An alternative to Versant: assess more than just language

See comparison table
My previous employer used Versant and I couldn’t trust the results. When I switched jobs, I wanted an assessment that measures comprehension, not just language. HiringBranch was it and more!

Hiringbranch and Versant by Pearson Differences

HiringBranch combines language and soft skills testing inside job mock scenarios - plus scenarios are open-ended tasks for 4X more reliable results than Versant’s multiple choice questions.
