Assessment Centre Software
Maximise your assessment centre performance with cutting-edge technology - Tazio's Assess Smart is the ultimate solution for running efficient, reliable, and customisable assessment centres at scale.
Why use assessment centres?
Assessment centres are widely used in graduate and early careers recruitment to evaluate high volumes of candidates in a cost-effective and efficient manner. They typically involve a series of assessments, including structured group activities, individual presentations and interviews, and aptitude and psychometric tests, to evaluate a candidate's abilities, values, motivation and potential to perform well in the role.
The assessments are designed to reflect the real-life demands of the role and evaluate an individual's ability to perform the tasks required in that role. This may include assessing leadership, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
Assessment centres provide a systematic, objective, and standardised method for evaluating a candidate's suitability for a job. They offer a more comprehensive and accurate evaluation than traditional selection methods such as an online application form or CV and then an interview.
In addition to recruitment and selection, they are used in other contexts, including employee development, training and performance management. They are widely recognised as a reliable and effective method for evaluating individuals in the workplace and are used by many large organisations.
Problems with assessment centres
While assessment centres can offer many benefits to organisations, there are also some potential problems you should consider:
1. Time and cost: Running assessment centres can be time-consuming and expensive and will require specialised expertise and resources.
2. Bias: Assessment centres can be influenced by biases, such as unconscious bias, cultural bias, and the halo effect. To minimise bias, it is essential to use standardised assessment methods, have trained assessors, and use a consistent assessment process.
3. Validity: The validity of the results from an assessment centre can be influenced by factors such as the quality of the assessment methods used, the experience of the assessors, and the objectivity of the assessment process.
4. Paperwork: Without appropriate software, assessors typically record their scores and observations on simple spreadsheets or, worse, on paper. This makes collating data and comparing candidates incredibly time-consuming and prone to error.
5. Legal considerations: Assessment centres must be designed and implemented in compliance with relevant employment laws, such as anti-discrimination and privacy laws.
While these problems can present challenges by using Tazio's Assess Smart and with careful planning and implementation, these can all be mitigated. We have years of experience designing, implementing and running assessment centres for hundreds of large global employers. We can minimise these problems, ensuring that your assessment centre is effective and successful.
Assess Smart solves these problems

1. Streamlined administration: Assess Smart automates virtually all the administrative tasks associated with running an assessment centre, such as scheduling candidates' and assessors' time, tracking participant progress, and generating reports. This saves recruiters a lot of time and significantly reduces the risk of errors.
2. Improved accuracy: Assess Smart includes standardised, objective, and validated exercises, assessments, aptitude tests and structured interviews, improving the accuracy of the results.
3. Increased efficiency: Assess Smart reduces the time and resources required to conduct assessment centres, making it possible to run more centres in less time.
