About
Thomas International is a comprehensive talent intelligence platform that merges decades of people science with modern AI to transform how organisations recruit, develop, and retain talent. At its core, Thomas Assess delivers world-class psychometric assessments — including the Workplace Personality profile (HPTI), the Behaviour assessment (PPA based on DISC theory), an Aptitude assessment (GIA) for measuring fluid intelligence, and Emotional Intelligence evaluations (TEIQue) — giving HR teams and hiring managers deep, evidence-backed insights into candidates and employees. Built on top of the assessment layer is Thomas Connect, the platform's AI-powered connection engine featuring 'Thom,' an AI coach designed to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and drive team performance. Thom uses people science to surface personalised coaching that fosters psychological safety, manager-employee trust, and meaningful collaboration across the organisation. Additional capabilities include 360-degree feedback tools, accredited assessment programmes, and the Thomas Connection Index — a tailored benchmarking report that reveals team sentiment and engagement. Together, these tools support the full employee lifecycle: from confident hiring and seamless onboarding to talent mobility, leadership development, and succession planning. Thomas is trusted by large enterprises and fast-scaling businesses alike that need reliable, science-backed people data to make better talent decisions.
