Assessment for Selection

Understand the true nature and potential of your candidates

Hiring mistakes are common and costly. In the era of the ‘career nomad’, employee tenure is shrinking, and it is more important than ever to recruit and retain those hires, who have the capabilities to deliver and aspirations aligned with the organisation.

Psychometric assessments help you to make the right hiring choices. But selecting the most effective assessments for your business can be a challenge. There are thousands of tests on the market and new ones out each week, all promising to be the best. Our assessment for selection service can help you pick those with the highest predictive validity to suit your business.

Extensive academic research shows a significant, positive relationship between performance on ability and personality tests, competency-based interviews and performance on the job.

Our Approach

1. ASSESSMENT

We use psychometric assessments for recruitment and selection alongside interviews and other tools to gauge:

Intellectual ability

Interpersonal strengths and weaknesses

Approach to decision-making

Emotional intelligence

Drivers and motivations

Future potential

The psychometric test data cuts through unconscious bias. It supports you to pick the best candidate, not just the one with the CV you were expecting.

Assessments allow you to consider non-traditional hires by offering a new perspective on potential and talent.

2. POST ASSESSMENT

You will receive clear, detailed reports that describe your candidates’:

Strengths and development needs

Derailers

Fit against world-class benchmarks

Future potential

Suggestions for on-boarding and the support you will need to provide to get the best out of new recruits as they progress

Caroline answers the critical questions: Are they fit for purpose? Can they do better? What are the risks? It’s the combination of her business exposure, intuition and psychologist expertise which makes her insight so valuable, and particularly as she delivers at pace.
