Assessment · Hiring · Development Intelligence

Measure every person. Develop every leader. At every scale.

Nancy AI assesses, hires, and develops talent through validated psychometrics, structured AI interviewing, and competency analytics — converting every assessment into an Individual Development Plan and a Learning & Development Plan, and aggregating evidence across organisation, city, country, and global levels.

2026 Talent Intelligence Outlook Structured multi-method assessment lifts predictive validity to r ≈ 0.65 — nearly 3× an unstructured panel.
Live across 6 sovereign engagements
Why measurement

Hiring on impression destroys value. Hiring on evidence compounds it.

Halo effects, structural visibility bias, and impression-management corrupt panel outcomes — confidence is mistaken for competence, rhetorical fluency for capability. Nancy replaces the narrative with measurement: nine independently validated assessments, scored against a defined rubric, and converted directly into a development plan.

Predictive validity coefficient achieved by Nancy's structured multi-method battery (Schmidt & Hunter meta-analytic ceiling for selection).
The assessment suite

Nine validated assessments. One defensible candidate profile.

Every module is independently validated and engineered to the BPS Psychological Testing Centre standards. Modules can run alone or compose into a complete battery — and every score flows into the same Individual Development Plan and Learning & Development Plan output.

After the assessment

Every assessment converts into a development plan.

Scores are useful. Plans are decisive. Every Nancy assessment is converted automatically into two structured outputs — the Individual Development Plan and the Learning & Development Plan — with owners, actions, timelines, and measurable competency uplift.

Individual Development Plan

A 12-month plan for each person, generated from their evidence.

Assessment results converted into a personalised action set — strengths to leverage, gaps to close, behaviours to develop. Each IDP names the manager, the coach, and the milestones. Reviewed quarterly. Owned individually.

  • Competency-level strengths, gaps, and growth edges
  • Targeted actions with owners, deadlines, and KPIs
  • Coaching cadence and manager checkpoints
  • Re-assessment schedule with progress benchmarks

Learning & Development Plan

The curriculum that closes the gap — engineered to the assessment.

Where the IDP names the actions, the LDP names the learning. Formal training, structured experience, coaching, and stretch assignments — sequenced to the 70-20-10 model and calibrated to the competencies the assessment surfaced.

  • Formal learning modules (online · in-person · blended)

Scale intelligence

From one person to one nation — the same evidence base.

Nancy aggregates assessment evidence at every level of analysis. The same scores that drive an individual's development plan also identify the initiatives, development tracks, and capability investments a city, country, or global programme needs to make next.

Talent analytics dashboard

Why structured AI interviews triple the validity of a panel.

Meta-analytic evidence (Schmidt & Hunter; Sackett et al.) shows structured, multi-method assessment more than doubles the predictive validity of an unstructured interview — and Nancy's AI-led format closes the rater-variance gap.
