Predictive and fair hiring with game-based asssessments
The Equalture platform helps you attract and retain top talent with the right skills, while providing in-depth insights into candidates’ abilities. The platform enables you to assess (soft) skills, cognitive abilities, and the potential of your candidates. This allows your organisation to build a talented, future-proof workforce and reduce costly turnover.

How it works
Know which skills are important for your roles
Before having your candidates go through the games, you identify the key competencies for your roles by letting current employees play the games anonymously.
This gives you a clear understanding of your ideal candidate profile, allowing you to hire the right people.
Get the right insights with gamified assessments
Attract top talent without worrying that candidates will drop out due to non engaging assessments, and gain objective insights right at the start of your recruitment process.
Track performance and improve your recruitment process
Monitor the performance of your recent new hires and whether they have successfully completed their onboarding/training. This allows you to adjust your recruitment process and improve quality with every decision you make.

Equalture has a significant impact on our volume hiring process, in our case for customer-oriented roles. Without Equalture, our process would be more time-consuming and less effective. Equalture helps us focus on the potential of candidates, not just their resumes. Without Equalture, the process would be more expensive, less effective, and more subjective.
Since Equalture also analyzes the performance of recent hires, we can establish increasingly sharper benchmarks and competency profiles, leading to higher retention rates and satisfaction among new employees. Equalture is indispensable in our recruitment process.”
Besides spending less time screening Equalture really helped us focus less on experience and background and more on a candidate’s potential. This resulted in 24% of hires last year that we would not have been hired based on their CV, but were offered a job because of their good Equalture scores – with 100% retention. This not only increased the talent pool, but also improved diversity.
We are enlarging our pool of candidates while also being able to match candidates more easily – if a candidate isn’t suitable for a position, the information coming from the games will also be able to tell us what they are suitable for within the organization

Frequently Asked Questions
When we talk about gamification, we mean the application of game based elements in non-game related contexts. Game-based assessments allow the candidates to show their natural, unconscious behaviour and abilities. To put it simply, gamified assessment refers to modifying the original form of traditional assessment by adding game elements to increase motivation.
Game-based assessments focus on measuring two aspects most predictive of job performance:
Gamified recruitment has a number of advantages over traditional tests:
- Non-trainable. Games are unknown, thus non-trainable. Therefore, game-based assessments provide you with results you can trust in.
- Non-manipulable. Games put candidates in an immersive experience and draw conclusions from data points that focus on a candidate’s unconscious behaviour. This prevents the impact of social desirability on the assessment results.
- Bias-free. As games prevent the interference of socially desirable behaviour, they also prevent the chances of cultural background influencing the assessment results.
- Engaging for candidates. Gamified psychometric tests are more immersive, meaning that they make a candidate forget that they are assessed. This reduces stress and anxiety, resulting in a much better Candidate Experience (average rating of all candidates that complete the Equalture game-based assessments is 4.54/5).
- Innovative 21st Century format. Using Innovative technologies, such as game-based assessments, especially when recruiting and assessing candidates has repeatedly been proven to leave positive effects on applicant perception of an organisational image.
Game-based assessments are built and validated upon decades of scientific research and neuroscience. They are designed to help companies hire people based on science rather than bias. They are carefully designed, validated and evaluated making the results more reliable than results from traditional tests
Traditional assessments such as personality questionnaires, according to scientific research have proven to have multiple disadvantages when it comes to the hiring process:
- Low validity when it comes to predicting future job performance. People arrive at a different result the second time they take a test, even if it’s just five weeks later.
- Involve dangers of self-reporting and social desirability.
- Practising common cognitive tests (figure series, pattern recognition, etc.) wrongfully improves the results.
- Cultural background influences self-reporting as people from different cultural backgrounds have different ways of expressing themselves and interpret words differently.
The games can be used for various functions and are adaptable for specific roles. As a company, you yourself choose which characteristics you find important to measure, so the package of games can be adjusted per function. The game-based assessments can therefore be used for all positions and all sectors.
Gamification is built and validated upon decades of scientific research and neuroscience.
The assessments were created by a team of neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, organisational psychologists, data scientists, game designers and recruitment experts. They drew on decades of cognitive and behavioural and neuroscience in developing the games. Game-based assessments are new scientific tools for measuring and assessing a person’s cognitive ability, personality and unconscious behaviour. We validate our assessments extensively, both during assessment development and after an assessment goes live. As part of this process, we focus on the reliability of our tests and construct validity.
