Hiring assessment tools that turn shortlists into decisions
THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ASSESS WITH US
What a hiring manager sees on a real role: the profile, the scores and the recommendation
The process, start to finish
The same four steps whether you are filling one role or thirty, and whether you run it or a hiring manager does.
Agree what good looks like
Upload the job description and Wave Connect Hire drafts a Success Profile: the behaviors that matter most in the role. Your team edits it, approves it, and reuses it.
Assess against that standard
Candidates complete a behavioral assessment, plus aptitude where the role needs it. Between 6 and 35 minutes, and everyone is measured against the same profile.
Interview where the evidence is thin
Each candidate comes with an interview guide built from their own results, so the conversation goes where the gaps are.
Hand something useful to onboarding
Team assessment reports carry into the first ninety days, so the manager starts with a read on strengths and development needs.
When candidates use AI on your assessments
A 2025 Gartner study found 39% of job candidates used AI during the application process, and 29% used it to generate answers to assessment questions.
Included at no extra cost
Aptitude tests are where AI can actually supply an answer, because the questions have right answers to look up. So every one is checked against pre AI response baselines.
- Unusual patterns flagged to your admin team, never to the candidate
- A prompt to look again, not a verdict
- No change to your process, no extra candidate friction
Where the stakes justify it
Where misconduct carries real organizational consequence, assessments can run under recorded supervision, with any concerns summarized alongside the score.
- Recorded oversight of the testing session
- Priced per assessment, set up separately
- Used where defensibility matters most

Same roles, same managers, different evidence.
Early career to board

Experienced hires, where getting it wrong costs a year of underperformance.
Appointments that will be reviewed and remembered. Deeper assessment, and evidence you can put in front of a board.
What changed at Lagan Aviation
“I’m a department of one, so it had to be quick, easy, and simple to understand, for me, the hiring manager and the candidate. If I can do it, anybody can. It’s easy to use, reliable, respected in the market, and it delivers.”
Head of Talent
graduate hires stayed and are performing, up from 0 of 2 before
engineers interviewed in year two were strong enough to hire
to assess each candidate, with no hiring manager admin
Frequently asked questions
What comes up in every evaluation, answered plainly.
They measure how a candidate is likely to perform in the role, rather than how well they interview. Wave Connect Hire combines behavioral assessment with aptitude where the role needs it, and returns one Success Indicator from 1.0 to 10.0.
Aptitude tests carry an automatic check against pre AI response baselines. Where a pattern is unusual enough to warrant a look, your admin team sees a flag reading "Unusual Response Pattern Detected" and the recommended step is a supervised retest. Candidates never see it and it never appears in a report PDF. Your account is set up by our team at no extra cost.
No. One AI feature drafts the Success Profile from your role text, and a person on your team approves it before anything reaches a candidate. AI does not process results, score anyone, or rank a shortlist, and it can be switched off on request.
Applicant tracking and HR systems connect through Kombo, including Teamtailor, Workday and Eploy. Candidates are invited and results return without rekeying, and typical integrations go live in days, not months
Between 6 and 35 minutes, depending on the role. Behavioral Deep Dive, our most predictive instrument, runs at about 35 minutes. Shorter assessments sit at the lower end.
One screen per candidate: the Success Indicator, how they score against the agreed Success Profile, and a recommended next step of progress, review or reject. Guidance only. The final decision always rests with your team.
