The HR industry has long been rooted in established practices. However, evolving workforce dynamics and changing demands call for a technology-first approach. Assessio is disrupting traditional HR methods by integrating behavioral science with cutting-edge AI technology, enabling organizations to make smarter, data-driven talent decisions that optimize recruitment, retention, and employee development.

“As a company, we have the financial backing and expertise in scaling from Pollen Street Capital, along with the technology, data, and capacity to fundamentally change the way talent management is approached. Behavioral science, technology, and AI are key drivers in this rapid transformation.”
The Power of Data: Predicting Success and Boosting Retention
A key differentiator for Assessio is its ability to leverage data to predict employee performance, potential, and long-term retention. In today’s fiercely competitive labor market, Assessio helps organizations optimize talent acquisition, reduce staff turnover, and increase revenue by ensuring employees are placed in roles where they can thrive.
Mikkel Lundø continues:
“Data is a game changer. It’s not just about more robust assessments; it’s about using our deep data in the HR tech landscape and enhancing its impact with AI. This ensures that employees are placed in roles where they succeed and that the insights are used to develop talent and build high-performing teams that deliver real business results.”
Strategic Investment Drives Aggressive Market Expansion
Assessio is scaling its technology-driven approach to talent management, having already expanded across Europe and into new markets. The company’s investment is allowing it to grow rapidly and solidify its position as a leader in the HR tech space.
Anastasia Kovaleva, Partner at Pollen Street Capital, says:

Their ability to predict performance and retention through science-backed analytics is a game-changer for businesses looking to build and sustain high-performing teams. We are excited to support Assessio as they expand into more markets and sectors, such as Germany, and introduce solutions to private equity and executive search industries.”
A New Era for HR
The addition of Mikkel Lundø as CRO will be pivotal to Assessio’s growth. With his extensive track record in driving revenue growth, scaling commercial models, and leading large teams, Mikkel will help sharpen Assessio’s competitive edge in the rapidly evolving HR tech landscape.
“This is an exciting time for Assessio,” Mikkel concludes. “We’re not just optimizing hiring processes. We are redefining how organizations think about talent, from recruitment to retention and beyond.”
