Bringing disruption to a traditional industry
The

workforce dynamics call for more
technology-first approaches.
Assessio is enhancing traditional methods by integrating behavioral science with cutting-edge
AI technology, empowering organisations to make smarter, data-driven talent decisions.
"As a company, we have the financial backing and expertise in scaling from Pollen Street Capital, and the technology, the data, and the capacity to fundamentally change the way
talent management is approached. I believe that this industry is under rapid transformation with behavioural science, technology and AI as key drivers," says

The power of data: predicting success and boosting retention
One of Assessio's key differentiators is its ability to predict
employee performance, potential, and long-term
retention. In a labor market where competition for talent is fierce, Assessio provides the tools to optimise
talent acquisition and development, ultimately increasing revenue and decreasing staff turnover.
"Data is a game changer," continues Mikkel. "It's not just about more robust and valid assessments; it's also about leveraging our deep data in the HR tech landscape and enhancing its impact with AI, ensuring people are placed in roles where they can thrive and succeed, and then using this rich data and insights to develop talent to reach their potential. When companies do that well, they don't just retain employees - they build high-performing teams that drive real business results."
Strategic investment drives aggressive market expansion
Assessio is scaling its technology-driven approach to talent management across
Europe and beyond. The firm's investment has enabled Assessio to expand rapidly, entering new markets and solidifying its position as a leader in the HR tech space.
