Shamrock Industries

Differentiator

Platform that is marketed using all the common hype terms, including coining a new term - "micro assessments". A large number of assessment types are offered, but the company does not provide any substance to demonstrate expertise.

Analyst's Take

Shamrock is differentiated by the lack of information about how their products were created and what they actually do. Shamrock does offer a full range of assessments that cover the bases of contemporary assessments (gamified assessment, video interviews, personality). However, Shamrock's methodologies are unclear and their marketing is heavy on buzzwords. Shamrock does not have a visible market presence, and this combined with their lack of substance - does not position them for significant growth.
