Development and next steps Talent Portal

The development of a digital platform was not new to NOA, two versions of NOA Online preceded the Talent Portal. However, in the development of Talent Portal, it was decided at a certain point to also do the software development side completely ourselves, without an external partner, with its own software developers.

"We are a psychological consultancy with a lot of experience in psychological tests, but now we have also become software developers, which is something new. My task as project leader was to manage the development process and determine priorities, always from the vision of the end user. There are many stakeholders who want all kinds of things, but the question is always: is it important for users and candidates? At the end of the development process, the time came when all NOA tests had to be transferred. That was an intensive period: migrating, manually installing and adjusting, then testing and checking whether everything works. That was immediately a highlight!" Sjoerd Pieters, Project Manager NOA Talent Portal

From January 2024, the first customers will be able to start using Talent Portal. Administrators will therefore receive training with instructions on the design and possibilities of the platform. And of course there are supporting videos and documents.

Switching to the new platform can be done within an existing annual support agreement. So no double costs will be charged for this. However, the pricing structure for test administration in the new platform will be adjusted, with no separate costs for reports being charged. Everything is included in the test price.

Customers will be approached by NOA in the course of 2024 and supported in the switch.
