Assessio exists because humans cannot make completely objective decisions – in recruitment processes, we can be our own worst enemy. 

Today, your chances of getting a job are higher if you are European, tall, look healthy and do not have children. We want to change that. 

Assessio is a SaaS company specialising in strategic HR and developing tests and tools in occupational psychology. Our tools can help organisations predict who has the best potential to succeed in a role, find future leaders within the organisation, identify toxic behaviours in leadership, and match candidates to the organisational culture through values. 

We provide our customers with data-driven insights about both current and potential employees. By making decisions based on reliable data rather than gut feeling, we can discover the potential that exists and ensure that no talent goes to waste.

**When good leaders go too far**

HR Science Summit 2026 | 45 min

Research shows that ‘dark’ personality traits are more prevalent at the top of organisations than anywhere else. We examine what these traits are, and how unchecked behaviour can erode psychological safety and drive talent out the door. We draw on the latest research and discuss how HR leaders can identify and manage risk behaviour before it starts costing the organisation.
