Situation
Companies need to select young talent, but school grades and CVs alone are not reliable predictors of fit or potential.
Symptoms
- High dropout rates during probation.
- Mismatches when relying only on grades.
- High supervision effort for unsuitable candidates.
- Frustration on both sides (trainee and company).
Challenge
Goal: Identify suitable candidates early, reduce dropout risk, make potential for training and learning ability visible.
Why it matters: A wrong hire at entry level is costly and weakens the future talent pipeline.
Solution
Online assessments designed for entry-level selection: a mix of cognitive ability tests, motivation and interest profiles, and matching tools to ensure role fit.
Tool Examples
- Aivy → short gamified assessments (motivation, skills, interests).
- Cyquest QualiMatcher → candidate–job matching for training roles.
- Alpha Test AT-Logic figural/numerical/verbal→ cognitiv aptitude.
