Safety-critical roles demand verified hires.
Fabricated engineering credentials are more common than most hiring managers realise. Assessely uses AI fraud detection to verify every hire before a project depends on them.
Assessely is a smart HR platform for Australian engineering businesses that combines hiring assessments, reference checks with fraud detection, and employee retention surveys in one place.
THE CHALLENGE
The hiring and retention challenges engineering businesses face every day.
Qualifications must be verified, not assumed
Fabricated engineering credentials are more common than most hiring managers realise. AI verification catches what manual checks miss before someone takes on safety-critical work. Engineers Australia, RPEQ, NER and CPEng all need to be verified, not assumed.
Project delays from wrong hires are expensive
One underqualified hire on a project team creates bottlenecks that cost far more than a thorough hiring process. Rework, missed milestones, and reputational damage with the client add up fast.
Long projects amplify engineer attrition
Losing a project engineer six months into an 18-month build is brutal. The replacement needs to come up to speed mid-stream, knowledge walks out the door, and the client notices the slowdown. Retention matters more in engineering than most sectors.
THE SOLUTION
How Assessely solves it.
Reference checks with credential verification
Thorough verification for every engineering hire with AI fraud detection. Fabricated qualifications flagged before they reach the project.
Engineers Australia, RPEQ and NER tracking
Capture and verify Engineers Australia membership, CPEng status, RPEQ registration, NER inclusion, and state-specific licences. Track renewal dates so nobody works unregistered.
Technical assessments
Role-specific assessments that test real engineering knowledge, judgement, and safety awareness. Built for civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines.
Project-team pulse surveys
Monitor team morale on long-running projects. Catch the friction, fatigue, and misaligned expectations that drive engineers off projects mid-build.
eNPS tracking
Measure loyalty across project teams and catch retention risks early. Particularly important for FIFO and remote-site engineering teams.
Exit interviews
Understand why engineers leave before it costs you another project timeline. Honest data on pay, leadership, project mix, and career progression.
HOW IT WORKS
Up and running in minutes.
Assess technical competency
Role-specific assessments that test real engineering knowledge, judgement, and safety thinking before interview time is invested.
Verify credentials with AI fraud detection
AI-powered verification that catches fabricated qualifications, mismatched registration, and inconsistent CVs before they become a liability.
Retain engineers across long projects
Pulse surveys and eNPS by project team to spot disengagement before someone walks halfway through a build.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers for engineering teams considering Assessely.
Yes. Engineers Australia membership, CPEng status, RPEQ registration for Queensland, NER inclusion, and any state-specific licences are captured and stored against each engineer. Renewal dates are tracked.
When a referee responds, the AI checks email domain, response timing, language patterns, and consistency with what the candidate said about scope and dates. Suspicious references are flagged for human review before sign-off. The system also flags CV-to-referee discrepancies.
Assessely runs on AWS with encryption at rest and in transit. Candidate records and credential evidence are protected with strict access controls.
Premium is $199 a month for full features. Reference checks $1 per referee, credential and compliance checks $1 each. Most consultancies running steady project hiring sit under $400 a month.
Candidate names, demographic markers, and education sources are stripped before AI evaluation. Scores are produced against the technical and judgement criteria you define. Human reviewers always make the final call.
Most engineering consultancies are running their first verified hire within the first week. Migrating staff and contractor records from spreadsheets typically takes a day or two with our team to help.
