Evidence-led assessment research

Employer Game-Based Assessment Guides

Find your employer or programme to see what is officially confirmed, what candidates report, and which games or assessment formats are worth practising.

Research reviewed 22 July 2026

How to read the evidence

Assessment formats can vary by programme, country and recruitment cycle. These guides do not treat reported game lists as guaranteed.

Officially confirmed

Supported by a current employer or assessment-provider source.

Candidate reported

Supported by contextual candidate reports, but not officially confirmed.

Not publicly confirmed

The reviewed official material does not name the provider, game or sequence.

Varies or may have changed

Current sources conflict with older material or the process differs by scope.

Each guide states its exact programme, role, region and evidence limits before recommending practice.

Employer not listed?

Start with the provider named in your invitation

A HireVue video interview does not automatically mean the employer uses HireVue games, and another assessment provider may appear in the same recruitment process.

From evidence to practice

Prepare for the assessment in your invitation

Use the relevant employer guide to choose the right formats, then move from individual practice to a timed sequence when you are ready.
