Executive Assessment
Making the right hiring decisions is critical to business success
Our Business Psychologists provide evidence-backed assessments to help you hire and promote the right people for your business.
We use a combination of psychometric tools and in-depth interview techniques to cut through the noise and identify strengths, risks and potential.
We work with you to understand your business needs and the personal qualities you need from a hire. We can work with your existing Competency and Values Framework or create one that is more targeted to specific needs.
For senior-level roles, we understand the complexity and ambiguity of the work environment and the need to assess candidates for more than just technical expertise. We assess for a range of personal qualities, including strategic thinking capability, emotional intelligence, resilience and adaptability.
Our assessments and recommendations are presented back to you in clear and straightforward language, giving you the clarity to make confident decisions. We can also provide feedback to the candidates and support them with development action planning for ongoing success.

FAQS
Q: Why use personality tests?
A: Personality predicts who will succeed, where and why. You will get a sharper and more nuanced picture of the individual than if you hire on gut feel, competency models or CV alone.
Q: How do you choose the right approach for our business?
A: We dig deeper to understand the unique pressures, challenges, relationships and level of complexity to identify the key psychological drivers and behaviours needed to be successful.
​
Q: What is the process?
A: The assessment consists of an in-depth interview during which we will explore the key themes emerging from the personality tests (completed online by the candidate before the interview).
Q: What is the output of your assessment?
A: This is up to you. We can produce an extended or summary report identifying clear strengths and risks. We can map and rate this against your competency or values framework to support future performance management and succession planning. We can also debrief the hiring managers, answering any questions to help the decision-making process.
Q: Can you support the onboarding process for successful candidates?
A: Yes, we can provide comprehensive feedback and help them put together an action plan to support their ongoing development. We can also include development actions in the main report. We can also provide feedback to unsuccessful candidates to ensure they have had a positive application experience.
