Assessment Platform

Hiring well starts before the interview.

When applications are in the hundreds, there's no fair way to sift at volume without structure. Match defines what good looks like before a single candidate is assessed — then gives every applicant a ranked FIT Score. Flat fee, however many applicants you have.

The Challenge

Hiring is hard — and the conditions are getting harder.

A rushed brief. A hiring manager still working out what they need. The structural pressure on the front end of hiring has been growing for years. And structured, high-quality assessment has tended to land at the wrong end of the funnel — because at volume, it has historically been too expensive to use early in the process.

The Reality

Assessment happens at the wrong end of the funnel.

Tight timelines. A hiring manager still working out what they actually need. These are structural pressures on every hire. Structured assessment has historically been too expensive to deploy at volume, so it lands at the shortlist. Too late to sift. Too late to protect the decision.

The Stakes

The cost of getting it wrong just went up.

The Employment Rights Act is making the consequences of getting this wrong more severe. From day one of employment, dismissal is harder to defend. The cost of a bad hire — already substantial in recruitment, induction, lost productivity, and team disruption — is now compounded by new dismissal protections that make correction harder.

The Response

Push assessment to the front, not the final three.

The leading-practice response is to push assessment earlier in the recruitment funnel — before the field has been narrowed. Use it as a sift on volume, not a check on the shortlist. Define the behaviours that matter before a single candidate is assessed. Make decisions that are defensible because they're based on agreed criteria, applied consistently, from the start.

That's what Match is built to do.

Priced for unlimited use* — not per candidate. Using it on every candidate costs no more than using it on three finalists.

* Unlimited for your organisation's own recruitment and development use. Pricing is based on organisational headcount. Where usage appears materially inconsistent with an organisation's headcount band, we reserve the right to make contact and discuss — see Pricing for detail.

Match

One score. Then as much depth as you want.

Match takes a behavioural profile of the role and your candidates' personality data, and returns a ranked FIT Score. Every candidate. Every time.

Define the role first. Profiler questionnaire (~5 min) or choose from ~40 pre-built role profiles.
Assess every candidate. FIT Score ranked 1.00–10.00 against five priority behaviours.
Unlimited use.* One flat fee — assess everyone at application stage, not just the shortlist.
Every candidate gets feedback. A high-quality personal report, regardless of outcome.

* Unlimited for your organisation's own recruitment and development use. Pricing is based on organisational headcount. Where usage appears materially inconsistent with an organisation's headcount band, we reserve the right to make contact and discuss — see Pricing for detail.

The Platform

One system. Six steps. The longer it runs, the richer the picture.

Match is the entry point. Each step connects to the next — and the system gets richer the longer you use it. Each step uses the data from the step before. Behavioural priorities set at hire shape the New Hire conversation. New Hire feeds into Drivers. Drivers informs FeedForward. This isn't a product list — it's a system.

Connective tissue

Each step uses what came before. Behavioural priorities at hire shape the New Hire conversation. New Hire informs Drivers. Drivers feeds into FeedForward.

A system that gets richer the longer you use it.

Most clients start with Match. The rest of the system is there when you're ready — and it's covered in the same pricing.

Why Now

The cost of a bad hire just went up.

UK employment law is tightening. Day-one rights, tighter dismissal protections, and a stricter "all reasonable steps" standard are making every hire more consequential. The right response is to push assessment earlier — and make it affordable to do so at volume.

Employment Rights Act 2025

Day-one rights

Unfair dismissal protections from day one remove the traditional "trial period" buffer. Every hire carries more risk than before.

Standard of Proof

All reasonable steps

A stricter standard for pre-hire due diligence. Tribunals will ask what structured evidence you had. Gut feel won't hold up.

Behavioural assessment is the leading-practice response
Match Solution

Unlimited use model

One flat fee makes it affordable to assess every applicant, not just the shortlist. Sift on behaviour at volume, not just at offer stage.

Defensible, structured evidence at every hire
Built on Science

Twenty years of occupational science. Behind a fifteen-minute questionnaire.

FindingPotential emerged from the work of occupational psychologists with experience at SHL, Korn Ferry, Hay Group, and Saville — the institutions that built modern assessment practice in the UK. That foundation has been stress-tested across more than 3,000 organisations over twenty years.

We've spent those years listening to what organisations actually need from assessment — and building for the hiring environment as it is now, not as it was in 2003. A wave of new sift tools is entering the market on the back of AI. Almost all of them are missing the same thing: a validated questionnaire that holds up under scrutiny. Match is built on one of the questionnaires that does. The science underneath is not new — the way it now compounds across the lifecycle is.
