“PROGOS Online Test Monitoring” officially released for all corporate customers now.
PROGOS Inc. (hereafter, “PROGOS”), the subsidiary of EdTech company RareJob, Inc. (hereafter, “RareJob”), has officially released PROGOS Online Test Monitoring, a function to monitor the status of the PROGOS® AI business speaking test, now offered on a large scale to all corporate customers.
Background
Since its launch in June 2020, PROGOS® AI business speaking test has been widely used by companies and universities in Japan and abroad as a tool to measure and visualize English speaking skill. 420,000 people had taken the test as of May 2023, and it has been used for corporate human resource development training, recruitment activities, and university testing. Many users find PROGOS® valuable, as the test can be taken anytime, anywhere, and the scoring results can be returned in as little as 2-3 minutes after the 20-minute test.
In recent years, we have received many requests about the “validity of test results” because of the increasing number of applications such as corporate training and examinations for promotion. We expect that the need for fair evaluation based on more valid test results will continue to increase, especially in situations directly related to career development such as examinations for determining salary increases and promotions, and personnel selection examinations.
Therefore, PROGOS® has been developing functions to provide more reliable results for the PROGOS®. Now, the highly reliable PROGOS Online Test Monitoring hybrid of AI and human resources, has been officially released for corporate customers, making it possible to handle large scale testing.

PROGOS Online Test Monitoring can be used without sacrificing the convenience of taking the tests.
