H.A.I.R - Building in Public, Week 19

Hello H.A.I.R fans

It's been a busy old week in the H.A.I.R Community, so I wanted to send you all my regular update.

genAssess

I'm adding a space into my 'building in public' journey to give some 'behind the scenes' on genAssess.

For the last few months, myself and a couple of co-founders have been working on this side project in earnest.

Haven't yet found out about genAssess? You can take a look at the LinkedIn page here: genAssess - Launching January 2025

So, what have we been up to:

• Honing the Pitch: Refined the genAssess pitch, focusing on the benefits of AI skills assessments for both recruitment and internal L&D. This includes a clear explanation of how the tool will be used, what problem it solves, and the return on investment for companies.
• Securing Pilots for 2025: We’ve started securing pilots, with our first pilot already confirmed begin in early 2025. This positions us for real-world feedback and further product development, ensuring we’re ready for broader market deployment.

We've realised how well the value prop is sitting with TA leaders in Legal, Professional Services and Consulting - especially in regards to Grad Assessment Centres.

Personal Branding Challenge for Conversation Designers

Bit of a cross-post here, but I know a fair few Conversation Designers are also subscribers. So, if you are looking to boost your personal brand as a Conversation Designer and haven't yet signed up to my 25-day challenge, which starts today, then make sure you do. It's a ridiculously small investment of £11.37 (which is about $14.50).

That's all for now, folks.

Looking forward to seeing you join the community and taking part in the conversation around AI in HR.
