Skills & Ability Assessments
Skills and ability assessments are tools designed to measure a person's proficiency, knowledge, and capabilities in a specific area or job. These assessments help employers gauge whether candidates possess the necessary skills for a role or identify areas for improvement in current employees.
The results of these assessments help make informed decisions about hiring, training, and employee development. We specialize in skills and ability assessments that help organizations make smarter, data-driven decisions.
About Our Skills & Ability Assessments
Thrive’s skills and ability assessments are built to measure job-specific competencies with high precision. The platform offers a wide array of assessments targeting cognitive abilities—such as reasoning, memory, logic, and problem-solving—as well as practical and technical skills tailored to over 200,000 distinct roles across all levels and industries.
Each assessment can be customized to match the exact requirements of a job and the unique culture of a business, ensuring that candidates are evaluated on the specific skills and behaviors that predict success in that role. The assessments use a proprietary, scientifically validated scoring system that aggregates results into concise scores for skills and psychometrics, providing a clear, objective basis for hiring decisions.
Beyond hiring, Thrive’s assessments support employee development and performance management by identifying skill gaps and areas for improvement. The platform enables organizations to benchmark employees against thousands of others, offering actionable insights for targeted training and development.
Detailed reports break down individual results by each ability and personality trait. When risk areas are detected, Thrive’s psychologists provide tailored interview questions to probe deeper during follow-up interviews.
How Our Skills & Ability Assessments Help You Identify the Right Candidates
Our skills and ability assessments help companies identify candidates who possess the necessary skills to succeed in a role. Through tests, simulations, and work samples, we assess a candidate’s proficiency in key areas required for the position. This ensures that businesses hire individuals who are capable of performing the job and likely to perform well under pressure and adapt to new tasks efficiently.
Using our assessments also helps reduce bias in the hiring process. By focusing on a candidate's actual abilities, we eliminate the influence of subjective factors that can cloud hiring decisions. Our approach is based on objective data that reflects a candidate’s true capabilities. This means you make decisions based on relevant, measurable criteria, leading to more accurate hiring choices and ultimately, stronger teams.
Our assessments offer deeper insights into how candidates will perform once hired. By evaluating both their cognitive and technical skills, we help companies predict how well candidates will integrate into their teams and manage the demands of the job. This helps streamline the hiring process, reduce turnover, and ensure long-term success for both the employees and the company.
