How it works
Three steps from a vague role description to a defended hire.
Define
Build a job profile from 60+ competencies in 12 test languages — or start from one of our templates.
Assess
Send a 20-minute test by link or email. Candidates take it on their phone. No proctor, no plugin.
Match
See a ranked shortlist with a percentile per competency and a calibrated AI summary. Decide, share, hire.
Built on science, not hunches
Talensar is grounded in 30 years of validated industrial-organizational psychology — adapted, translated, and norm-grouped for African workforces.
Read the methodologyBig-Five-aligned personality model with sub-facets that map to job competencies.
Cognitive battery — numerical, verbal, and abstract reasoning — with controlled difficulty curves.
Open scoring engine: every algorithm version is published, audited quarterly, and reproducible per session.
Everything you need to hire on evidence
Each module is built on the same scoring engine. Nothing is bolted on.
Results vault
Every session lands in a vault — radar chart, per-competency percentile, AI summary, audit trail.
AI summaries
Plain-language explanations of what each score means — for the hiring panel and the candidate.
Job profiles + match
Define what the role really needs in 60+ competencies; rank every candidate against that bar.
Recruiter pipeline
Postings, applications kanban, interview scheduling, offers, and onboarding — one tool.
Partner platform
Webhook subscriptions and proposal flow for ATS and HR-tech partners who need our scores.
Public sharing
Candidates own their results. They share with you — or with the world — at their discretion.

Questions buyers ask
Is the methodology evidence-based?
Yes. Every competency model is grounded in published research and validated on our norm group of 50,000+ sessions across Africa. Algorithm versions are published in /docs/methodology.
How long does it take to set up?
Under an hour. Sign up, create a job profile from a template or build one from competencies, and send the first invite. The first 50 sessions a month are free.
Can candidates take the test on a phone?
Yes. The take-shell is mobile-first. No app to install, no proctor, no plugin. Reliable on throttled 3G — we tested on West African networks specifically.
Is the data private?
Results belong to the candidate, not to you. You see what they take for your organization; they decide what gets shared publicly. Full audit trail; revocable consent.
Do you support French?
Yes. The product is fully bilingual EN/FR — every UI string, every test, every report. AI summaries respect the candidate's language preference.
Can we integrate it with our ATS?
Yes. We expose a partner API + webhooks for ATS and HR-tech vendors. Match results stream to your system in real time; reports come signed and printable.
