Talevation has expanded their Talent Assessments Platform (TAP)™ to over 700 online talent assessments. TAP is Talevation’s cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) digital marketplace, where users can self-purchase and self-administer (in a private and secure manner) validated skills and behavioral talent assessments across a broad range of job titles, classifications and behavioral criteria. With the volume of talent assessments now available, Talevation also expanded their strategic partnership with IBM®, and has now incorporated IBM Watson™ AI, to help guide users in selecting the right assessments, for their unique situations.

Scott Abbott, Talevation Managing Partner noted, “Because we now have such an expansive portfolio of talent assessments – and that traditional keyword search offers limited results – we anticipated that users may have difficulty landing on the perfect assessment(s) or know exactly which assessments to take. In response, we built a chatbot named TAPbot™, that utilizes IBM Watson Services to deliver a guided experience. For example, TAPbot might suggest taking the ‘data mining concepts’ assessment, when the user searches for ‘artificial intelligence’. Or for a specific skills assessment, TAPbot might also recommend certain behavioral assessments, to complement their skills. These related but different assessments might be ones our user did not originally consider. Such self-discovery and support, is at the heart of the TAP experience.”
