What Validity Group does

Validity Group is a privately-held Australian-headquartered human capital technology company that operates a four-pillar portfolio: selection assessments (EPOP+, Predictor of Potential / POP, and Screen), Qstream microlearning (a Harvard-developed, spaced-repetition platform sold into sales, healthcare, and compliance verticals), the Easy8 WorkOps platform (a unified project, resource, and operations management system built on Redmine and distributed in partnership with Easy Software), and a Career Management POP assessment plus executive coaching services. The selection assessments use a normative Likert 1-5 methodology with regional benchmarking drawn from decades of validation data, with EPOP+ delivering dynamic multi-role reports across nine roles from a single test and traffic-light suitability scoring. Qstream adds an AI microlearning content generator that converts existing training materials into spaced-repetition Q&A, and Easy8 layers AI-driven workflows over Redmine for project, CRM, HelpDesk, Agile, DevOps, and Finance use cases.

The business operates a hybrid commercial model combining enterprise field sales for large organizations, a self-serve online shopfront for individuals and SMB buyers (with the Career Management POP offered at USD $47.96 as a single-purchase anchor), channel partner and reseller programs, and subscription-based recurring revenue from Qstream and Easy8 plus professional services revenue from coaching engagements. Customer evidence indicates enterprise penetration across highly regulated and complex industries including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, insurance, telecommunications, construction, engineering, and broadcasting, with named logos such as Providence, RTL Radio, Datto, Domestic and General, AECOM, Akamai, AusPost, and ANL. The company holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, integrates natively with major HCM platforms (SAP, Oracle, Workday, BambooHR, Namely, isolved, Talentsoft), and operates across 45+ countries with multi-language assessment delivery.

At scale, Validity reports 3,000+ enterprise clients, 25 million+ assessment users globally, 15,000+ reports delivered daily, 600+ Qstream client organizations, and 50 million+ Qstream questions answered, though no revenue, headcount, or funding data is disclosed in available sources.
