C-Factor AI Assessment Platform

What is C-Factor AI?

C-Factor AI is a gamified and AI talent assessment platform used by organisations to assess candidates in an engaging, intuitive, scientific and objective manner for recruitment, development, and succession planning purposes. It combines cognitive ability games. situational judgement tests, and aptitude assessment along with AI-based interviews providing clients with automated reports, insightful dashboards and analytics, as well as clear, data-driven visibility into capability, readiness, and fit. 

The platform supports both large-scale hiring and more complex talent decisions by focusing on how people think, decide, and behave in realistic work situations rather than abstract test conditions.

When should organisations use C-Factor AI?

C-Factor AI can be used at multiple points across the talent lifecycle. It supports recruitment processes where organisations need to compare candidates fairly and efficiently, particularly when dealing with high volumes or multiple role levels.

Beyond hiring, the platform is used for development and internal mobility decisions, where organisations need to identify readiness, potential, and development needs using consistent criteria. It also supports succession planning by allowing leaders to compare individuals across roles and future requirements, rather than relying on subjective judgement.

How are candidates and employees assessed?

C-Factor AI offers a combination of assessment formats that can be configured based on role requirements and organisational context. These formats are designed to reflect real workplace demands and reduce artificial test behaviour.

Assessment formats may include:

  • Gamified assessment tasks that measure reasoning and decision-making
  • AI-supported interviews that adapt to responses and assess multiple competencies
  • Structured video or audio assessments
  • Multilingual assessment options for broader accessibility

Each format contributes to a structured, comparable assessment outcome.

What does C-Factor AI measure?

The assessments within C-Factor AI focus on capabilities that matter in real work settings. These include how individuals approach decisions, how they reason through information, and how they respond to practical challenges.

Areas measured typically include:

  • Situational judgement in realistic work scenarios
  • Cognitive ability, including reasoning and problem-solving
  • Aptitude across numerical, verbal, and logical domains
  • Behavioural indicators that show work style and approach

Together, these measures provide a balanced view of capability and potential.

How are assessment results used in decision-making?

C-Factor AI converts assessment results into clear dashboards and structured reports that support hiring, promotion, and development decisions. Results are presented in a way that allows managers and HR teams to compare individuals using the same criteria.

This supports:

  • Consistent hiring and shortlisting decisions
  • Identification of development needs and skills gaps
  • Career progression and internal mobility discussions
  • Succession and leadership planning

What assessment modules are available?

C-Factor AI includes a range of gamified assessment modules that can be configured individually or combined within a broader assessment process.

Aptitude assessments

These assess numerical, inductive, and logical reasoning and provide insight into how individuals process information and solve problems.

Neuroscience-based games

These tasks assess cognitive abilities through interactive challenges, offering a structured snapshot of strengths and preferences.

Behavioural assessment tasks

These place individuals in realistic work situations and assess judgement, prioritisation, and functional decision-making.

Are ready-made or customised assessments available?

Organisations can choose between ready-to-use assessment configurations or customised assessment designs. Ready-made options allow for quick deployment, while customised configurations are built around specific role profiles, competency frameworks, and organisational context.

Customisation ensures assessments reflect real job demands while maintaining consistency and comparability in reporting.
