Including the awkward ones. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Psychometric Studio B.V. (KvK 42058391) was founded and is led by Karina Olivier, an industrial and organisational psychologist and psychometrist with a master's degree in I/O psychology and more than a decade in assessment, including over four years as principal consultant and team lead for BeNeLux and DACH at a major international talent consultancy.
Assessment centres and executive work are supported by a small team of hand picked psychologist associates. The Studio is an official distribution partner for Podium and Psytech in BeNeLux and DACH, and is listed as a partner by Podium.
It is a fair question, and the business is deliberately built so the answer is no. Three structural facts matter here.
First, the platform, instruments and data belong to the publishers, not to us. Podium is an ISO 27001 certified company; Psytech processes EU data on Microsoft Azure servers in Ireland. Second, our in-house model certifies your own team to run assessments independently, so your assessment operation does not depend on any one person, including ours. Third, delivery capacity for assessment centres and executive work comes from a network of psychologist associates, not a single calendar.
What the Studio adds is judgement, regional support and design craft. The infrastructure underneath is enterprise grade and continues regardless. Boutique on top, enterprise underneath, by design.
Nothing happens to it. Candidate assessment data lives on the publishers' platforms, never on Psychometric Studio systems. Your organisation is the data controller, Podium and Psytech are the processors, and your access to your platform, results and reports continues uninterrupted.
Assessment usage is credit based: each assessment consumes credits, and the rate per credit decreases with volume. Training, certification and bespoke work are priced separately, so you only pay for what you use.
We give a concrete quote after a short scoping call, and send sample reports before it, so you know exactly what you are buying. You can see the reports themselves on the Resources page right now.
Yes. Professional standards require that occupational psychometric tests are selected, administered and interpreted by qualified test users. The training is BPS verified and aligned to EFPA Level 1 and 2 standards, and runs fully online at your own pace.
If your team already holds EFPA or BPS qualifications, we verify them and grant access without retraining. Until your team is certified, we can run assessments for you as a managed service.
Yes, in two ways. If your organisation is headquartered in BeNeLux or DACH, we can serve your entire account globally, wherever your operations run. And bespoke assessment design and consulting work has no territorial limit at all: recent projects span from the Netherlands to South Africa.
Pure platform distribution outside the region is referred to the right regional partner, which protects you as much as us.
No. The standard test integrity layers are behavioural and involve no biometric data: a Confidence Score built from screen focus, timing and clipboard patterns, plus behavioural analytics. Facial validation exists as a per project option for high stakes testing, is off by default on EU projects, and is only used where it is lawful, proportionate and disclosed to candidates before testing begins.
A managed project can usually start within days of the scoping call. For in-house setups the timeline depends on certification: teams with existing EFPA or BPS qualifications can be live about as fast as the platform setup takes, while teams starting the training set their own pace, since it runs fully online.
Consulting, training and candidate debriefs run in English and German, with Dutch support when needed. The assessments and reports themselves are available in more than seventeen languages with flexible norms, so one process can serve stakeholders across Europe and beyond.
Yes. You bring your competency model, leadership framework or values. We map each element to the scales that measure it, build a deterministic report engine with narrative written by psychologists in your language, and deploy it inside your own Podium environment. Typically live within three to four weeks.
With an order of 5,000 credits or more the build is on us; below that a modest build fee applies. You own your framework and your data, and only your organisation can access your report. How custom reports work.
No. Scoring is deterministic and every narrative line is authored by occupational psychologists; the same input always produces the same output. AI tools speed up our build process but never score a person or write their report. That matters for EU AI Act and GDPR Article 22 compliance when reports support hiring decisions.
