Now anyone can write one. Or get AI to do it for them.
That leaves recruiters comparing polished stories, keyword stuffing and machine-written claims — instead of true capability.
iQ changes the question.
Skills-based recruitment has always made sense. What held it back was time, cost and complexity.
Creating bespoke assessments for every role used to be too slow to scale. iQ changes that. In seconds, it generates engaging, role-relevant, timed scenarios that help you assess capability in a fair, consistent and measurable way.
This is the new standard for hiring.
Not intuition. Not CV theatre. Proof.
Forward-thinking employers are already replacing assumption with evidence.
Controlled assessment creates a better hiring experience.
When every candidate responds to the same carefully timed, role-relevant challenges, you create a more consistent and equitable process.
No embellished backstory.
No AI-generated CV doing the heavy lifting.
No advantage for the best self-promoter.
Just a genuine opportunity to show capability.
That is better for recruiters.
Better for candidates.
And better for quality of hire.
iQ puts AI to work for recruitment — not in charge of it.
The problem with modern hiring is not just AI.
It’s where AI is being used.
When an ATS screens an AI-written CV, all it is really doing is assessing one machine’s output against another.
iQ uses AI differently.
To generate relevant scenarios.
To support scoring and insight.
To help recruiters move faster and see more clearly.
But the decision stays human.
Exactly where it should be.
Scientifically structured. Commercially powerful. Introducing the TCSC™ Capability Index.
iQ puts AI to work for recruitment — not in charge of it.
At the heart of iQ is a framework built around four proven dimensions of workplace performance:
How they collaborate, communicate and contribute.
How they solve problems, build trust and deliver outcomes.
How they adapt, take ownership and perform under pressure.
How they align with values, behaviours and ways of working.
Together, these pillars create a far richer picture of hiring potential than any CV ever could.
Read about the scienceBeautifully simple. Powerfully revealing.
iQ is designed to make complex hiring insight easy to understand.
From branded careers pages and mobile applications to candidate scoring and side-by-side comparison, every touchpoint is built to feel intuitive.
The result is instant visibility into who is strongest, where they stand, and why.
Not more recruitment admin.
Better recruitment judgement.
Built for programmatic. Designed for control.
iQ doesn’t just improve who you hire.
It improves how you attract them.
With programmatic advertising built in, you can promote roles intelligently, based on live hiring conditions. When response is low, you can push harder. When quality is high, you can ease off. When the right candidates are coming through, you stop wasting spend.
And because iQ measures candidate quality in real time, your media investment can follow suitability — not just volume.
Smarter targeting.
Less waste. Better results.
Everything you expect from an enterprise ATS. Plus the one thing no other platform has.
iQ gives you the workflows, reporting, permissions, dashboards, talent pooling, onboarding and user control you would expect from an enterprise-grade ATS.
But it goes much further.
It turns recruitment into an evidence-led process — one that helps you hire better people, reduce mis-hires and create stronger teams.
This is not software that simply manages recruitment.
It elevates it.
Because the best employers should look beyond your CV.
iQ is the recruitment platform that helps companies assess what you can actually do — not just how well you write about yourself. That means a fairer, more engaging way to apply, and a better chance to show your real strengths.
A better way to be seen.
iQ uses skills-based recruitment to give candidates a more meaningful opportunity to prove themselves.
Instead of relying only on your employment history, job titles or how polished your CV looks, iQ presents realistic scenarios and role-relevant questions that show how you think, judge and respond.
It is designed to focus on whether you can do the job — and whether the job is right for you.
So your application becomes more than a form.
It becomes a fairer reflection of your potential.
Applying should teach you something.
One of the most frustrating parts of recruitment is hearing nothing back — or getting rejected without understanding why.
iQ is built to improve that.
Where AI is used, it is used to support the human process, not replace it. That means clearer feedback, more useful insight and a better understanding of where you performed strongly and where you could improve.
So even when you do not get the role, you leave with something valuable.
That is how recruitment should work.
You should not have to impress a robot.
Too many hiring systems now use AI to scan, filter and judge applications that were often written with AI in the first place.
That is not fair.
And it is not human.
iQ takes a different approach. It focuses on your judgement, your responses and your ability — not on whether your CV matches a machine’s preferred pattern.
It is a more human way to recruit.
And a better way to be recognised.
A better application tells you something too.
With iQ, applying for a role is not just about being assessed.
It is also about discovering whether the role genuinely fits you.
Because the process is built around realistic, job-relevant situations, you gain a clearer sense of the challenges, expectations and style of the role before you join.
That makes the whole experience more honest, more useful and more respectful of your time.
If more companies recruited this way, more people would end up in the right jobs.
