How a leading European university scaled secure Versant assessments remotely

As hiring volumes grew across technical and business functions, one of the world’s leading IT services and consulting organizations needed a faster, more scalable way to evaluate talent without compromising hiring quality. 

Manual screening and interviewer bandwidth were slowing recruitment at scale.

A leading public research university in Italy needed to deliver English proficiency assessments at scale while maintaining test integrity and standardized testing conditions.

As Pearson’s remote proctoring partner for Versant assessments, we integrated our AI-powered proctoring into the university’s existing assessment workflow. 

Centralized session management, automated reports with integrity flags, and configurable workflows enabled secure remote testing across multiple sessions. It also reduced manual coordination and dependency on physical test centers.

The impact speaks for itself: More than 45,000 assessments were delivered remotely over the three-year engagement period, with annual volumes increasing from 10,000 to 15,000 in 2025. 

The solution also enabled multi-session delivery, streamlined retest workflows, and maintained a one-year audit trail for assessment records.
