Pinsight Expert Review, Pricing, Alternatives - 2023

Pinsight uses a combination of artificial intelligence and behavioral science to customize leadership and executive assessments. Based on the results and data collected, the Pinsight App provides a hyper-personalized development plan catered to each individual and the company's needs.

Pinsight is a cloud-based leadership assessment and development solution that’s best suited for medium and large-sized businesses. The platform has three modules: Virtual Assessment Center, SimManager and People Analytics.

The Virtual Assessment Center uses a combination of AI and behavioral science to create pre-hire and promotion assessments that can be taken anywhere, at any time. They include simulation-based assessments with live role-players and human assessors, personality and learning agility tests. Apart from this, the platform allows you to compare candidates against the global benchmark, assess their potential to grow into leadership roles, and evaluate their competency in handling different day-to-day business scenarios. We like that the entire assessment process (from inviting candidates to receiving the results) can be completed within 72 hours.

SimManager allows you to convert your assessment center to their virtual assessment platform. While you get creative control over the content, Pinsight streamlines scoring, automates reporting, and provides AI-backed analytics.

Last but not least, the People Analytics module provides you with valuable insights at the individual and organizational levels. Data collected during live simulations, personality assessments, and agility tests is evaluated to determine an individual's leadership skills, identify high-potential employees and their readiness to take on additional responsibilities. Using this information, you can create a personalized development plan that helps them acquire the skills they need going forward. These plans include daily habit-formation exercises, training sessions, and feedback from mentors and leaders. Managers can track any improvements and progress in real time.

Apart from static assessment reports, Pinsight’s people analytics module also provides customized reporting and group-level reports with insights such as 9-box placement, training needs analysis, bench strength, and more.

Since Pinsight is geared towards leadership development, it isn’t highly necessary for SMBs with under 50 employees and only a handful of upper management positions for them to grow into.
