An authentic assessment experience

  • Realistic recruitment simulations

We’ll devise and deliver group tasks, interviews, and presentation tasks that mirror real-life graduate recruitment processes. Our partnerships with top graduate employers ensure your students will be as familiar as possible with true assessment centre formats.

  • A low-stakes environment

Our mock assessment centres are an opportunity for students to practise, make mistakes, get feedback and learn from real recruiters without any of the pressure, helping them feel ready to take on the real thing.

  • Inclusive by design

Reasonable adjustments are available as standard in all our assessment centre experiences. Seamlessly factor in extra time, alternative formats, or 1:1 support where it’s needed, ensuring full participation for all students.

Measurable impact, meaningful outcomes

  • Personalised support at scale

Students get real-time feedback and full feedback reports the next-day. Our assessments align with key employer requirements, giving students a full breakdown of their core strengths and areas for improvement.

  • Smart performance tracking

See how your students are performing against primary metrics and industry benchmarks. Our evaluation reports make it easy for you to identify development areas, with customisable scoring criteria and objective reporting.

Embed our experiences and make careers support an essential aspect of your curriculum. Use assessment centres as credited or compulsory components of academic modules, with university staff as facilitators to strengthen learning outcomes.

Having assessment centres within the curriculum, as well as the reputation and professionalism Gradcore deliver, helps me going into that room with a stronger negotiating arm to be able to find that space in the curriculum for embedded employability and personal development.”
