We’re proud to share that MeasureUp has won the 2026 International e-Assessment Award for Best Workplace or Talent Assessment Project for iTalentUp, our AI-driven, skills-based assessment platform for technical hiring.
This is an important milestone for our team and a meaningful recognition of the work we have done to help organisations assess talent in a more objective, efficient, and skills-focused way.
A recognition of real impact
What makes this award especially meaningful is that it recognises not only innovation, but impact.
iTalentUp was created to help organisations improve the way they identify technical talent by moving beyond CV-based screening and focusing on real capabilities. By combining skills-based assessment, adaptive testing, and automated candidate ranking, the platform helps employers evaluate candidates earlier and more effectively across technical knowledge, programming ability, problem-solving, cognitive aptitude, and language proficiency.
In a live implementation with Media Interactiva, iTalentUp helped deliver a 35% reduction in time-to-hire, a 40% reduction in recruitment costs, and a 25% improvement in candidate-job fit. It also contributed to a more transparent, fair, and consistent hiring process.
“Winning this award is an important milestone for MeasureUp and a strong validation of our vision for skills-based assessment,” said Sam Brocal, CEO of MeasureUp. “With iTalentUp, we are helping organisations make better hiring decisions by focusing on real capabilities, not assumptions. In technical recruitment, that translates into better outcomes for employers and candidates alike.”
Looking at the bigger picture
This recognition also comes at an important moment in MeasureUp’s growth.
Since 1997, MeasureUp has helped learners, professionals, certification providers, training organisations, and enterprises improve outcomes in certification, hiring, and workforce development through digital assessment and certification readiness solutions.
Today, MeasureUp serves customers in 180+ countries, with 10M+ tests taken and 8.2M+ trained students worldwide.
As we continue to grow, we are expanding not only our talent assessment capabilities through iTalentUp, but also our broader portfolio through initiatives such as MeasureUp Alliance, our end-to-end program designed to help certification providers scale readiness globally with exam-realistic practice tests, analytics, and an integrity-first approach.
What comes next
This award is a proud moment for our team, but it is also a motivation to keep moving forward.
The demand for better, more measurable, and more relevant assessment continues to grow, both in hiring and in certification. At MeasureUp, we remain committed to building solutions that help organisations make smarter decisions, improve outcomes, and create more opportunities through trusted digital assessment.
We are grateful to our team, partners, and customers for being part of this journey.
And we are even more excited about what comes next.
