Recruitment Agency Assessment Platform
IntelligencesTest is a candidate evaluation and decision-support platform built specifically for recruitment agencies — not adapted from a tool designed for companies hiring their own staff. It gives your agency one place to run assessments, compare candidates, and produce client-ready evidence for every role you place.
Why a dedicated platform, not a generic HR tool
Most assessment software is built for a company evaluating its own employees or applicants — one client, one internal audience. An agency’s reality is different: dozens of clients, each with different roles and expectations, and every recommendation has to be defensible to someone outside your own organisation. Schmidt and Hunter’s meta-analysis of 85 years of personnel-selection research (Psychological Bulletin, 1998) found that combining a structured assessment with a structured interview predicts job performance substantially better than either alone, and far better than unstructured judgment by itself. IntelligencesTest is built around that combination specifically for the agency workflow: structured evidence your recruiters can present, not a raw psychometric score you have to translate for a client.
One platform across every stage, not four separate tools
Evaluation, comparison, ranking, and shortlisting are frequently sold as separate point solutions, which means an agency stitching them together has to re-key results moving from one tool to the next, and loses the audit trail connecting a final shortlist back to the original evidence. Because all four stages run on the same platform and the same underlying data, a candidate’s evidence carries forward automatically from evaluation through to the final client-ready shortlist, with nothing re-typed or reformatted in between.
What the platform does, stage by stage
- Evaluate: every candidate completes the same structured battery for the role, regardless of which recruiter sourced them — see evaluation software
- Compare: candidates are set side by side on identical criteria, not read as isolated reports — see comparison software
- Rank: the pool is ordered automatically so recruiters review the strongest matches first — see ranking software
- Shortlist: the ranked, compared pool becomes a client-ready shortlist with evidence attached — see shortlisting software
Every stage keeps the final decision with your recruiter, not the software — see decision support for what that means in practice. See how it applies to your specific agency type on the Solutions pages.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need separate tools for evaluation, comparison, ranking, and shortlisting?
No — all four stages run on the same platform and the same underlying data, so evidence carries forward automatically without re-keying between steps.
Is this built for companies hiring their own staff, or agencies?
Agencies specifically — the platform is built around the agency workflow of evaluating candidates on behalf of clients, not adapted from a single-employer HR tool.
Does the platform ever make the final hiring call?
No — every stage is built to keep the final decision with the recruiter; see decision support for how that’s structured in practice.
What’s the research basis for combining assessment with structured interviews?
Schmidt and Hunter’s 1998 meta-analysis of 85 years of personnel-selection research found that combination outperforms either method alone.
