Hi, we're Test Partnership

We're a team of business psychologists, developers and marketers in London, providing psychometric assessments for hiring. Read on to learn about our story and see the faces behind the tests.

We didn't start out on this side of the assessment process

In 2010, our team was running a practice platform, writing tests that helped tens of thousands of candidates a year prepare for online assessments.

It turns out that's a good place to learn what assessments are really like for the people taking them. We saw which ones measured something meaningful and which were just hurdles. And because writing practice material meant studying everything on the market, we saw a lot of it...

The longer we looked, the harder it was to ignore where others were falling short

Some providers relied on methods the research had long moved past, some built assessments that were technically sound but miserable to sit, and many had become faceless organisations offering little real support.

At some point, noticing stopped being enough. We knew what good assessments looked like, and we were better placed than most to make them.

So we built our own

Our in-house business psychologists, developers and marketers built our assessments and platform from the ground up, around principles that still guide us today: Scientifically rigorous, proven to predict what matters, efficient to complete, fair to candidates, backed by people who genuinely understand them.

It's why we care about completion rates as much as reliability coefficients, and why we judge an assessment by how it performs with real candidates rather than how it reads in a technical manual.

And when AI began to undermine online testing, we built MindmetriQ™ – an AI-resistant format held to the same psychometric standards as everything else we publish.

Where we are now

We started by helping candidates. Since then we've helped thousands of organisations make hiring decisions they can stand behind, with assessments candidates find fair and a team that picks up the phone.

Since 2010

Designing and delivering talent assessments

6,000+

Companies helped since our inception

Every assessment is made in-house to BPS guidelines and published with the evidence behind it: reliability, validity, fairness. Candidate data is handled in line with GDPR, CCPA and PIPEDA.

Some of the organisations we work with:

  • Houlihan Lokey logo
  • Eversheds Sutherland logo
  • Vitality logo

Through it all, our core belief hasn't changed:

Better assessments make hiring better for everyone on both sides of the screen.
