Saville Assessment partners with Sova

Written by Saville Assessment | 12 Oct, 2026

Today we announce a new era, joining forces with Sova, the talent platform used by large organizations including Unilever, Vodafone and Sky. Saville clients can now access Sova’s AI readiness, contact center and video interview assessments, and Sova’s clients can use Saville’s assessments for the decisions that matter most.

  • Saville clients gain assessments we don’t offer today, including an AI Readiness Assessment built with genAssess.
  • Sova clients get Saville’s science for leadership and professional decisions, available within the Sova platform.
  • Fewer vendors and more joined-up solutions, which is what our research tells us clients want.

We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Sova. It brings together two businesses that do different things very well, so our clients can get more of what they need from partners who work together.

People teams can choose Sova or Saville assessments for each stage of their decision process, and plan them as one program, with every result stored in the same place, creating a single source of truth for people decisions.

More for our clients

Through the partnership, Saville clients can now access assessments from Sova that sit alongside what we already do:

  • AI Readiness. Built by Sova with genAssess, founded by Martyn Redstone, who joined us on our podcast. It measures whether people can work effectively and safely with AI, from spotting a made-up answer to handling confidential data inside an AI tool, rather than relying on self-reported confidence.
  • Specialist contact center assessments. Designed to identify people with strong customer service, communication and problem-solving skills, including realistic role simulations.
  • Video interviews. Structured one-way and live interviews, for external hiring and internal selection.

If you’d like to add any of these to your assessment program, talk to your Saville team.

Saville’s science for Sova’s clients

No assessments on the market predict performance better than Saville’s. That matters most where decisions are expensive to get wrong: leadership hiring, leadership development, choosing who joins your high-potential program, and professional hiring where accuracy counts. Sova’s clients can now use Saville’s assessments for those decisions, within the Sova platform and alongside the tools they already use.

We’re really excited about this partnership. Our clients come to us for the people decisions that are most expensive to get wrong. In junior, professional and leadership roles, no assessments on the market predict performance better than ours. Now we can bring them so much more alongside that to get the whole picture in one place, from AI readiness to contact center assessments and video interviews. Our research tells us clients want fewer vendors and solutions that work together, and that’s exactly what this gives them.

Hannah Mullaney, Chief Commercial Officer, Saville Assessment

Most large organizations use several assessment platforms, each with its own scale and its own reports, so the evidence rarely adds up to a clear view of what works. Bringing Saville’s well-established science onto the Sova platform, alongside assessments built by our own occupational psychologists, means every result is held to one standard in one place. That gives organizations the talent intelligence to see, over time, which decisions predicted performance.

What’s next

Over the coming months, both teams will be getting to know each other’s clients and products, and we’ll be bringing clients from both sides together at an event in London in November. We’ll share more as the partnership grows.
