When it comes to recruiting talent, aptitude tests assessing general mental abilities (GMA) are good predictors of future job performance and are frequently used in combination with instruments assessing job-related personality traits or competencies. However, keeping testing regimes as concise and valid as possible is a key factor for recruiting companies. Therefore, HR-practitioners are faced with the challenge to find the ideal combination of instruments to do online assessment for a specific job. The assess-o-mat follows the idea of having the expert in a box. Based on AI technology the assess-o-mat uses the represented knowledge of experienced HR consultants as well as the findings from countless empirical studies on predictors of future job performance in order to automatically set-up the ideal testing regime. The assess-o-mat uses an innovative interface to collect job-relevant information and is defining the underlying job profiles on the basis of non-linear pattern recognition technology.
