Centralization Enhances Efficiency, Overall Talent Management

Q: How is MIDOT positioned in the talent assessment market, and what makes your approach unique?

A: We are a global company present in more than 30 countries, with over 15 years of experience in Latin America. Our mission is to help organizations identify and develop talent while fostering a culture of integrity and honesty. We achieve this through scientifically validated assessments that measure honesty, integrity, reliability, and psychometric traits.

Our primary differentiator is the comprehensive support we provide. Beyond offering standardized tests, we deliver end-to-end consulting before and after implementation, supported by expert psychologists. This ensures organizations make the right hiring and development decisions, rather than relying on transactional or generic solutions.

Q: How does MIDOT ensure the scientific rigor and reliability of its solutions, especially compared to traditional methods or unvalidated tools?

A: Scientific validation is the foundation of our work. Our R&D office employs psychologists who design and validate every assessment, ensuring accuracy and cultural adaptability across markets. We invest millions annually in research, integrating AI to customize tests to linguistic and regional nuances. Our processes are backed by ISO 27001 certification, underscoring both scientific and data security standards.

This rigor makes our solutions more reliable and accessible than traditional methods like polygraphs, which are intrusive, costly, and stressful. Unlike free online tests, our tools are scientifically developed and globally recognized, providing organizations with the credibility and accuracy required when evaluating integrity, honesty, and professional reliability.

Q: How does the PODIUM platform support a comprehensive evaluation process, from mass testing to decision-making?

A: Our HR Tech platform, PODIUM, centralizes all evaluations, positions, candidates, and employees into one system. It provides HR teams and decision-makers with full visibility, enabling seamless collaboration across stakeholders. PODIUM can integrate with ATS or HR management systems via API, ensuring a unified candidate and employee journey. This centralization reduces redundancy, enhances efficiency, and improves overall talent management.

Q: How is MIDOT incorporating AI and advanced technology into its solutions?

A: Founded over 40 years ago, MIDOT has evolved from paper-based evaluations to fully digital platforms. We were early adopters of AI, making us a native AI company in HR Tech. Our expertise ensures that assessments remain accurate, validated, and continuously updated. While new competitors emerge, our combination of scientific rigor, consultative support, and long-term client partnerships — often lasting five to 10 years — sets us apart.

Q: How have you achieved an 85% reliability rate for online assessments, especially in remote hiring contexts?

A: The pandemic accelerated secure remote hiring. We implemented AI-powered proctoring with facial recognition, capturing random images during assessments to confirm candidate identity. This technology prevents fraud, ensures authenticity, and maintains reliability even when talent pools are geographically dispersed.

Q: How do you tailor solutions for diverse sectors like banking, retail, and outsourcing?

A: Each sector requires a distinct approach. In banking and finance, compliance mandates annual integrity assessments and rigorous executive evaluations. In retail and logistics, high turnover demands fast, scalable tools that deliver immediate results. For outsourcing, our assessments evaluate all placed talent, aligning with client HR processes. Each solution is tailored to industry needs while maintaining scientific precision.

Q: How do you customize evaluations for different roles and organizational levels?

A: We design assessments specific to functions and hierarchical levels, recognizing that ethical decision-making expectations differ across operational, administrative, commercial, and executive positions. Our consulting team ensures that each evaluation aligns with the responsibilities and challenges of the role, delivering precise, actionable insights.

Q: How does MIDOT support organizations in building integrity-based cultures?

A: Our mission is to promote honesty, trust, and integrity within organizations. Embedding these values in hiring and development generates a positive cycle: improved workplace climate, employee well-being, higher productivity, profitability, and stronger reputational value. Organizations that prioritize integrity are better positioned to attract and retain top talent.

Q: How do you continuously evaluate employees in changing work environments such as remote or hybrid models?

A: Remote and hybrid work highlighted the importance of ongoing evaluations. Employees’ performance and behaviors can evolve due to personal or professional circumstances. Our assessments help organizations track these changes over time, ensuring alignment with company values and guiding decisions on support, role adjustments, or development. Regular monitoring ensures that evaluations reflect employees’ current capacities and context rather than outdated assumptions.

Q: How is the adoption of AI-driven assessments evolving in Mexico and Latin America compared to other regions?

A: Adoption has steadily increased over the past 15 years. Initially driven by multinationals, now even SMEs in Mexico and across Latin America are implementing AI-driven assessments. Remote and hybrid models accelerated this trend as organizations seek to verify identities, prevent fraud, and protect reputations.

Although Latin America is slightly behind the United States and the European Union, countries such as Peru, Colombia, and Chile are rapidly catching up. MIDOT is at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring organizations in the region have access to scalable, efficient, and scientifically rigorous HR processes.

Q: What are MIDOT’s strategic priorities and plans for Latin America in the next couple of years?

A: The post-pandemic HR Tech surge has placed automation and AI at the center of HR agendas. Our priority is to expand adoption across Latin America, integrating automation and AI-driven evaluations to streamline recruitment and talent management. By doing so, we aim to reduce time-to-hire, improve efficiency, and strengthen competitiveness in regional labor markets.

Q: What distinguishes MIDOT’s approach to HR Tech and talent evaluation?

A: Our approach combines advanced technology with human-centered values. Many HR Tech solutions focus solely on efficiency; we integrate ethical assessment and integrity into every solution. This balance ensures that organizations not only operate efficiently but also cultivate cultures of trust, protect their reputations, and attract top talent.
