With your own team
You take a license and run projects with your own assessors. HRQ prepares your assessors at the start of the project.
For HR teams that want an in-house assessment team.
HRQ Lens: the assessment center, now digital
We moved the assessment center we have run in the field for years into our own software. The candidate lives through a slice of the job, assessors rate without seeing each other, and the report comes out of the consensus reached in calibration.
Calibration
| Competency | D1 | D2 | Consensus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Influencing | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Planning and prioritizing | 3 | 5 | awaiting consensus |
| Analytical thinking | 4 | 3 | 4 |
| Team management | 2 | 4 | awaiting consensus |
The report opens once consensus is reached on 2 competencies.
Why we wrote our own software
The evidence ends up scattered
In Türkiye, assessment centers still mostly run on a consultant, spreadsheets and video calls. Observation notes and ratings sit in separate files, so the evidence behind a decision is hard to find later.
Global tools do not localize
Global assessment tools are expensive, and their competency models do not adapt to how organizations in Türkiye name their roles and behaviors.
We wrote the methodology ourselves
We know the methodology best, so we wrote the exercises, the behavioral indicators and the assessor guides ourselves. HRQ Lens ships with 32 ready exercises across 10 exercise types.
What happens in a project
Design
You choose the competencies for the role and link each one to exercises. A project cannot open until every competency is measured in at least 2 exercises.
Candidate
The candidate works through a live simulation with an inbox, a calendar, messaging and information gathering. Each project runs in Turkish or English.
Assessor
2 assessors rate each candidate separately, and every rating is linked to an observation note. Ratings stay blind until calibration.
Report
In calibration the assessors agree on a single consensus rating for each competency. The report opens only after approval.

Two ways to work
Use HRQ Lens with your own team or let HRQ run the project. The methodology and the report are the same either way.
HRQ runs it Consulting account
The HRQ team handles the design, the assessment and the calibration, and you receive the approved report.
For organizations without their own assessment team.
Three lines we hold
Every screen in the product works by these three rules.
Evidence comes first
A rating that is not linked to an observation note is not saved.
Observers are independent
Assessors do not see each other’s ratings. Consensus is built in calibration.
AI does not rate candidates
AI does not rate, rank or eliminate candidates. It suggests drafts, and a person makes the decision.
Personal data. The consent text, the retention period and periodic deletion are built into the product. Data is stored on servers in the United Kingdom, and encrypted backups are kept in the European Union. The client is the data controller.
Modules beside the assessment center
Modules are added as you need them. All of them connect to the same employee record.
Recruitment
Tracks open positions and candidates in one flow linked to the assessment center.
Onboarding
Plans a new hire’s first weeks, with steps and owners.
Training tracking
Records the training each employee takes and whether it is complete.
Development plan
Links assessment findings to personal development goals.
Complaints and suggestions
Records employee complaints and suggestions and follows them up.
One employee record
Frequently asked questions
How is the price set?
HRQ Lens is priced with per-candidate credits. We work out the quote with you in a call, based on the size of the project.
Can we add our own exercises?
Yes. You can add your own exercises, and HRQ’s original exercises stay unchanged.
In which language do candidates work?
The language is set per project. Candidates work in Turkish or English.
Do you train assessors?
Yes. At the start of the project we run a short preparation session with your assessors. There is no separate program in the Academy catalog.
Where is our data kept?
Data is stored on servers in the United Kingdom, and encrypted backups are kept in the European Union. The client is the data controller.
How is it different from HRQ’s consulting service?
The methodology is the same. HRQ Lens carries it into software that keeps the evidence and the report in one place. If you prefer, the HRQ team runs the project for you.
