Overview: Since 2020, Everblue has partnered with a leading federal agency responsible for supporting employee development and advancement through rigorous, highly regulated testing protocols. Twice a year – in March and July – this agency facilitates online exams to evaluate employees for professional advancement opportunities.
Challenge: The client required a secure, ADA-compliant online testing platform that could manage complex exam delivery needs, meet federal regulatory requirements, and scale efficiently for two annual cohorts totaling approximately 100 participants. Each testing window would involve:

- A tight, 4-day testing window with 40–50 applicants per session
- Strict testing protocols
- High-stakes outcomes impacting career progression
The agency needed a partner who could provide a seamless candidate experience, maintain integrity and security throughout the testing process, and offer real-time support and accountability.
