Next Chapter helps organizations bring engaging, structured assessment to more candidates at an affordable cost. Developed by Level Up powered by Agate in collaboration with Anvesana Research Institute, it combines game design and psychometric expertise to support recruitment and talent development.
Its modular approach lets teams choose the assessments they need, from personality and cognitive abilities to workplace decision-making. Organizations can start with a focused assessment and expand its scope as their hiring volume and talent needs grow.
Objective
Make meaningful talent assessment more accessible as organizations scale. For high-volume recruitment and growing talent programs, teams need a practical way to evaluate more people, manage assessment costs, and give candidates an engaging experience.
Solution
Scale Assessment with an Affordable, Modular Approach
Next Chapter brings three assessment types into one product. Teams can select the relevant modules for a role or program and use a consistent assessment approach across candidate cohorts.
- Assess more people affordably: make structured assessment accessible to a wider candidate pool, including high-volume hiring and management trainee recruitment.
- Choose the scope you need: use selected modules or combine them for a broader view of each candidate, keeping assessment scope aligned with the available budget.
- Expand as needs grow: start with a focused use case and extend to other roles, cohorts, or talent development programs.
- Support consistent evaluation: standardized scoring and enterprise-ready reports help HR teams review results across participants.
Personality Assessment
A narrative-driven Big Five assessment explores behavioral tendencies through contextual choices. Candidates engage with situations and decisions that help build a picture of how they approach challenges and interact with others.
Cognitive & Neuro Assessment
Game-based tasks assess abilities such as memory, attention, processing speed, planning, and problem-solving. These activities give teams additional insight into how candidates process information and respond to challenges.
Simulation Assessment
Workplace scenarios explore prioritization, analytical thinking, planning, and decision-making under pressure. Participants make choices in a simulated work setting, helping teams understand how they approach managerial responsibilities.
Reporting for Talent Decisions
Standardized scoring and enterprise-ready reporting bring assessment results into a format HR and business teams can review alongside interviews and other evaluation methods.
Results
Next Chapter offers a modular assessment product for recruitment and talent development, including programs for management trainees, supervisors, managers, and emerging leaders.
The value is broader access to assessment: organizations can evaluate more candidates at an affordable cost, select modules that fit their needs, and expand their assessment programs as they grow. Engaging gameplay, structured scoring, and reporting support that scale while keeping talent decisions in the hands of HR and business teams.
