Digital Human® Assessment Methodology
It was developed not only relying on expertise in psychology, psychodiagnostics, and psychometrics but also drawing from experience in personnel management. The creators of the methodology understand "what HR professionals think" – what they desire and demand from candidates. Therefore, the methodology, in addition to identifying values and career choices, places significant emphasis on Soft Skills.
This methodology enables answers not only to the question of "who to become" but also to the question of "how to build a successful career in the chosen field."
