At Graduated, we believe that hiring shouldn’t be about guesswork, it should be about precision, potential, and purpose. That’s why we’ve partnered with AbilityMap, one of Australia’s leading cognitive and values-based assessment platforms.

We’re here to connect businesses with their top 10% of future talent, the ones who will grow with you, thrive in your environment, and stay for the long haul.

What I really like about AbilityMap is how much it sharpened our recruitment process. Before we started using it, hiring the right sales talent felt like a mix of gut feel and expensive advice from organisational psychologists. AbilityMap gave us a much more practical, data-driven way to assess candidates early on, and it saved us a lot of time and energy we used to waste on applicants who weren’t the right fit. I especially appreciated how easy the platform was to use. The interface is clear and user-friendly, so the team could get on board without too much fuss. Plus, being able to benchmark candidates against specific profiles (like whether someone has a growth mindset or can thrive working remotely) really helped us find people who matched our culture and the expectations of the role. The team are always there to assist and develop my use of the tool, it's felt like a partnership from the start.
