AbilityMap's just been a huge time saver. It’s also meant that those initial hires, which are such a big risk because you need to get them right, have been right so far. It’s the reason we’ve been able to double year on year for the last 3 years running, and we’ll continue to do so.

Faethm used Ability Map experimentally initially, and quickly found the platform so important it became a mandated and core part of all hiring.
Faethm was a multi award-winning SaaS AI business that launched in 2017 and grew to serve clients in 26 countries by the time it was acquired in 2021. To do this we hired a lot of very capable people, globally, fast. Part of this success was our ability to identify the best people to hire, in multiple countries, in a standardised and best practice way. Ability Map was key to doing this.
Aside from the easy use of the product, the sophisticated psych science under the hood and the decentralised and staff-led usage (a key factor in how Ability Map saves leadership and HR time and brings users into the process so they use and believe in the outcome) Ability Map’s services and interactions were outstanding throughout, and the output of assessment became a hugely valuable management, coaching and mentoring tool during employment.
I’m a big fan and I’m delighted to see Ability Map bringing in investors to help it drive scale.
