with direct hiring and development relevance — not abstract trait labels.
Can I benchmark against my specific industry?
Percentile comparisons use the AXIS360 Global & Indian norm sample (n=7K+). You can also compare against your own organisation's completed results in Norm & Benchmarking.
