Things have a way of turning out differently than originally planned.

For us 2020 was going to be the year when we would launch the Expert Review. After more than 6 years of working on perfecting it, we were ready to release this remote assessment to the market.

But that was without taking COVID-19 into account. This pandemic is changing the way we live and work in a dramatic way and on a global scale.

Although not intended, the remote assessment is an answer to the restraints we must apply to protect ourselves and our loved ones. The Expert Review enables us to perform qualified and validated assessments without placing people face to face.

What is an Expert Review?

Well, it is exactly what the name says.: a review, (hand)written by an expert, an Expert Review Assessor, experienced in analysing the Thalento® Personality & Motivation e-assessment data and comparing these with the customer’s needs, resulting in a unique Remote Assessment report.

The Background

Over the past six years the Thalento® R&D department has developed and perfected the Expert Review as an answer to a series of specific demands from our customers. Clients that were looking for an alternative to the overpriced and time-consuming Assessment or Assessment Centre.

Their need was both simple and sensible; a faster and better-priced solution that at the same time provided a tailored answer to their specific requirements. They also wanted to minimise the time invested by the participant and speed up the “delivery process”.

In close cooperation with our customers we set out to identify their needs, the depth of the required analysis and the expected results.

Rather soon it was clear that the application of the remote assessment was broad and would need to align all the questions the client wanted answers to.

The Expert Review, in a few words.

It all starts with a participant completing an online Thalento® Assessment.

The results are analysed by an Expert Review Assessor who then writes a unique report, matching the assessment scores to the requirements detailed in the function description or the competence profile. The result is an individual Expert Review report, written to order.

The entire process is automated and managed within the Thalento® Platform. Our Expert Review Assessors are trained to deliver the unique hand-written reports, in 9 languages, within 48 business hours.

We want to emphasise that each Expert Review is a uniquely written report, detailing the analysis and conclusion of the Expert Review Assessor. It is NOT a computer generated or machine learning based report.
