Situational judgment tests built for your roles

It measures the judgment your job needs

A scenario lifted from a library measures how someone handles a generic workplace. One written from your roles, against your competency framework, measures the calls they will actually have to make in week one.

It sells the role while it screens

Most assessment stages are something candidates endure. This is the one they tell people about, because it shows them the job rather than testing them on trivia.

One client saw 21% more candidates complete it than completed the scored application form it replaced.

It widens the field rather than narrowing it

Scenario-based assessment does not reward a particular education or a polished resume.

One client saw a 19% increase in completed applications from ethnic minority candidates after introducing one.

Designed around your roles

We build the scenarios with your people: the situations that actually come up, scored against the behaviors your framework values, in text, images or video, carrying your branding. This is what Heathrow did for security officer hiring, including an observation exercise built for the work itself.

Assessment for hiring at volume

Ready to use

Off-the-shelf versions for manager, customer-facing, retail and logistics roles, live as soon as you want them, with no design time. The obvious starting point when the volume is there but the budget for a bespoke build is not yet.

Candidate screening software

Build one from your own job

Book a demo, bring a role you hire for repeatedly, and we will walk you through the scenarios it would generate, what candidates see, and what comes back to your team. It is the quickest way to understand a product that is genuinely hard to picture from a web page.

What is a situational judgment test?

A situational judgment test puts a candidate in a realistic work scenario and asks what they would do. It measures judgment rather than knowledge, and because the scenarios come from the job itself, it doubles as a preview of the work for the candidate.

Should we build our own scenarios or use ready-made ones?

Build your own where the role is core to your business, high volume, or unusual enough that generic scenarios would miss the point. Use ready-made ones where you need something running quickly for manager, customer-facing, retail or logistics roles. We will say which one your situation calls for, including when the answer is the cheaper one.

Can candidates prepare for an SJT?

They can understand the format, and we point them to material that helps them do that. What they cannot do is revise the answers, because the scenarios come from your roles and the judgment being measured is their own. Preparation reduces nerves rather than changing scores.

Can candidates use AI to pass it?

It is a poor target for it. There is no single correct answer to discover, candidates rate each response separately rather than picking one from a list, and we have seen no rise in scores that would suggest widespread AI use. Response patterns are checked automatically and anyone who should be re-tested is flagged.

How long does one take to complete?

It varies with the role and the format: a short set of text scenarios is quicker than an immersive video journey, and we size it to the stage of the process it sits in. Candidates can complete it on a phone, and every applicant can receive an automated feedback report afterwards, which is what turns a screening step into something they will recommend to a friend.
