Answers to frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about using Applysia.
What is Applysia?
Applysia is an HR software for digital personnel selection and personnel development - with a focus on assessment and development centers & interviews. Our product team concentrates on the continuous development of the software so that our customers can benefit from efficient, valid and professional HR processes.
What interfaces does the Applysia software consist of?
Our software is made up of 3 interfaces.
Assessments and templates are created and accounts are managed in the administration interface. After the assessment, you receive data-based insights into your processes and can create automated results reports.
In the observer interface, the observers evaluate the candidates during the assessment.
Using the candidate interface, documents, media files, questionnaires and tests can be shared with candidates before and during the assessment to ensure an interactive assessment experience.
How much does the software change with updates?
The basic structure of our software remains the same - only individual features change, which can sometimes be larger and sometimes smaller. When new features are developed, the interface may change. In the event of major changes, we send out updates via email with our Insider and also explain the new features in regular release notes on the blog. Thanks to our user-centered software development, getting used to the new features takes no time at all.
Is there a support team that can be contacted in the event of difficulties?
Yes, we have a support team that will quickly assist and advise you with any problems. We also have a support portal that contains up-to-date and detailed instructions on how to use our software and can be accessed at any time. In addition, the 5-minute introductory video in the support portal makes it easier to use the software. Bernd the Observer folder, our ChatBot, is also available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have.
Is it possible to implement your own procedures with Applysia?
With Applysia, you use software that supports you in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of assessment centers.

If you also want to carry out and evaluate assessment centers without an internet connection, our native iPad app offers the ideal solution. Assessments can be downloaded here and then carried out offline. You can download the iPad app free of charge from the App Store.
Can I continue to use the data after the assessment?

Handwritten and typed notes can also be downloaded as PDF files and are freely available to you. In addition, the automated results report can be exported as a PDF or Microsoft Word file for further processing as required.
