The best employees are not only technically capable but also aligned with the values and culture of your organisation. With candidate behaviours and expectations now much more multifaceted, traditional hiring methods of looking at experience and skills may be insufficient. The Vero framework has been developed to evaluate not only skills or cognitive ability, but also a person’s cultural fit, values alignment and their future potential to enable more strategic hiring decisions.
What Is The Vero Framework?
“Vero” means “true” or “authentic” in Italian, aligning with our mission to create an assessment process that looks at the whole-person and goes beyond the traditional review of qualifications and experience.
The Vero framework includes a candidate’s values, personality, cognitive abilities, soft skills, and role-specific capabilities to provide a complete and objective picture. Divided into five core assessment perspectives, each addressing a key aspect of the ‘whole person’:
- Align: Measures alignment with organisational and cultural values.
- Insight: Tests situational judgment and decision-making.
- Skills: Measures role-specific technical and functional competencies.
- Aptitude: Evaluates cognitive abilities such as reasoning and problem-solving.
- Persona: Assesses personality traits and soft skills.
Find The Best Fit
Finding all the attributes you are looking for is a challenge. Now you can set up each campaign based on exact fit dimensions, providing a more holistic view. A dimension is made up of values, traits and strengths. A total of 16 dimensions are organised into 4 defined categories, focused on key attributes.
Enhancing Traditional Assessment
Organisations, technology and candidates have changed; from expectations to the tools used. The importance of an assessment process to effectively evaluate a candidates suitability for a role and organisation has never been more crucial. The Vero framework has been developed to evaluate not only skills or cognitive ability, but also a person’s cultural fit, values alignment and their future potential to enable more strategic hiring decisions.
Built on a foundation of academic research and empirical validation, Vero uses a layered approach of predictive validity (prediction of job performance) and incremental validity (combining assessment tools to increase validity) to assess different dimensions and provide a robust prediction of success. Rather than replacing traditional tools, Vero enriches them by layering structured interviews, situational judgment tests, realistic job previews and values-based assessments on top of cognitive and technical measures to provide a more comprehensive view of the candidate.
With in-depth insights and data, Vero has been designed to be more than just an assessment tool, but a strategic solution that can be used throughout the full employee lifecycle.
Tailored To The Level You Need
Vero can be used for any level of role. 4 specific levels are tailored to ensure a comprehensive and engaging assessment process:
- Level 1: Junior
- Level 2: Graduate
- Level 3: Manager or Skilled Worker
- Level 4: Director

- Simple scoring to identify best fit: Based on the dimensions selected in set-up, the Vero reporting tool will automatically calculate results from the perspectives assessments used to give each candidate a fit score based on a percentage. You can then deep dive into individual perspective or dimension scores for a breakdown of these results.
In-Depth Reporting
The intuitive dashboard gives you a view of overall results, displayed under each of the 5 perspectives. The fit score is calculated using an average of the perspective scores based on the dimensions selected. You can deep dive into individual performance on each perspective and change data views using weightings.
- Identify candidates with critical fit components for the role being assessed.
- Enable better talent pooling and candidate redirection using weightings to filter data in multiple ways and find best fit candidates for different roles.
- Download individual candidate reports to gain a more in-depth view and inform the next stage of the process.
