Core offering

Harrison Assessments sells a cloud-based talent management platform anchored by the SmartQuestionnaire, a 20–30 minute assessment that measures 175 distinct workplace traits and feeds job-specific predictive analytics for hiring, leadership development, employee engagement, succession planning, and organizational analytics. The platform is built on proprietary Paradox Technology for measuring contradictory behavioral trait pairs and uses deception detection (approximately 250,000 consistency calculations) and customizable Job Success Formulas to predict candidate fit, retention, and performance for enterprise HR customers.

Product overview

Harrison Assessments is a cloud-based talent management platform with multiple integrated modules for the complete employee lifecycle. The core technology is the SmartQuestionnaire which measures 175 distinct workplace traits in approximately 25 minutes. Key products include Paradox Technology for identifying contradictory behavioral trait pairs, Job Success Formulas for job-specific predictive scoring, and Custom Assessments for tailored evaluation criteria. The platform is organized around four main solution areas: Talent Acquisition (automated selection with predictive data and interview guides), Talent Development (engagement and retention factor identification), Leadership Development (paradox-based leadership assessments), and Employee Engagement (career fulfillment and expectation measurement). Additional modules include Organizational Analytics with interactive dashboards, Remote Workforce Analytics with specific behavioral competencies, Succession Planning for talent pipeline management, and Performance Benchmarking. The system is available in 42 languages across 70 countries, with API Integration available for enterprise customers.
