Idiots notice person being evaluated (8)

I believe the answer is:

assessee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'person being evaluated' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'idiots notice' is the wordplay.
'idiots' becomes 'asses' (I've seen this before).
'notice' becomes 'see' (notice can mean to spot or see).
'asses'+'see'='ASSESSEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for assessee that I've seen is " Tax-payer".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
