Skill Gauge
Assess smarter. Hire better. Map every skill.
An AI-powered talent assessment and skills intelligence platform that replaces manual screening with adaptive, objective assessments — auto-generated from job descriptions, auto-evaluated by AI, and benchmarked against role calibration data. For HR teams, L&D departments, and recruitment agencies. Customisable by Ortem Technologies.

The Complete Talent Assessment Stack
From generating the assessment to mapping org-wide skills gaps — one platform, no manual work.
AI Assessment Generation
Paste or upload a job description. Skill Gauge generates a full technical and behavioural assessment in under 2 minutes. No manual question authoring required.
Adaptive Question Sequencing
Item Response Theory models adjust difficulty in real time per candidate. Accurate skill percentile scores with 30–40% fewer questions — less drop-off, same precision.
AI Code Review
Submitted code is automatically evaluated for correctness, edge case handling, time/space complexity, code quality, and architectural reasoning. Instant detailed feedback reports.
Org-Wide Skills Matrix
Map assessed competencies across every team and department. Surface gaps against open roles and upcoming project requirements. Prioritise L&D spend on highest-impact gaps.
Anti-Cheating Detection
Browser focus monitoring, copy-paste detection, IP consistency checks, and AI-generated text detection across all written submissions — without intrusive proctoring.
Candidate Benchmarking
Score applicants against a role calibration benchmark and against your existing top-performer baseline for that function — not just raw percentile scores.

What HR Teams Say
"We used to spend 3 hours crafting assessment questions per role. Skill Gauge does it in 2 minutes from the JD. Our time-to-shortlist dropped from 12 days to 4."
Sarah Okonkwo
Head of Talent, Series B SaaS Company
"The adaptive testing means candidates don't drop off — we're seeing 40% higher completion rates than our old fixed-format tests. And the scores are more accurate."
David Park
Recruitment Lead, Staffing Agency
"The org-wide skills matrix exposed three critical gaps on our engineering team we had no idea about. We plugged two with internal upskilling before they became blockers."
Emma Fitzgerald
VP Engineering, FinTech Scale-up
