In short: Saville Assessment has acquired Saville Assessment Asia Pacific (SAAP), its exclusive partner in Australia and New Zealand since 2006. SAAP’s team, clients, service and agreements continue as they are, and Saville is investing in SAAP for the long term.
- Clients in Australia and New Zealand keep the same SAAP team, the same contacts and the same service, with nothing they need to do.
- They gain deeper access to the full Saville range, a place at the forefront of what Saville builds next, and Saville’s training and support, from the team they already know.
- It is Saville’s first acquisition, and a long-term investment in a team that has represented Saville in the region for 20 years.
Since 2006, Scott Ruhfus and the team at Saville Assessment Asia Pacific (SAAP) have helped organizations across Australia and New Zealand put the right people in the right roles with Saville’s assessments. They know our science inside out, and their clients trust them for the high standards that come with the Saville experience.
As of October 1, 2026, SAAP is formally part of the Saville organization. After 20 years as partners, bringing the two businesses together is the natural next step. It’s Saville’s first acquisition, and a long-term investment in a team we know well and love to work with.
Same team, same service
If you work with SAAP today, nothing about your day to day changes. Your contacts are the same people. Your service and your agreements continue as they are. There’s nothing you need to do, and your usual SAAP contact is still the person to call with any questions.
More of Saville, from the people you know
No assessments on the market predict performance better than Saville’s. Now SAAP’s clients get deeper access to the full Saville range, a place at the forefront of what we build next, and Saville’s training and support, all delivered by the team they already work with.
We can’t wait to help more organizations across Australia and New Zealand put the right people in the right roles, and make people decisions that pay off.
SAAP knows our products and our clients inside out, and for 20 years they’ve delivered the high standards people expect from the Saville experience. They’ve built trusted relationships across Australia and New Zealand, and we’re proud to welcome them.

In Scott’s words
I have always followed the gold standard in psychometrics, and that was, and still is, Saville Assessment. Technology like Wave Connect has taken things to a stage I always hoped could be achieved. Becoming part of Saville brings the investment and expertise that will ensure a bright, dynamic future for SAAP, and I know our team’s know-how and can-do approach are valued by everyone at Saville.

Looking ahead
SAAP gives Saville a strong local base in Asia Pacific, and a team with the relationships to grow from it across Australia and New Zealand. We’ll share more with SAAP’s clients over the coming months.
Saville is backed by private equity firm Tenzing, and that investment now extends to SAAP.
